🏈 Don't be afraid to post

[Hardkore]

Edit: Or how @Hardkore put it...

OK,that is one thing I haven't figured out yet,how to put the username that you are referring to/replying to with the @ before his name. Do you simply just type it in?

Let me try just in case @TerryP

*edit*OK,yep ,that is how it goes.

As you know...that sends me an alert to this thread.

Easy tool to use if you want to draw another members attention to a question, post, thread, etc.

Finally figured out how to get in. How y'all freaks doing?

Guess I need an avatard now. I'll have to ponder this one for a while.

No,I did not know that. I just saw the "alert" thing at the top right and see what you mean. Now I need to go thru my "alerts".

been playing with my custom title and still figuring out what to do but am OK with this for now

one thing of which i'm not a fan is the avatar.....size?.....dimensions?

mine is odd since it's a picture of my actual tag on my truck so it's not square. when i try to update it, it turns in into a square and crops the sides so i get this weird looking avatar that doesn't make any sense.

I like it I am having trouble figuring out a clever one for myself!

I know I am trying to think of something unique for myself

One thing I noticed in another thread, there is a 5 minute time limit on editing your post in a thread. Once 5 minutes pass,it is there to stay.

 

[Hardkore]

One other thing,the member list at the top only shows "notable" members or it list recent visitor members but includes lots of guests in the list.

I set it that way on purpose. On the old platform, once you'd posted you couldn't go back an edit.

Why? It's a pet peeve. I've seen people post opinions that were just downright stupid. Then, when called out, they went back and either deleted their post or changed it. (You've seen the drive-by drunk posts on various forums, I'm sure.)

Now, this is up for discussion if it should be changed. But, my thinking is if someone one is going to voice their opinion let it stand/remain for all to see. IF they find out they're wrong, let them say, "oops, I was wrong." I don't like the ol' "I never said that" when it's known they did, but deleted it so there's no reference...

Members? What are your thoughts on that setting? Five minutes, IMO, should give plenty of time to correct any typo's, etc.

Guests are those not logged in or those who haven't registered. Bots, like Google's, are noted as well. I've not looked at it closely but I'm assuming "notable" has to do with the number of posts a member has...

In the future we're going to refine the navigation tabs: it's on the list, just not next on the list.

I can understand that and agree with you on it. It just gets in the way a little if we have found some info to add to a post and just have to make a new post. Said post can sometimes get divided by other posts ,then people have to look in multiple post for the info.

 

[TerryP]

@Hardkore That's a good point and I thought about that very issue. Here's another thought I had about it...

Those new posts and the members who posted them won't see the additional info. When they come back to the thread the majority go to the first unread post. That doesn't take them back to the edited post so they'd end up missing the additional info.

I've been in that very situation...figured it was the easiest thing to just quote my own post and then say "adding to what I said earlier..."

There's no sure-fire method...

I like that. I'll try it next time.

Is there a way to put lines or some type of delineation between posts? They're just all jumbled together, it seems.

 

[Hardkore]

Looks like they are still playing with the controls figuring how to do it/put it together how they want to get it.

@TerryP @Doemasters Are there going to be the usual stuff on the header/Home page ,including the links for the shopping sites?

The crimson background looks good!
