Welcome to Off Topic Chat!

this is fantastic. I haven't visited here in months but I'm really liking so far what has been done. Bless it looking good on mobile, too. Thank you for your hard work.

 

The new forum software looks super. Thank you all mods for your hard work, hope the upgrade goes smoothly

 

Is there a way to go to the last post in a thread instead of just the last page?

 

What happened to our Subscriptions? I had a list of threads I subscribed to but they are all missing now.

 

CLick on your user name at the top and under " your account" there's a "watched threads" that should show you the threads you're subscribed too.

 

not that I can find but try the medium grey I find it even better and then make your text a heavier font... that helps too

 

okay can't 'add' quotes in editing...
You don't have to take the long way around... just click the "forums" tab... the 'watched threads' link is in there.

 

Definitely liking the mobile view!

 

I am confused. How do I get to a list of all the forums and subforums, like the main page of the old forum had?

 

Got it. Now I just need to find out how to put them back in the "folders" I had them separated into before. I don't want my "Interested In" Marketplace threads or my rarely looked at "Commisions" favs mixed in with my daily watched threads.

 

Thanks for the hard work!! Looks amazing so glad it is back!!

 

Yay!

 

Question... can we search through specific threads anymore? I can't seem to find that.

 

Ahhhh I am an idiot lol thanks..... That's a great simplified feature.

 

*lol*@ the testing threads in the Marketplace.

 

I totally had to go look. Thank you, I needed that laugh.

 

When you can see who is online it says members, guests, and robots.... Who/ what are the robots?

 

Well then alright lol.... I hope they are friendly

 

Hi, I might need to talk to the mods, but it looks like people are starting to be able to post in the Marketplace, however I get a message at the bottom of my threads that indicate I don't have the proper permissions to reply to my own posts.

 

@Kirahfaye I've noticed it too. The dolls sections are showing as updated today (not mod tests). I figured it was just being added back in as the changes are being made so showing as an update.

@Dezarii What we can see is actual member posts in the rest of the MP that's still closed with updates in the last few hours. I think it is what is causing the confusion.

 

@Dezarii Sorry I'm not near my computer right now and my mobile phone isn't letting me in to the MP threads at all for some reason

 

@Dezarii I just looked at the MP and I don't see any new posts in the still closed areas so I'm not sure what posts @Forever is talking about. I see new posts in HANDCRAFTED GOODS and DOLLS but not anywhere else. I wonder if people didn't realize y'all had opened the Handcrafted Goods part as well.

 

Sorry. I meant in the Dolls section. I have 4 doll/parts and when I go to any of those threads, there is no place to add a bump post (unless it's done differently now and I just didn't see the instructions) and I get this "(You have insufficient privileges to reply here. If this is a Marketplace thread, please remember that some areas are currently closed.)".

 

I have a doll head FS thread and a small doll for trade that say the same thing as Kirahfaye. It doesn't let me bump it.

 

There is a message on the right that says you can click bump once a day.

 

The bump is at the top of your sales thread not at the bottom, there is no reply to sales threads now.

 

Yeah ...... a friend did just tell me that. Thanks!

 

I see now! Thank you, @SteamWitch!

 

not sure I like not being able to post to the sale thread... cuz some ppl use that as a way to do 'short period' price drop stuff... O_o

 

Yeah, I agree, @Lady Tiku.
Then again, there's a lot I don't really like about the new DoA. lol. Ah well..

 

To anyone who hasn't received emails from DoA... Try checking your spam and junk mail folders. I just found 89 emails in my junk mail from the last week and a half lol

 

This confuses me - I know we can still stop watching threads from within the thread, and I'm guessing that's what this is trying to say, but.... hehehe

Watched Threads

To stop watching all threads, choose Stop Watching Threads from the Manage All Threads dropdown menu at the top.

To stop watching some threads, tick the box to slect them and choose Stop Watching Threads from the With Selected dropdown menu at the bottom.
​

 

Thanks, Dezarii .... I hate to be troublesome, but I've looked, but can't find the Manage All Threads menu.

 

OH! I was looking at the top of the page, not the top of the section! Thanks so much!

 

Ya I saw that too .... apparently the new DoA email is not a verified one or something like that.... Can I ask what mail thing you use? I use Outlook and it refuses to let me mark DoA as a safe sender... just keeps putting my mail from them into 'junk'... I even have a folder and a 'rule' to send all future DoA mail to it.... still won't work... any idea's on how to fix this?

 

now if I could just get my Outlook to accept my rules it would be fine but at least I know it's not just me. ^^ ty

 

::Raises hand slowly:: Okay, another question or two! I couldn't find answers in the FAQ section. I am kind of a folder freak so I have my list of folders to redo and move threads into. So, when I tried to correct the name on a folder I made, the system created a new folder and I can't figure out how to delete the duplicate one. Also, I have a folder specifically for sales threads that I'm following - but I don't want them to pop back into my Watched Threads list every time the OP bumps the thread. Is that likely to happen and if so is there a way to stop it? Oh, and one more related question - is there a way to see all of the folders like on the old format? Currently, I'm clicking on Watched Threads, scrolling down and clicking All Watched Threads which brings up the Watched Threads Folders drop down box back at the top of the section and then I can pick which folder I want to see. Is there an easier way to view or create folders?

 

Dezarii, you've been such a help - thanks!

Do you know if some of the Preferences are still not working? I've tried changing my thread and post limits from 20 to 40, but it won't save the changes.

 

new question sorry!!! why cant I put my url/bbcode from flickr into a sales thread for a picture? I have no idea how to do it with a jpg or whatnot.

 

thank you!

 

" Aside from the whole "off-topic" thing,"
so does off-topic mean off topic dolls? if so, sweet B)

 

Searching is proving to be difficult at tomes. Is it possible to add an option to sort threads by most recent post instead of first post date?

 

okay... i finally found 'strikethrough'... but I'm still looking for "underscore" O_o...
