Forum Update - We're back! Ask your questions here.

[CyrilVladisla]

In Your account of my account, I have removed all the checkmarks in PREFERENCES that indicated I get emails sent.
Does this mean I will not get any emails of a TRF nature?
I ask because several years ago an incident occurred where emails that said they were coming from TRF were not actually coming from TRF.

I am still getting an email from TRF.
I have unchecked all checkmarks so I do not receive any emails.
Why am I getting an email?

I have just received another TRF email.
How does one quit receiving emails from TRF?

I am getting emails from TRF when I have previously removed all such requests from Account Preferences. What is going on?

 

[tommy100]

Just discovered all members are now ranked by how many "reactions" they have to their posts and the number of "messages" they have. Not sure that sits comfortably with me tbh.

 

[Michiru-Kaiou]

Did you uncheck "Receive news and update emails" under Account details (not just preferences), as well?

best wishes Michiru

 

[Marengo]

I have disabled the email function which you will received automatically if you have selected some threads as ´watched´. Other than that I see nothing in the system that indicates that you will receive messages.

If this continues please contact me and send me some copies of the emails. That way we know what we are dealing with.

Love the new look, but how do I block threads I am not interested in? I could do so on the old forum

I have the same question; has this been answered?

I did get a reply and the answer was not at this time.

How long is a post editable?
I wanted to update a post I added 1-2 hours ago but do not see an Edit option.

Posts are editable for 60 minutes.

Everything looks great. Thank you TRF Team!

Why the Twitter template is not appearing?

Twitter is garbage. I'd like to see The Royal Forums link up to other social media sites like Bluesky and Mastodon.

I meant to post earlier but I just wanted to say I really like the new site. Well done!

 

[Kaye1850]

I agree the new RF is very good, although I’m a bit confused as to the difference between “What’s New” and “New Posts?”

 

[maria-olivia]

I preferred the previous Royal Forums. I am reading a thread , I want to read again but no thread ?
Less posters than before ?

Me too! Other than that, the new look is great and it's much easier on the eyes. Well-done to all involved in the redesign and upgrade.

The threads are still all there. But you mean perhaps that a thread that you have already read will disappear from the 'what's new' / 'new posts' threads? It is an issue that we have raised with the technical people. We hope they soon have a response. The same goes for the question about the difference between the two.

As for the amount of members online: the old system had a different way of counting. People were shown as 'online' for some time even when they were not actively participating any more. the total amount of participation has actually increased quite a bit since the change.

Haven't been here for a while and was so surprised, glad it happened last week so I did not miss a long decade.
Takes time to adapt, but it does not only appear fresh
but is much easier to read now.
THANK YOU esp. for the increased smileys

How does one switch to the print view on the new platform?

By participation, do you mean posting or being logged in?

Open the thread and look for this:



Set up the pagination you desire and then right-click to find a print option (this is a browser function) Most browsers will offer you options to print, print to pdf (and save), etc.

Quick question, not sure if this was asked before, is it possible to have a draft in a thread that cant be deleted? It seems that I quoted a post and left and now the draft is still there, not sure if anyone can see it. I cant delete it either and I dont remember what I wanted to write Thanks!

 

[Somebody]

For me it works to just use backspace and remove the full quote in that way. If there is no text left, the quote box will disappear as well.

 

[Duke of Marmalade]

Thanks it did work!

 

[Picmajik]

This is my first time logging on in months (work!) but I am happy with the updates so far. The only thing is I can't change my email address. The one currently on the account is no longer accessible and it won't let me update it to either of my gmail addresses (support email sent but I won't see the reply unless it goes to the new address). Ideas? My user name and password did work for login.

Thank you as I have had this same issue!

Thank you. This solution works well when I am logged in, but is there a method to access the print view while logged out, as in the previous version?

What happened with the CBC links? They doesn't appears!
Example:

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/new-brunswick/arthur-irving-death-1.7202701

 

[iceflower]

For me the link given still works. But whatever problem that may be, it doesn't have anything to do with the forums, but must be a problem of the cbc-links themselves.

 

[Lori138]

Is there any way yet to block threads that we are not interested in?

 

[Somebody]

You cannot 'block' them but you can 'ignore' them (see button on top) - which will have about the same effect...

 

[Lori138]

Thank you so much!
