Give a big cheer for new forums!

Wayyyyyy to go! This is great, thank you, thank you, thank you! I have been able to go through and find all the posts I had missed, which turned out to be far more than I had thought.

I started a new thread in the Report a Bug forum.  If you have any problems  or questions with the Forum changes, please let us know there.

It looks great! Much appreciated.

One question..........if I go to the main forum page and look in ''my groups'', I see the backstrap group with ''unread posts'' (2).

What do I do with this information? I can't click on it and be taken to those posts. How do I find out what these two unread posts are?

EDIT.........Okay, all my queries have been graciously answered by Kay and Marian so I am all sorted out now!

Thank you!

Hello everyone -

Please see this topic if you have questions on the new implementation.

Thanks,

We'll see how it goes.

There will be bumps on the way to full transition of the new system, but I'm sure it will be an improvement.

Thank you for making the changes.

Have a good day!

I'd love to have the front forum page customizable.  This new version is four to five times as long on my screen and takes much longer to find what hasn't been read.  A cover page which only shows new items since last access and allows you to remove main forums that are not of interest would be more useful than having to wade through all the extraneous descriptors and inactive or read material.  In the meantime I guess I'll not access as often.

Lkautio -

You will probably laugh at me, but when I first saw the changes and started working with the new forum, I too had a similar reaction.  But now that I've been using it for a while (on the test side), I actually really like it!

Certainly I'm always thinking of even more improvements, but I think the overall usability has improved significantly.  So give it a try for about a week, and then let us know what you think.

Thanks,
Kay

That's a very good idea, but I immediately start thinking about how to do it and what makes sense.  For example, is it the page you get when you click on the Forums tab, or is there a separate way to get there?  What happens if you have never been to the Forums before?  What really should be on a summary like that?

I think it's a great idea, now I just need to start thinking about what it would look like and how you would get there.

 To me if we could separate Weavolution Forums and My Forums into two tabs that would make it easier specific subjects I am interested in and then I could always click on the Weavolution Forums tab to see what admin/general stuff is out there.  Perhaps move the People tab to "resources.  After all we are all resources to each other!

I love the new look and structure.  Great job!! Thanks for all your effort.

I'm loving the new look and functionality! Thanks for the upgrade! :)

Hooray! I don't have the mysterious 33 unread threads in the backstrap forum anymore and the red envelopes have gone too. It all seems to be settling down nicely. :-)

Thanks for all the work on this  Marian, Sharon, Tina  and Kay-- you guys amaze me..

 Thanks so much for all that you do to make a community for us!

I am overwhelmed with all the comments and expressions of thanks.

Weavolution is a community and certainly meets the dictionary definition of such:
a feeling of fellowship with others, as a result of sharing common attitudes, interests, and goals

My thanks to everyone here and all the volunteers in the background who have made this possible AND continue to help it grow and flourish. It makes it easy to come to work every day and to want to improve Weavolution for everyone here.

Thanks to you,

Claudia

 You are the GREATEST!  Again THANK YOU!  You done good!!!

Yes!

And Weavolution is so neat and tidy to find one's way around compared to other web-sites. Great work!!!
