Maybe I'm missing it, but is there some way to see threads you've posted in? Sort of like the little green circle thing on the old forum.

Has the tapatalk function been updated? My Evo still won't load it.

 

[MasterBates]

Neither will mine. Just tried.

Oh he's around... I bumped into him a few months back. Caught him lying about an old Ford tractor he supposedly just had restored. Trouble was I found the same pictures he'd posted about his restoration project on another person’s website dated way before his (supposedly) ‘just taken’ photos.

I’ve found another interesting fellow though. He claims AO, EOD, BUD’s, Blackwater and a few other interesting things. I don’t want to post his name here he might Google someday for some reason, come here to AW and find this post. I’d like to follow this fellow though. Want to help me ‘out him’ to the POW network? Should be fun!

He's been up there for some time and that led to big showdown involving his family and threats, etc. Stuff is still there under Barner. Check it out...be prepared to devote a lot of time reading the snapshots of web posts and his retorts.

Not sure if it just changed, or I just noticed, but your avatar appears next to the thread title if you've posted in it.

Anyone know how to delete "conversations" (the new word for PMs, apparently...thank you Google)? I don't see anything to check or select both in and out of the conversation.

I think the "Leave Conversation" link in the upper right hand corner of the conversation does the equivalent.

 

[Gatordev]

Hmm, okay. I guess you hope that no one sends you any more PMs on the subject you've left.

Hmm, okay. I guess you hope that no one sends you any more PMs on the subject you've left.

Once you click that link it gives you two options, one to permanently delete, one to just take it off your conversation list.

Interesting! Do you still have the link info? (I lost it.) I sure would like to go there and read all the stuff. PM or email might be better.

Thanks,

Steve

BTW... want to help a few of us with this new guy? I'll PM you a link.

Is there a way to increase the number of posts in a thread you see per page? Under the old system I know you could display 25, 50, etc.

Updated to 25.

Day 1 of the new website software did not get off to a good start. Suffice it to say that I ran too many database queries simultaneously, and succeeded in crashing the mysql (database) server on the hosting machine that the website uses. This is not reflective of the new software, just that I was trying to execute too many queries on LARGE databases simultaneously. My bad.

I had to roll back 8 hours to a previous database backup, should not really impact anybody at all.

Since the previous post is no longer on the website, I will reiterate what I have been up to....

I installed a brand new forum, utilizing the software called XENFORO, replacing the old vBulletin software. I have evaluated this new software over the last 5 months on a test server, and transitioned the website this weekend. There are of course many cosmetic and feature changes that will come with this new software. For those that were unaware, I have had significant difficulties keeping the vBulletin software running, and have grown tired of their numerous updates and buggy software that has forced me to look for a new solution. Hence the shift to the new forum software called XENFORO. This is a start up company with the original team that helped create the very successful vBulletin 3.0 series, and is now running their own company and putting out a pretty amazing alternative.

NOTE: during the transition, ANYONE with multiple accounts utilizing the same email, your accounts were merged to the first created instance (username) that you registered with. I will gladly reset passwords, and rename your usernames to what you desire. PM me on the website, or send me an email at admin@airwarriors.com.

Enjoy the new forum, and Happy Independence Day!

John

Probably just me... but what does 'follow' and 'following' denote in the friends area of your profile? (Never used to be that way.)

If you want to "follow" their posts, select that option. Once you do, then you are "following" them. Some Forums use term "watch" as in watching threads and you can then can alerts when something is posted or in case of "following" a user, you are alerted when they post.
