Profile now only provides a 140 character "status update" to say anything about ourselves, our interests...qualifications. Mine won't fit in a Tweet!
And I either need a shorter username, or mine needs a slightly smaller font...or maybe break it up to put my first and last name on the first line, title on the second?.

I jumped on the forum early Sunday but with the issues I went dark for a day to let the issues be worked out. Then marked the 5,000 plus "New Posts" as "Read". Now it replaces the All Discussions button just fine.
I really like the balloon preview for threads.

Playing around tonight everything looks pretty good. Nice job!

Amen to "all discussions". Why was that eliminated?

 

[Leeward Rail]

Phil and team.. keep up the good work. I know how much effort a migration like this takes. Some bugs but it all takes time.
So far I like it.

FWIW: The new "New Posts" function is great. I can't see myself using the "All discussions" function anymore

The status update is only something you'd add to your profile... "on vacation," "sold my boat.", something like that. You're looking for the signature field, but I'll be damned if I can find it. Someone who has edited their signature, feel free to chime in.

Statistically, few people used it and it's a pain the behind to set up in this software. But it's clear now that was bad judgement, so it will be back as soon as we can figure out how to do it.

how long am I going to have to log in every night, it used to remember me day to day.

How's that. Did a little edit and removed the hyphon.

Just click the little "Remember me" box next to the submit button. That should do it.

Okay, no more questions until the Seahawks game is done.

Sorry.. the sea whats ? I've heard of birds playing games, by pooping on the deck and damaging anemometers. What game are we referring to ? Maybe you need to get some bird deterrents on the masthead

Ditto. After I cleared the 5,000 new posts the New Posts functions like all discussions except it you can't go back and easily find posts you already read. That is what I think I will miss without the All Discussions option.
Thanks Phil for working on it.

Now we know why Phil chose Sat to update. Had to plan on finishing the bug fixes by MNFB.

Nope, not looking for signature field...I had no trouble finding that. What's missing is the space where we could say a weeee bit more about ourselves than just what'll fit on the head of a twit.

Much better...Thank you!

A lot like the windows 10 upgrade.....but I'd bet real money that ALL the bugs in here will be fixed a long time before MS has fixed half of theirs.

For bigger stuff there is the "About Me" section at the bottom of the "Personal Details" page.

I tested it and put over 6,000 characters in.

 

[Peggie Hall HeadMistress]

Aha! The Personal Details page is what I couldn't find, and prob'ly never would have if you hadn't pointed me to it. Thank you!
My bio is back up, my username makes sense again, and all is right with my world again. Woohoo!

Phil - is there an RSS feed available for new posts?
