I'm having a hard time with this new format

[BLK HMMWV]

First off I appreciate the forum and all those that do their magic to keep it up and running.
So please don't take this wrong. perhaps it's still in flux ??
With that said I'm not real crazy about the look of this new format.
It's hard to tell old posts from new posts
Every section has a picture of a HMMWV

Yeah, I'm not crazy for the HMMWV icon on every section. Different sections should have different icons. I also don't like how the site says "You have insufficient privileges to reply here. " when I try bump my add in the (parts for sell) section in the classifieds. I'm wondering if this just me, or is anyone else having this problem. I'm a paying member, premium status. Also my picture gallery in my profile has been deleted, or the feature has been completely removed.

I can't figure out how to get new posts to come up first either and no way to distinguish from what I've read. Any answers?

Click on "what's new" on the toolbar then click new posts.

I did see that. That tab shows new for the whole forum though. How can you find new feeds in specific forums like 5 ton and up or generator forums?

I clicked the 'Mark Read' at the beginning of the forum and everything became history. It's there, but it's old, not new, already read. Then new posts started appearing in brighter bold color. Also, there's a migration thread for posting questions: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/steel-soldiers-migration-12-9-19.192674/page-8#post-2256465

I've gotten pretty comfortable with the new site. Not so when I first clicked on it. Check out the migration thread....

Marking as read at least put the threads in order by date. Before that the dates were completely random. That at least helps. Being old and not liking change doesn't help things!

No I'm having all kinds of trouble cant seem to figure out how to PM someone I just thought it was because I'm a hit and peck person not computer smart. My grandbabies are better than me

 

[Zed254]

I think you click on the name of the person you want to PM (left side of thread) and click on 'Start Conversation'. I just sent a note to you. Let me know if it works.

not liking this new look myself

G'day everyone,.....



Not liking the new look,....

Loved the other one better,...

Sure I may get used to operating this one over time but still like the other better if there was a choice.

Just my personal opinion.

Nice to know I'm not alone.

Too bad it was. You just didn't know.

At the top right of the screen, between your user name and the search button, click on the "envelope". There you can input a user name and "start a conversation".

Or, you can click on a user name anytime(you see it).
