The "what's new" only shows threads with new posts. The old "today's posts" allowed you to read threads and then later post without having to hunt for them in the sub forums.

It took me a while to figure out that TF is the only site (that I've ever visited, anyway) that has renamed Private Messages--of which I get a bunch and which is universally known-- "Conversations." PM is the universally known term...I strongly recommend you restore that name for them 'cuz if I didn't know what "conversations" means, no one else will either.

What happened to daily digests for subscribed forums? They no longer show up and instead I'm getting a bunch of emails for individual threads - which I find annoying.

Greetings,
Agree with all of the above.
There is no delineation between posts I've read and the rest of the new posts.
Lost my "new" avatar.
I'm trying to like the new format but...
Just found the underline button: What the hell is "inline code" and "inline spoiler"??? I can't be the only old fart who isn't up with the "latest and greatest".
Oh and thanks for the OP inclusion.

One thing we could not save was the record of what you've read and what you haven't read. BUT this software can do the same even though the old history was not retained. Here is a recap of the info in post 1 of this thread.
You may need to Mark a forum "read" for this to work correctly moving forward. The conversion could not "remember" what you have already seen and so initially all threads may appear as unread.
To do this, open a forum and look for the link at the top of the list of threads to "Mark Read"

Inline code allows you to add extra markup to a post (like colors and fancy formatting) beyond the current buttons on the tool bar that do this.
The spoiler alert is a warning that masks text and is commonly used to prevent someone from seeing an important detail that is about to be revealed but where knowing it may ruin the story. (sort of like reading the end of the book first).
Example:
Q: What do you get when you cross a dentist and a boat?
A Tooth Ferry!

Add another. Eventually you'll get it right
Fair enough. Software changes are a bit like Kitchen remodels. Everything is in the wrong place for a while. Give it some time...

I guess I can try that but it doesn't seem it will address my question... marking all threads as already read would (I expect) reduce the number of notification emails for "new threads/conversations". OK, but that's not the core issue of my question - I don't want notifications at a thread granularity. I prefer ONE daily summary digest with a list of new or updated threads - the o;d forum did that very well. Unless I specifically subscribe to a particular thread, I do NOT want to get many emails for threads during the course of a day from trawler forum.
Is there a digest facility within the new forum software?

Is a mobile app available from the App Store?
OP

No. The site is entirely viewable on mobile using a browser. The sizing is responsive. Just open a browser on your device and navigate to the site. Consider setting a bookmark for the site on your home screen.
Using Chrome you'll find this option in the top right under the browser tools. (3 small dots) >add to home screen >install. An app is not really installed BUT an app-like icon is loaded to your device with a link to the site. Very handy.
Safari has a similar function.

Liking it so far, thanks!!
This may be a dumb question, but when I click "Remember Me" at logon, it doesn't. I rarely logged on to the old one; as long as I used the same machine and same browser, it remembered me. So far with this new one, I've had to log on every time. Anyone else seeing this, or is it just me?

Here's a new Forum 101 thread - still being built: Forum 101 - Navigation, Account Management
A lot of the new forum software packages have ditched the PM or DM in favor of conversations. Just something to get used to.

You know the AGLCA did modification to their Forum about 3 years ago in the name of "modernization." It ruined a :good thing"for me...I just dont get why some computer whiz tbough changing names of itrms was their prrrogative.

I like the fresh new look! I'm sure it will take a while for people to get used to it but that's always the case, it needed an update IMHO. Oh and no prob with the Avatar, it took me maybe two minutes to simply remove and replace with an appropriately sized pic.

No, that's not it.
"Today's Posts" in the old software showed all threads with one new post in the last 24 hours. Regardless of how often you checked "Today's Posts" would show the thread whether it had received another new post or not. In that menu, threads with new posts that you hadn't seen were bolded. Threads without a new post since you checked last weren't bold.
BTW, if viewing the site in a browser versus the app on a phone, the menus change ( include other options) on the horizontal toolbar depending on whether the phone is held in portrait or landscape.

That may be true as long as the sink still fits the counter. I tried rectangles portrait and lanscape and square, under 400 x 400 and up to 800 x 800. Either the stern or some of the bow and stern are cropped off.Add another. Eventually you'll get it right

I like the new look, but noticed that everyone's boat type is now no longer shown under the Avatar. Is that under some sort of setting? Or are we trying not to shame one another on how big our boats are?

Just replace it with the original as I did and then it is correct
