Using the new features and and functions of ATS.5/3

reply to post by amazing

Help.. Where can I find my recent posts...like on the ribbon that we used to have?

I was unable to get to the beta testing before now to test it.

Click the arrow next to the "logout" tab above.

Go to your profile.

Click the "posts" icon.

It took me a minute to figure that out, too.

[edit] I followed my instructions and it did show my recent posts...however, when I click the post it only goes to the thread instead of my specific post. Obviously that's not how it's supposed to work.

In the instructions for the new ATS you said (regarding profiles)....


"Member Profiles

Your full profile page has some significant changes as well. We've removed the potential for displaying personal information, and as a result, have now made the profiles available to non-member visitors. "

I tried to figures this out...but was not able to. I logged out and tried to see if I could find my profile; I wanted to see what a (non-member) would see.

Unfortunately ...I was not successful. How do I see my profile if I am not logged in?

My my my.
This sure is a rather extreme change from our last board.
I guess you guys have your reasons.

I'll still miss to death the old layout.
Did this have to do with a Lawsuit by any chance?
Some web designers will sue you when you stop paying them to maintain the site.

oh if someone could please help me out.

where is my Wall ? you know the page where you and others can write on in your profile.

Love and harmony

Getting the hang a bit now.......do miss the 'top' button at the bottom to get a quick ride back up....now must scroll, scroll, scroll......getting sooooo old and arthritic, you see. Perhaps one of the whippersnapers could point out the 'elevator' if I just missed it!

It'll seem like home in no time, guys...........trust me, I've lived thru this before.

Thanks mate. That's pretty close to what I need. Right about not taking you to your last post, but well...that's better than nothing. Thanks again!

Whoah! Wasnt sure if there was some browser manfunction or something new happening with the site.
Glad to see it was something new! lol
This looks/feels well done. I like it!
Nice job to all who worked on it.

When those huge announcement bars come up at the bottom of the screen, how do you make them go away?

what are the empty black boxes on the top right for beside the youtube and mail buttons anyone

firefox and windows 8

GAH!


Could you be so kind as to let me know which version of Firefox.

And the "Print Screen" keyboard button typically copies a screenshot of your current desktop to the clibboard.







sorry about the pulling-teeth photo --- long day --- seems funny

thanks skeptic you have the patience of a saint it is firefox v23x still not sure about screenshot figure it out tonight

Is there a feature to get the top boarder to extend all the way to the left?

That's driving me insane.

I keep reading but I can't find an answer. Can we still 'star' a good comment? If so how??? Thanks.

NVM, found it.

This new version looks good but there are a few things that are not as good as in the old one. The firehose is really bad and short, as it was always my front page and starting point, that little pop up window with minuscule writing and only about 10 headlines is rubbish.

ok, not sure if this has been posted already or if I'm missing something but it seems that I can't go to my last post in a Thread unless I was the last one who posted on the Thread! If you know what I mean??

With the old Site I was able to go to the bar at the bottom and hit 'posts' which would then take me to all the Threads I had posted on recently and my post would be the one showing, not the last person to post on that Thread!

Do you know what I mean?

It now seems that I have to go back through the Thread to find my post and/or any reply to my post!

Maybe the option is there and I need to experiment!
