I've been able to delete my photo avatar but the upload doesn't seem to like me. :-(
Also, I used to go to the "my threads" tab to quickly see who had said anything new on the threads I'd posted on. Is that capability still available? I can't seem to locate it. TIA!

I don't see a way to do a Multi Quote. On Disboards, they also have a 'Quote' button where Like and Reply are on TUG. You can click one or many of them. Then under the new post box, there is a 'Insert Quotes' button that you can arrange the order of the quote or remove ones you don't want. Then click another button and it inserts all the quotes.

this is built in with xenforo by default, just click "reply" on each of the posts you want to quote, it should auto add the quote in the reply box down below.

Yep, clicking Reply on both quotes resulted in both of them being input to the box on the bottom of the page. It takes some scrolling back and forth but seems to be easy enough to get used to.

What is the function of the "+ Quote" thing (in between "Like" and "Reply" on the lower right corner of posts?)

The new font size ruined the view on mobile screen.

So now that I have my dearly departed Lucy avatar up and going, any easy way to change myself from guest to member? I was never able to figure out how to do it in the past (and never understood why I had to do more than pay my dues for the change to be noted).

There is still a 'Watched Threads' at the top that will show all the threads you have posted to. However, make sure that "Automatically watch threads that you create or when you reply..." is checked in your Preferences section.

This might help, though it looks like there are some things broken. It may also be written for the old BBS. THey key is entering the BBS Member code in the Personal Details section of the settings on the new BBS.

I was getting more than two words per line to read messages. I'll have to rotate and read it that way until you get Tapatalk working. Note the quoted text is much smaller and has more words per line.

was it looking fine at 14pt and the change to 13pt broke it?

or was it working fine at the original 11pt?

I think it worked better at 11pt, not a biggie I can rotate for reading. I thought maybe there were separate settings for mobile devices.

might very well be, ill look into that!
 
Can we go back to a smaller font? the forum is currently unreadable on my phone, with only 1-2 words per line. it was much better this morning...
 
I liked seeing where posters were from and which timeshares they own alongside each post. That way, when someone asks about a certain location, I know whether the advice given is from a local or a traveler. Also, if someone posts a sighting it's nice to see at a glance whether they own a timeshare that gives them priority for that exchange (i.e. Marriott or Vistana).
 
What happened to the nice drop down list of forums? Right now it seems like I have to back out of a forum to get to the main list, and then pick the next forum I want to see.

This is my first visit since the changeover so I don't know if threads with new posts since my last visit still appear in bold. It was really nice in the old software that I could tell at a glance if anything new had been posted on a topic I was interested in.

I agree, the large fonts are not particularly nice.

All in all, the new system seems really clumsy and not very user friendly.

As far as I can tell, new posts are no longer since your last visit. When you read them they disappear from the New Posts page. They will remain there until you read them. You can mark a forum or all forums as read though and that will clear the page.

Are you using Chrome? There is a setting on the option menu, top right, called Request Desktop Site. That worked for me. Brian is checking on the mobile settings.

Brian added a Recent Posts link at the top right of the New Posts list. It works like the old list with bolded unread. I think its only the recent 24 hrs.
