one problem with the new site
The only problem I'm having with this new format is I can't tell which threads that I have read? Am I missing something? Frank

Re: one problem with the new site
Refresh your browser. Click F5 is commonly used for many, or click the appropriate icon in the menu bar, or maybe click Reload in the view menu.

Re: one problem with the new site
If you get into the habit of refreshing your page rather than using the back button you will notice that the threads that you have viewed are now not dis-played in Bold type. If a new message is added when you refresh it will once again be displayed in Bold. You just have to remember to refresh to get this feature to work.

Re: one problem with the new site
It's already here. In the red banner at the top, is a blue box and next to it, it says "View first unread". Click on that and it takes to the first post you haven't read. It's also on the main forum list at the head of each topic.

Here is how you Subscribe to any Thread you want to keep track of. In the red color band at the top of the Tread you are reading, click on "Thread Tools" a menu drops down, Ciick on "Subscribe to this Tread" and then Click on "No Email Notification" and then Click on "Instant Email Notification" Then Click on "Add Subscription" You will now be emailed instantly when there is a New Post added to that Thread, and Now, a small blue box with a check mark in it (only visable to you, and No-One else), will appear next to the Tread you Subscribed to. This blue box with the check mark in it will be seen, (Just by you), so you can see which Threads you have subscribed to, by seeing this blue box. You can "Un-Subscribe" anytime you no longer want to watch the Tread. This works really good when whatching yours or other peoples "wanted" or "for sale" ad's.

Re: one problem with the new site
I don't like the new "Barn" format either. I find I am visiting here less and less. Few interesting questions seem to point to others backing out too. New and improved is not always better. Enjoy, for those who like it.

Re: one problem with the new site
In the old barn we had to scroll down and look for additional posts on old threads. Now, everytime somebody adds a post to an old thread, it pops to the top of page one. If somebody has posted on an old thread and you want to jump to the first new post in the thread, click on the blue box with a white down arrow and you are there. Shorter threads don't have the blue box. As others have said, refresh your screen and any threads that have been updated will be at the top.
We're memorizing the first page because we're not doing much posting. The Model A guys are buzzing and I always thought the Early V8ers smoked the A guys on the old barn. No disrespect to the Model A guys (I've had half a dozen), just promoting a little friendly competition. I know we can catch them! We'll get there. We just have to get used to how things roll. Also, if you do scroll down one page or many and find a thread of interest, POST something on it and it'll jump right back to top of page one when you hit refresh. Hope this helps. My buddy started his 1932 5W with a flathead the FIRST TIME today!! The car had set since 1954 until he managed to get it in 1996. Hang in fellows, this new barn will keep us out of the cold. Al |

Click on the tab that says "Contact" If the person is allowing email contact there will be a link listed AND/OR there will be a link to send that person a message via PM.
