Is everyone getting used to things?

[John]

Up until 2016/17 the forum had been running on VB, so if I had not moved to XF this would have been the norm and everyone would have not know anything different to what we have now.

[John]

I've changed the close thread, now anything that hasn't had a reply for 1825 days (5 years) is closed

[Gern]

Now where did they go?

Just had a look at a couple of posts. When I went back to New Topics, they weren't shown. Equally, I wanted to have another look at one of my own posts the other day to make sure I'd sent all the replies I wanted and my post wasn't there either.

[Andy T]

Yes. I've found "new topics" does that. Most annoying.

I've switched to using the "today's posts" button instead, which seems to behave itself much better.

[Ian M]

once you have read it it is no longer a 'new topic' just like the old forum software, As that Japanese advert for crisps once said. "Same S*#t new wrapper."

[Steven000]

I also use "today's posts", seems to work the most like the button I used on the old forum

[John]

New topics works the same way as new posts used to, once you have read them it doesn't show them until the next time they have been posted it, so there is absolutely no change in how that works

[Andy T]

Come to think of it, I'd checked (or un-checked) the "unread" filter back there, which probably explains why I'm finding it acting differently here.

[John]

Ian was asked if the post text could be made bigger, I've set it to size 18, it looks ok to me but I'm at work and have a 47" ultrawide monitor

[Steven000]

I prefered the previous text size, but I'm also a bit weird . Any possibility you can add it as an option in user settings so people can set it themselves? (I'm using phone version)
cheers

[John]

No because it’s a style option, but you could change your style to default from blue-yellow style, that one is untouched.

[Steven000]

This is how it looks on my phone for reference:

So far so good.

[papa 695]

Yes, getting used to it.

Getting there slowly, being a non teccy person I find it beneficial to achieve one action/ task at a time e.g. post an image, use the quote facility.
Many thanks to John and his "minions" for facilitating the move and the constant problem solving/ answering queries.
