I know and I don't like that. The only way I can view yesterdays posts is to do a search-- that I don't like-- I used to see the last 2 days with the NEW POST button.
When looking at the list of forums you'll notice a little orange icon to the right of the forum name. Click that to have your browser or RSS reader subscribe to that forum.
What, Is Eisenhower no longer president???
Since we are on things we don't like--
You can change your default editor in your account settings. Click 'Settings' in the upper right of the forum and look under 'General Settings then under miscellaneous options.
The old software was to vulnerable to hacking so it was time to move on to this new software. As far as the display format, it is simply the new softwares format, I don't think there is an option besides the settings we can play with individually.
It's a shame that someone is so bored in their life that they have to hack an electrical disscussion forum, I would have gone after something like a lawmower site.

It's a bit harder to read on the iPhone now, in spots.
Ah, well, we'll all love it in no time.
We'll be tweaking the style a bit. So darken the light blues and less white?

Well that is not what I was getting at. When I hit "reply with Quote" I get a quick reply box and not the advanced box. I generally want the advanced box because I cannot preview posts or insert smiley's etc, without going there. Not a big deal but ...
I do appreciate what you are doing for us so please do not take any of what I say as negative but rather as suggestions to make the site easier.

Whatever way provides a higher contrast, my older eyes are having trouble with the present colors. (Could be a personal issue
)

Okay, I think I know what is missing. Under the old "Quick Links" there was a button for "Todays Post". Everytime you sign out, which I don't do often the entire new posts button shows nothing, even if I haven't read a thread. I don't read every thread so I think something is amiss.

You are right the "New Posts" button is no longer in the 'quick links' but it is at the top left of the page.

Dennis, if you right click on the "reply with quote" button and click "Open in new window" then you will open a new window with the quote in the advanced post option.

If you sign off and sign back on you don't lose all the posts. Normally my old bookmark did take me to todays post but that is not there so....I get no new messages.
Thanks Chris-- I guess that is the backdoor method..

That would be wonderful for me-- Thank you. I am frustrated losing the posts everytime.
Try these links in the meantime, and bookmark if you like...

Haven't quite figured out how the "go to new post" indicator works yet. In one instance the "has new post" threads titles are few and bold, but when testing the links above from Preview, all thread titles are bold and have the "go to new post" indicator...???

Smart those link don't help-- they take me back to a page that makes me click new posts and nothing is there if I looked at the post. They never disappeared in the previous forum. If I read them the thread title would lose the bold but still be visible. Now it disappears.

I feel like I am the only one having these issues. If I hit new posts the quick link and forum action buttons disappear however they reappear when I reply to a post. :-?
Also when I respond to a post and hit the new post thread I don't see the thread-- I have to hit forums and get the thread thru that.
