smitty10101 Posted April 13, 2019 Report Posted April 13, 2019 @johnmorris Did I miss something, an announcement or such? Formerly when I was signed in my name appeared in the upper left (round about the header/banner of TPW.) Now nothing, no way to identify quickly that I'm signed in. Also when I addressed this post to you (@johnmorris) I got a drop down that gave a partial list of "john" w/o the ability to scroll down & find you.!?!? Did I fall asleep & wake up late to the game? Also the upper right of the banner has changed & when I scroll down to the bottom of the page I don't get a listing of the forums. Confused--as usual. smitty Quote
John Morris Posted April 13, 2019 Report Posted April 13, 2019 Smitty, if you could please shoot us a screen shot of what your seeing as far your missing name, that is indeed perplexing. As far as @johnmorris you won't find anything, but you will with @John Morris. The bottom was eliminated for now due to resource limitations, seem that lower page area where all the forums were listed and recent topics and forum hosts etc, was gobbling up memory, as a result of hiding it for now, the website is much faster while browsing, you may have notices perhaps. Everything is full speed ahead as far as our community, what I am concerned with most is you are not seeing your account at the upper left corner, a screen shot would be great. Thanks @smitty10101!

John Morris Posted April 13, 2019 Report Posted April 13, 2019 @smitty10101, also I addressed one of your concerns at this topic you posted I agree with your observation that the drop down link for Forums was confusing, and I made it just "Forums" with no drop down, I think it's a step in the right direction. The items that were in the "Forums" dropdown are now in the "Browse" drop down along with a few other items such as "Gallery", to consolidate the nav bar for smaller screens as many of our items were ending up in the "More" nav. I don't like the "More" nav. Hope this helps a little. Cal 1 Quote
smitty10101 Posted April 13, 2019 Author Report Posted April 13, 2019 I'll need a little time to get the screen shot to you Wife wants to spend my money smitty John Morris 1 Quote
smitty10101 Posted April 13, 2019 Author Report Posted April 13, 2019 ok John let's see if I can do this!!?? 1st off I'm using Win10 2nd in the above screenshot in the upper left I use to see "smitty10101" showing that I was signed in where "the patriot's pulse" is 3rd on the same banner now shows 7 icons Before I lose this I'll send it to you more to follow smitty Quote
smitty10101 Posted April 13, 2019 Author Report Posted April 13, 2019 (edited) "@John" gives a drop down with 7(?) names & no way to continue down. If you know the name of the member that you sending the message to then you just continue to type---but if you don't then you're screwed (frustrated) On a side note ---on the left there is (for me) members & underneath a plus sign (+) & the # 155-- members reputation. The question is how does one a) either increase that # or b) give a reputation to another member? As you can tell I'm really a genius with computers & software---yeah right. smitty Edited April 13, 2019 by smitty10101 add'l wording John Morris 1 Quote

smitty10101 Posted April 14, 2019 Author Report Posted April 14, 2019 Ok got the suggestions from Stick. As I understood, previously, that the heart was a "like" button---as in I liked the content of that particular message/reply that I was liking. To me the is a huge difference between a reputation & a like---probably a holdover from the business world. Also still don't fully grasp the loss of the acknowledgement of being signed in, only because it avoids trying to do a message and then find out that you need to sign in. BUT--- I do like the fact that you can readily see what forum you're looking at. I'll be exploring the upper right of the toolbar in time. It takes me a while to warm up to change. I'm a great fan of the status quo, especially with software. As I'm typing this there is a small red dot to the lower right of the message window that changes #s and/or pinwheels. When you hover on it you get various options. Is this just me??? b/c it appears to be related to "GRAMMARLY" the spell check that I use. Or did TPW also start using Grammarly? Quote
