Congratulations for actually seeing, reading, and comprehending that notice. You would not believe how many times I've already had to write to people who blindly replied to those notification emails thus sending replies they thought were private to the bbs admin address..
On a related topic, why would this new system permit email notifications but not have the capability to handle replies via email?
yep, tapatalk again causing problems...ive disabled it.
annnnd re-enabled today with another file fix from their support...fingers crossed again.

Nothing I've found in this new XenForo bbs software will reveal one user's email address to another user. For you to be able to reply directly to your private correspondent via email it would have to give you your correspondent's email address. That's why you must go back to your private conversation to enter your reply. It also is the only way to keep your conversation thread intact.
If so, it must have been through an add-on to the system, because there is no way to do that with XenForo as it comes out of the box.Similar systems I've used allow me to reply which is added to the correspondence in the system, as if I replied within the app itself. I don't want the senders email address, I only want to be able to email a reply to the message. These are not the same things.
Thanks...again! I'm not crossing my fingers; they're still hurting from the last several attemptsannnnd re-enabled today with another file fix from their support...fingers crossed again.
hmmm. Turns out I got dropped off after the upgrade. I used to get a nightly email showing new threads and updates to threads (and a separate email for threads that I was active in). How do I turn that back on? I seem to be getting every update or only when a new thread is started?
this is a feature of the "watched forums" and "watched threads" tools....
simply browse to the forum (or forums) you wish to "Watch" and click the link at the very top right hand corner of the forum itself that says "watch forum". this will add that forum to your watch list and you can choose the sort of notification you wish to receive when something new is updated.
you can also do this for individual threads as well.
the feature still exists, itll just take us a bit more customization to enable it to show up automatically under your avatar!anyway to add the my vacation history link like the old version had? I enjoyed that feature.
Hi PamMo,I can't find a way to change/correct my thread title. Was the ability to do that removed, or have I just not figured it out? It used to be under More Options... when you went to edit your post.
Hi PamMo,
The feature is still there - Look to the upper Right hand side of the monitor above your thread title - you will see "Thread Tools" - click the drop down arrow, a menu choice will be edit title.
Hope this helps.

I previously had the "Thread Tools" button at the top right of the page, but it has disappeared. [I still see it when on the FlyerTalk site.]That did it! Thanks, guys!
That option doesn't exist in XenForo. FlyerTalk is still using vBulletin. Depending on what you are trying to do, the same options are available elsewhere.I previously had the "Thread Tools" button at the top right of the page, but it has disappeared. [I still see it when on the FlyerTalk site.]
Is there a setting that I might have changed that caused me to lose those tools? Using Chrome on a Mac. Thanks!
