Up front: I like the new forum. There are some tweaks we need to make but we're getting there and we'll get there sooner rather than later. Ed Brown is close to the software so we have somebody in the club with a solid knowledge base for the program and willing to fix what needs fixing.
Ed, Joe and myself are the Administrators for the forum and ask for your patience as we move the new forum along in the right direction. With that, we also need your help. Please use this thread to help us identify any issues you are having in the event somebody else is having the same issue. This will help everyone see what the fix is given by an administrator and hopefully mitigate multiple threads in multiple places with members having the same issue.
Thanks!

Click on Settings.
Click on General Settings.
Scroll down to: Thread Display Mode:
There you can make changes to your liking.
Make sure you go clear down to the bottom of that page and hit Save..
Also scroll to the top of this page. You should see at the top, Whats New - Articles - Forum - blah, blah.
Click on Articles as Ed had put the setting that you should use as default.

I'm conflicted where this should go since the 'picture' thread is pretty full, however this is relevant to both threads so I'll point the other thread this way...
Anyway, tonight I was able to log in as Skagitguy (thanks Chuck) and see what he is seeing with regards to posting pictures and other issues I noted while logged in as him.
First problem, when I attempted to upload a picture under his profile he gets this message:
picture error.jpg
Next I attempted to upload his avatar but noted there was no size limit associated under the 'choose file to upload' area:
avatar settings no limits.PNG
On my own settings page I see this:
avatar limits.PNG
Ed is this something you can fix? It's outta my league...Last edited by Kelly; 11-05-2014, 03:59 PM.

When I read a book I do like to start at the beginning, but not every time I open it. I'd rather pick up where I left off. So, I would prefer to start with messages I haven't read yet. If it has to be the beginning or the end, I would rather it be then last one that I see first.

I think leaving it up to the individual is the best way to go. I prefer the last post to be, well, last. I like reading in an order that makes sense to me...like a book.

I think the last post in the thread should be the first one you see.
I will put that down on my notes of stuff to fix.

Nice work Capt!
As far as displaying the thread in an order that makes sense (most recent at the bottom) you can change that in the settings page, "general settings"...about half way down you'll see a drop-down menu about how to display the thread. Select "oldest at the top" and voila! Let me know if that doesn't work.

Guest repliedOriginally posted by GregJ View PostThe biggest problem I have is when people are kind enough to try to explain a lot of this they get a little to computer nerdy for some of us that don't live our lives around our computers. Like, what the hell is an avatar? I don't ever expect to be able to post pictures. I think I'm doing pretty good in just being able to post anything. I really appreciate you guys that work so hard to keep this Web going but please realize that some of us are computer illiterate so the simpler you explain things the better. Thanks man.
Is this less confusing? http://www.classicboatclub.com/conte...ofile-Pictures
