Desktop view vs dashboard view is more similar to the format we're used to.

From the main page or the discussions page, up above the threads, for example, are tabs. One is called messages. You can send a private message to any member from there.

There is a Mobile Version that is accessible via a link at the very bottom of the page when you are on a mobile device. And when you switch to the Mobile version there will be a button in the lower right corner for Desktop that will take you back to the standard browser view. In the Mobile version, next to that Desktop button there is another button called Dashboard. That is not a new view though - that button takes you to the Dashboard page, which is www.proboards.com/account/forum |

I like that on the main page, below the threads, there are options to view all the latest posts, etc. And it will bring you to a page that gives you all the recent posts from various different threads. Lots of different ways to view the conversations.

This is being discussed in the troll thread, but make sure you check your security settings - the default is lax.
Click on Profile, click on Edit. Choose the privacy tab and set your security to where you want it.

Can we access this board in Taptalk. Sadly, I am not smart enough to figure this out. I use Taptalk for other proboards I follow.

Just an FYI, there's a very nice "Help" tab at the top that might be easier to navigate to find your answers rather than a thread.

I have found that the mobile version, at least on my iPhone, does not all any avatars to be downloaded, pictures post or and font changes. You need to switch to "desktop" on blue bar at bottom of page.

If you want to see the last post in a thread and not the top of the last page, click the time, ie. 2 minutes ago under the persons name all the way to the left. It takes you to the last post of the thread which is the bottom of the last page.

No need to try to sort by most recent post. It appears that's the default. Pinned posts show up first (because, well. They're pinned.) Then, the most recently commented posts are next.

Someone on the old GDT was asking about being able to see whether you're online or not, with the thought that may not be a good thing. You can change that in your privacy settings in your profile, there's a "Invisible" status that makes your online status invisible to all users except certain staff (Hols will always know)

I *love* that if you hover over the title of the thread, you get a preview of the first post.

I have gone into my profile and checked several times that I have "yes" selected for the invisible feature, I have saved it and saved it, but still it shows me as online when I see my avatar.
Anyone else have this issue and solve it?
TIA

Treshchats, my experience with other similar message boards is that you will always see yourself as being online, even if others cannot.

I don't think so. If you look at Monka's profile, it doesn't show her original name anywhere. us-gdt-ex-pats.freeforums.net/user/555(I would delete your last post where you mention your name, though). |

I have a question about the little box that can be checked that is just to the left of the name of the different threads. Why would I check that? What is it for?
Thanks!

That is to select threads that you want to do something to in the Action box at the top right. Threads you want to mark read, for example. |

The Members tab does have a table that displays both 'name' and 'user name,' so you're not completely anonymous if people want to look there. |

I'm just curious. What are the member rank levels and required number of posts?

I'm just curious. What are the member rank levels and required number of posts? I looks like you are marked "invested" at 50, and "committed" at 100. Not sure above those. Haven't see it yet. |
