New forum - what have you figured out?

If you click on your user name next to the message envelope, click on account details and then click on alerts...it shows you who has posted to any thread you have posted in and who has replied to your posts.

Use of the like button instead of one line posts with a thumbs up, "+1" "cool", or "Thanks!" will keep the threads shorter.

Dunno if this has been posted or not yet, but I just discovered something.

If you directly paste a url into the reply box, rather than using the link button, it posts some of the linked page, beyond just the link.

The more I look at this the more I like it. Gives the reader info from the link to determine whether following the link is usefull or waste of time. In the old format there was a lot more copy/pasting to get a similar result. This is easy...

State Road 37 in Martinsville will close throughout 2021 for I-69 construction. Here's the detour.

A major year-long road closure is scheduled to begin Saturday in Martinsville when five miles of State Road 37 will be shut down for construction of the final leg of Interstate 69.

I think this shows you threads you're watching, the bell to the right of the envelope does the same thing for me

i just now am seeing the change(s). Like anything, most likely, once I get over whining about every thing changing and use the site for awhile it will come easier to manipulate.

Testing to see if I can attach a pic

The bell shows just a few though so I kind of like where I can see it all without having to scroll...I'm lazy. LOL

Double clicking the bell takes you to the same alerts page with less steps...

I'm still learning, but hey, I made it thru the Windows 10 conversion, so I can do this! LOL

Yeah, me too. I downloaded a shell that makes Windows 10 look like 7

Looks like you figured out how to change your avatar. You must be smarter than you thought!

On PC, clicking "Latest Posts" (above where it lists the 4 latest posts) brings up the "What's New" dialog from the top bar, but jumps to the latest posts section (and lists all of the posts you haven't read, in timeline order).

Also, this view appears to show pictures in the preview so you can see the joke pic threads without going into them. Handy.

Ehhh... Looked like it worked that way a minute ago? I must have done something else...

Where are the three dots? I don't see an obvious "message bubble."

You don't know how to use the three dots?

2. I have no idea.

BOOM! Helps a ton. thanks.

If anybody needs a profile banner I'm willing to help...

IDK if this has been posted or not but is the 50 post or Site supporter rule to send PM's not in effect now since we switched to conversations?

I received a conversation started by someone that just joined yesterday 12-28-20 inquiring about an ad I had posted in the classifieds.

Just playing around to get a feel for the board but I'm having trouble navigating the forums. Life was so simple last week

I noticed SEARCH function is just, wrong. Was looking for a past thread, that I commented in, and I'm not there and I could not find the thread at all.

Anyone else having that fun?

Cool! I just posted my very first embedded youtube video! I don't know how, but I'm pretty sure I could figure it out again.
