I like the fact that I can "like" private messages.
Frankly, that seems like a BUG. I mean... What's the point if only you will ever see such a thing?
I do like adding the link and being able to type what text I want as I just did without having to edit html.
We could do that before. There was a thing to click on right in the message entry/edit box, looked like a couple of chain links. Kind of like the one that is now showing directly below (for whatever reason?) this message entry box
.
BtW, speaking of adding links... It's kind small, blurry, and faint - so I might be mistaken - but it looks (to me) like your .SIG is a little messed up. Appears to be the address to your grow journal thread, then beside that is the title of your thread.
I'm old and hate new things........so my opinion I will just keep to myself.
It might be more helpful to post your opinion. Seems like more and more old farts are using cannabis these days, even if some of them are only interested in its medicinal benefits - so it is reasonable to assume that we have been and will be seeing more and more old newbie members. Newbie in regards to this forum, but possibly newbie in regards to computers in general, too. And as I typed that, I was reminded of a friend of mine who was 77 or thereabouts when I finally found her an intuitive desktop environment for her laptop. She'd be hopelessly lost - and after a few minutes of frustration, she'd give up and not bother trying again.
Links in Sigs don't work, not going to go thru 30-100 pages of Journals to find my threads, as I also can't find a way to see my threads I have started (again I must be stupid).
Go up to the very top of the page, click on your name, and... <SIGH> pound on your keyboard with both fists in frustration, LMFAO? I already discovered that "Following" has nothing to do with threads that you've subscribed to, created, read, or anything like that. (I think it's one of those (anti-)social media cult gizmos, actually.) Try "Your Content." That reads like it'd have your threads in it, right? Er... NO.
DOGGONE IT!!!!!!!!!! Someone told me how to at least find my list of subscribed threads. I should have taken a Sharpie and copied their directions directly onto my laptop's display, I guess. Well, if nothing else, you can probably click on your name (again, at the very top of the page), then when the box of choices pops up, click on your name in
that, and-- no, no, NO that doesn't take you to any place you can find your threads, either. WtF?!?
Okay, this ought to still work, because it's a third-party thing: Do you remember the title of your journal thread? IF SO, go to any halfway decent search engine (even Google will work for this), type:
Code:
site:https://www.420magazine.com "Thread Title"
Wow, that's... I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't just used the Preview function to check.
CODE TAGS FINALLY WORK HERE!!! I can finally post a link to a website without having to mangle the thing for it to not be a live link (clickable). Awesome, add that to the positive side of the ledger where the forum software changegrade is concerned (IMHO).
Anyway, replace Thread Title with the actual thread's title, but leave the quotation marks so it searches for that exact phrase instead of any page where those words appear. It might take a few days for search engines to populate with the new links - but I checked to see if the forum was up a couple hours before it actually was (couldn't view much in the way of threads, but the main page and such were in place), it showed like four people online and 600+ "guests," so Google's (et al) web spiders must already have been crawling all over the website. IOW, a (search engine's) site-search might work now.
I can see Reports, but can't see anything else in the back areas (maybe intentional), and no idea how to do anything with anything anyway, so no point in me looking at them.
Maybe they're watching to see if you screw up anything out here in the public areas before they let you loose in the private section. Just kidding, lol (but...).
I’m on iPhone with chrome. Very top right corner. 3 dots. Request desktop site.
I've actually been trying to think of a way to USE the mobile version. Can you check that mobile version to see if its address is different than what we get by default on laptops/desktops (Please!) and, if it is different, post the mobile web address so I can try it out instead of this one? (Thanks!)
