Your Help Needed - Evalutating NEW Forum Software

[Smart Red]

While I've had no problems with the old site, I expect to have just as many here -- zero. Let the world know that I found my way here.

It's easy, I did it. Go to your profile page, download your pix, it's there. Tell it done

Hi Friends! I made it in (From another dimension, lol). this is going to take some getting used to.
I need to figure out how to put up an avatar. My big ? photo stands out like a sore thumb.

Nifty, what are those Profile Messages about?

I believe they are kinda like a "status update"... but I'm not sure. Guess we need to experiment with them.

Something is just not working. OE, I'm sure.

Have you tried this link to change your avatar: http://www.theeasygarden.com/account/avatar

What happens (doesn't happen) when you try?

When you went to profile page, tap on avatar space, you didn't get instructions on how to browse for pic?

I figure if you "follow" someone in your News Feed, then you'll get all of their updates. Handy dandy.

ETA: Check it out guys...if you click on a member's name and then click "Profile Page" which is in the little grey box that pops up, you will go to something similar to a facebook "wall" and you can leave a little message for them there too.

One thing I really miss......I used to go to my profile and I could click on all posts or on posts I started. This helped me update old threads I started, now I can't find them without sifting through pages of threads. Nifty, does this new forum have that ability? Am I just not looking in the right place?

I asked about this on BYC, when you updated the forum over there. I miss the links to the sister sites at the bottom of the page. I enjoy all your forums and it is so easy to click on the bottom of the page to visit the other sites. Are you able to add the links on each site?

Thanks for the reminder! Adding links to all the sites is on the todo list!

Regarding links to your posts / topics:

Hover over your username and click on "Your Profile Page"

Next click on the "Information" tab and then you can see all your posts or threads:

You can do this for any member too!
