Can we go back in time to the old version?

We'll have to use a DeLorean and configure the flux capacitor.

Hi Uwe
Firstly thanks for your help I can now log in again! Is anyone else finding some photos appear as thumbnails and others full size? Also some you seem to have to click a link to access?

Also some threads are appearing as multiple pages worth on one page and others you have to click through page by page (if that makes sense..?)

[CamBiscuit]

Also we have a tab for latest activity within a thread, as well as recent threads and new topic buttons on the home page. I'm still trying to get my head around the function of all three. I kind of liked the old system where you just clicked on new posts button to get the latest activity......

I noticed there is a Todays posts tab for the non-members, once I log in this is no longer available, am I missing seeing this when logged or can we also have this feature added on the members page?

Cam and mrar

The standard options tended to relate more to threads rather than the latest post in the thread, in the old system we had 'Recent Threads' which did show the last postings. I added that as 'Recent Threads' as the first option but I think the name is not well suited with all the other 'Thread' options.

I have changed the name to Leading Edge now to give everyone a better indication of what it does - show the latest "off the presses' posts, this is also a registered only option.

The 'Todays Post' option is now the only option for unregistered users and it now shows for us as well.

Thanks for picking this up, hopefully its a little better now.

I am still having problems with the "What did you get in the mail?" thread. On the MacBook despite clearing the Safari browser cache that browser will not open the thread at all. The Google Chrome browser will open it but Scotty's post which I presume is about a BMW 3.0CS does not appear although other posts referring to the BMW do appear. The iPad will now not open the thread at all despite clearing the browser cache. Does anybody have any hints to rectify this issue?

try going into user settings (top right) then account.. Change posts per page to 10.

That fixed it for me as it was previously trying to load the entire thread ..

good luck.

Thanks Marcus, that's fixed the problem.

Uwe, I cant seem to get the PM/Message to work. I have received messages and then reply but they don't show as sent? Also when I click on a message to read it, I get a blank pop-up?

something like that happens to me as well - the pop up is always blank. However if you click into message centre and then in box and then on the subject line of the ,message all is revealed as well as a box to reply

I get the same blank pop up, msg centre works.
