    Seems like most folks are getting on the new site and logged in with no issues, woohoo! I wanted to start this thread to keep everyone in the loop changes and things to think about. Also feel free to use this to make suggestions for improvements.

    Now, lets talk about your profile!

    The members page is now completely driven off of your profile, which you manage! Need to update your Rigs, do it in your profile (Curtis, Jayme, & Richard, I know you have rigs to add).

    We also now have separate fields for your Forum Name and your name on the Members page. This is another place besides your signature that you can put your name for everyone to see, very handy for folks like me that are horrible with names 😎

    There is also lots of of other fields to fill out, some only available to club memebers like phone number, and others like Ham Call Sign and Location that are visible to all visitors.

    Take a look, fill it out, and let me know if you have any questions!

    Oh, and there is an option at the bottom to close down some of the info that is available to the public if you want to not have it visible. Each field has a description that tells you it's default visibility.

    Is it possible to show the 10 most recently posted to threads on the bottom of the main forum page?

    I will add it to the improvement list Kevin and I have been discussing. You can also click on the Recent Activity button (when there are new items in posts), then Show All, and it will take you to a page with all posts with unread items.

    Ok. I can see unread items, but I'll need to see how it shows the recent posts vs. all or unread.

    We may need to have a conversation to make sure I am understanding, but for now I will lay out what I see for everyone's benefit.

    The "Recent Activity" button shows all Topics that have one or more unread Posts in them. When you click on a Topic from there it takes you to the Topic to see all posts in that topic including the unread ones. When you click on "Show All" in Recent Activity, it shows you the full list of unread Topics that have one or more unread Posts in them.

    If you decide to skip the Recent Activity button and just navigate to Forum, you will notice some of the Forums will have a gold stripe on the left hand edge, this tells you that Forum has Topics in it that have one or more unread Posts in them. If you click in to one of those Forums, you will see all the Topics in the Forum and some of them will have a gold stripe on the left hand edge telling you there are unread Posts in that Topic. It appreas there is no indication once in the Topic, which posts are new, I think we need to add that as an enhancement.

    Is the inability to see what Posts are unread in the Topic what you are getting at?
