Change isn't always easy, but I think I can get used to all of this... even with the crazy emoticons

I personally am a fan of the new look and feel. I wish I had something more interesting to say, but I do not.

The main thing I'm missing is the 'recent activity' box on the main page. Having to look through all the categories on the bulletin page takes a lot more time to see what's going on....

I agree with that

I miss that too.

When I log in at hoe now, I have a "New Posts" button at the top of a forum page in the middle.

At work, I get "Today's Posts" instead. Is that weird?

are you logged into ths forum when this is happening?

The same thing happens to me, at home it's new posts, at work it is today's posts even though I am logged in at both locations. For what it's worth my work computer is a PC... yuck.

ok, it works like this.

Guests see the link "Today's Posts" not "New Posts"
"Today's Posts" shows the post over the last 24 hours.
"New Posts" shows all the posts since your last visit. This is determined a number of ways. It is determined by either a timeout from inactivity on the forums or your manual logging out of the forums. At that point, it resets the "New Post" count.

If you are logged in as a member you can go to the "Quick Links" dropdown at the top and view "Today's Posts" from there which will show the last 24 hours.

You can also go to "Search" then "Advanced Search" and search by dates to show all the threads within a specified time period.

I hope this helps. We are working on a large number of other integrations with the forum that will make it easier on you. But this should be a start.

.... :-/ my avatar isn't showing up (fabulous thing that is it!).

I can see it in my profile, but not next to my posts.

there are avatars and profile images. You should be sure to upload an avatar for the forums.
