What do you see if you click on the poster's name or avatar in a post (yours or anyone else's) then choose Profile Page from the popup? This should take you to that poster's public profile page. The Information tab there is where the real name was being shown, and where I got it removed. If you can see anyone's real name anywhere on this public profile, please let me know.

Now hover your cursor over your own name in the blue menu bar at the top of the page (don't click). This should pop up a window with a bunch of links to parts of your profile. In this popup if you click on your name, your avatar, or the "Your profile page" link at the top of this popup, it takes you to your own public profile page, as seen by everybody else.

If instead you click on one of the other links below that (or CLICK on your name in the menu bar instead of just hovering over it), you'll go to your own private profile pages, where you can enter/edit your data. These pages of your profile are not publicly viewable -- you see them but nobody else has access. The Real Name field is on the Personal Details page of your profile.

If you're seeing a real name field displayed anywhere else, please report back with instructions on how to get there and we'll try to see what else has to be modified.

If I hover over my own name as you suggest, or even click something, it doesn't show anything, because my Real Name field is blank. I previously deleted my name. I can't see anyone else's name this way, because I'm not them. ;)

If I click on an avatar on the left side of the screen, and then click on the avatar again in the pop-up window that comes up, it shows me the Real Name field for anyone whose profile is not set to private.

Checking New Posts - click on name - click on profile - I can see many people's real names - including yours. I will need to take my real name off - for safety - if this is not able to be fixed.
 
id suggest removing it if it bothers you, it can always be added back later if necessary

Done.
This wasn't a problem with the old software. It seemed you were trying to get it working on the new software - or is that now impossible?

Think I got it. You were seeing it on the bottom left of the public profile, correct? Hadn't noticed that one -- don't think I ever scrolled down far enough. Try it now.

im sure we will eventually figure it out, but if it is a big deal for some to have it public its likely just easier and safer to remove it now manually.

That's correct. I no longer see the name there, so whatever you did worked!

Thanks!

Thanks
 
I am anxiously awaiting tapatalk support. :) Is there a different app we could use? Tapatalk was nice because of the alerts.
 
This morning on my iPad the posts are jumbled rather than listed in order of most recent post. I have posts from "43 minutes ago" and "7 minutes ago" intermixed with posts from last night and yesterday afternoon.
 
When looking at new posts. Now that I am downstairs on the big computer everything is in chronological order as expected.
 
hmm...thats bizarre...take a screenshot next time please?

i dont see a way to sort the "new posts" even by column like you can with regular forum posts.
 
Hi Brian,

Any chance to get an update for my Smartphone and 7" Tablet that displays the Number of Views for each Thread? At the moment, only the Number of Replies is displayed.

Both Number of Views and Number of Replies are displayed on my PC and on my 10.1" Tablet.

Thanks

Richard
 
this is most likely not a specific brand issue, but instead a screen resolution issue.

the easiest way to see examples of this is on your computer, begin "shrinking" the forum homepage slowly using your mouse...you will see the forum automatically begin to adjust the way it looks to fit within the confines of the browser size.

it is likely that your pc and 10" tablet are getting one look because the screen resolution width is higher than on your 7" tablet which has the style shrink to fit the page...and part of that shrinking is likely losing the "views" section.
 
With nine pages in this thread I don't have time to read them all right now. What I'd like to know is how to edit the title on a post I have made. I knew there was an extra step in the old format but cannot find one here. I will start working my way through this thread to see if I can find an answer, was just trying to modify a post I made earlier.
 
I have scanned the previous post and don't see this brought up. I will continue to look at my post to see if I can edit the title line.
 
Found it. There is a "button" that says "forum tools" after I hit edit and in there it allows me to edit the title line.

It's works on my iPhone. I just liked getting alerts when someone responded to my post, or a new post popped up in a forum I was watching.

this should still happen if you set those forums/threads up to be watched here on this forum

My phone will beep when someone posts in a forum I am watching?
