You should see the menu by just hovering over your username (not your username next to your avatar, your username further up), but then you have to click on Your Content

Yeah, I have to click on it for some reason, doesn't matter much.I'll get by I'm sure.:)

Ok, cool, thanks.

One thing I just discovered, which is kinda weird. when I clicked "account upgrades," it shows the correct date for my subscription to run out, but it says that it's an "annual subscription," that it will renew automatically, but I know that's not what I originally had -- I dislike auto-renew features and never select them, and this one is particularly bad, falling just a day or two *before* payday -- it could cause me an overdraft, which would cost more than the subscription itself.

I don't know what you had , but there is an option for just a one time yearly payment now. You can cancel the recurring payment though pretty easily.

Here is how to cancel an automatic payment with a merchant:

  1. Log in to your PayPal account.
  2. Click the Profile icon next to "Log out."
  3. Click Preapproved Payments.
  4. Select the payment, and then click Cancel.

Any plans to include the team ECF folding@home link below team member's avatars? Curiousity about the designation is what got me to click the link, find out about it, and start folding for our team. It does make vapers in general and ECF forum members in particular look good in the eyes of the medical research community...

So what do you guys think of it so far?
SO Far - So Good . . .

As I have posted elsewhere already . . .

Start of a NEW DAY . . . AND - A NEW ECF . . . :D

Thankfully it is similar to 2 other forums I belong too . . .So not too much different, other then some very great options that those forums have that have yet to be implemented here on ECF (hopefully they will be) . . . So For "Me" it will be a wait and see process that will take time, just hopefully not to long . . .

BTW: JUST As An FYI - It has already taken about an half-hour to set up "My" Profile (including getting "My" sig-line back) and getting "My" Privacy Settings redone (which haven't been updated yet, but I know will), while trying "My" hardest to opt-out of all the other "Stuff" that is here that I would rather not have/be involved with . . . SO - As things progress "We'll see what the future will tell "Us" all about the changes . . .

AND - As "My" niece - "Kat" Said So Well . . .

Thank you retired1, and all of the other ECF staff, for gently leading us thru this transition. It's good to be back! :)

@kathi17 - The option to upload an image from your pc for your signature is not yet enabled in the admin. Your not doing anything wrong. :) I'm sure they will resolve the issue and I will still "like" you inspite of any displayed additional titles. I promise. :)

If it is not to presumptuous for "Me" to mention or suggest here - there is a work around (that I even had to use) . . . All "You" have to do is use either "Tinypic" (TinyPic - Free Image Hosting, Photo Sharing & Video Hosting or "LunaPic" (LunaPic | Free Online Photo Editor or even "Photobucket" (Photo and image hosting, free photo galleries, photo editing - which will also allow you to remove the image/link when and if you want to while offsite) . . . Once on one of those website that "You" chose to use - "You can upload your signature banner directly from a PC/Tablet and then use one of the direct links provided and the IMG BBCode to insert it back . . . Just Sayin' . . . ;)


OH Yea - Before I forget and of course when "You" have a chance, is there anyway that "We" can have the "Search"'Advance Search" function back for individual Threads ? ? ?
IMO - It would be very helpful . . . THANKS ! ! !


Now to get back to "fixing" some other things - Like trying to "re-delete" (did this before the change over, but it seems they returned) and organize all "My" other PM's somehow, so I can access what information and smiley's I've saved there for future use on ECF . . .

See You Later . . .

I wonder if it is pastable, and if others would prefer it as well.... I'd love to see the avatars BELOW the poster info. My eye goes to the avi, then I have to read the status, then find the member's name. I'm sure if you can't or won't change it, I'll adjust to it in time, but I would prefer it changed.

I click on 'new posts' and only shows 10 pages of new posts, as ECF is a really busy forum, 10 pages is not much, or am I missing something, other than a lot of posts?

The re-indexing of all the forum messages is going to take a while. There are several things going on "behind the scenes" at this time. We hope everyone will be patient with us while we're "mopping the floors."

So, that is something that will change? Cause at Nailz pointed out, currently it looks like new posts defaults to a maximum of 10 pages, even if there's more new content than that.

No problem being patient, just wasn't sure if that was a lmitation of the software or something that could be changed.

Yes. There's another "easter egg" for supporting members as well. But you gotta go looking for it. ;)

OMGoodness. Easter was like soooooooooo 2 or 3 weeks ago. (Where'd ya hide it???) :D

lamarrk, we'll be patient. We're just so happy to be back, we don't mind your wet floors. So, we'll skid around for awhile.... no bigs!

That's probably something we'll have to fiddle with in the search engine. We'll take a look tomorrow.

Can I assume that is a reply to "My" earlier question . . . ;)

If so - THANK YOU . . . :D
