Hey Ed I love the new layout of the board, just one question. I use to get emails on posts of topics and updates to topics I am following but since the update started I have not received any. Are the email notifications coming back or did they do away with them in update?

Check the "My Settings" on the drop down next to your user name at the top right of the page, and make sure the box to receive emails is checked. This seems to have resolved it for others.

OK, after over a week of code scrounging, I have finally fixed the errors that were plaguing the databases, and they are now fully operational once again. Invision Power Services, whom I pay a lot of money to for support of the software used on this site was of no help, and actually charged my credit card for the support service for the database module that they provided no support for. Needless to say, there is now a larceny complaint on file with their local sheriff.

Please use the database link at the top of the site to use this feature. Hopefully, we'll get more people contributing.

Maybe the Support Service reps are ex-Microsoft Support Techs, based on personal experience. lol

Is this why I was only getting a few email notifications of new posts and replies and now for the past 2 days nothing at all? Thanks. And make sure you do pursue the legal matter against that firm.

Try the suggestion that Ed gave me it works.

My fault, I didn't make the skin sets available to everyone. You should have two dark and one light choice available now.

Maybe I'm just missing it, but how do we add a photo to a post? The old board had a button at the bottom. Now I see a My media which shows photos I posted in the past, but I'm not seeing a way to add new photos. The other option is image but that wants a link to a photo hosting site.

Thanks

Nevermind, I found it. Using the more reply options button opens a full size window and includes the old style button I needed.
