I'm still a one-legged chicken in my avatar and balancing is getting hard.

when we had iTrader we could click on that to check when the last time that member wwas logged on - it was handy. Will we have that option again? And is iTrader going to be visible again?

When clicking the button to show my content there are big gaps of missing posts. For instance I think it had me as posting just twice in both july and aug. Are we going to be missing a lot of this previous content?

I see we no longer have rep buttons replaced with like which does not offer a chance to comment. It also doen't appear we can red rep anymore. Is there a plan to change this?

thx,

Yes, it took me several edits to get my avatar balanced. I think the following will always work, which is to say trick the avatar tool to do the right thing: make your avatar at least 400x400 pixels, make it square, add a one-pixel border of a different color (I used white for a generally blue background). Yes, it's a pain to get it right.

If you click on a user's avatar, it shows "Last seen" and the avatar will show a green head at the bottom if they're logged on currently. That has nothing to do with iTrader, though.

It looks like the closest you can get to red rep is the angry smiley. It is public. You can click on the avatar and "Start conversation" to send a message, but it's not the same as attaching it to rep.

Is there a way to change the number of posts per page? I know that was an option in the old software. I can't find that option on the new, I'm back to only seeing 10 posts per page.

Bly, I added a plugin to help with this. Check your "account details" section when you click your avatar at the top of the screen. Under "account details", click "preferences". On that page, you can choose how many threads you want on each page. It allows 5,10,15 and 20. Let me know if that is not enough.

This is a title for this post.

In VB you could put a title on each post in a thread. Sort of like the above

From what I am reading, there is no place in the data for this system that allows a separate title for individual posts. I don't see an add-on that does it as first glance either.

Thanks I see the Album / Galleries now, but the links must have broken where I used them in posts made in VB.

Any idea on being able to edit past posts so I can fix the Links?

Thanks

I have opened a thread on the XenForo forums about this. It is hard for me to debug this, as I can edit my old posts as an admin.

I'm not as smart as a bob, but...

I use dark mode.

Sometimes when I respond to a post, it does a multi-quote. Why am I doing that?

also, in the menus, the threads display the thread starter and not the most recent poster.
I prefer the latter.
since I know you wondered.

In addition to Bob's comments, I agree that 400x400 pixels is the minimum size.

I set my software to do a 1:1 ratio crop. It can be very large, just so the ratio is correct. The site software will take care of resizing when you edit your Avatar.

If you can't do a 1:1 crop (picture is a rectangle, for example), then you'll need to enlarge the canvas size with some empty space on the length or width in order to get the 1:1 ratio.

If you don't have that sort of software, send the pic to me and I can fix it for you.
 
Is there any way we can get the text box almost the gray color on the sides and the sides a bit darker. I find it very hard on the eyes, I've tried all the themes available and they are either burning my retinas out or dark theme. The shades of grey is just a dark theme.

Let me see if I can put together a child style that does that. I will work on it today.

There is also a button towards the top right of each forum thread listing that looks like this for more direct access:

I'd like a few more especially if there are a lot of stickies on the first page. Maybe 30?
 
In both dark modes the title link is very dim.

You may want to make the breadcrumb links a slightly larger font or a contrasting color. Maybe it’s just me but it just gets lost and I’m always hunting for it because it blends in.

shades of grey has round avatars.

Is there still a limit to the number of PM's? I don't see any indication I'm near the max (and I was right on the edge before the forum switch).
