In the old APP, I could view only the new posts. How do I do it in the new APP?

 

[Carl n Susan]

Just Click on the "What's New" tab (in the top blue bar) to see all the updated Threads. This replace the previous "Recent Activity" pane which only showed 15 or so updated Threads.

What is the maximum number of lines in the signature. I keep getting an error message saying my signature is one line too long. I’ve tried to delete two lines so far but keep getting the same message.

You’re right about updating the avatar. Old photo is seriously fuzzy.

I hope the new forum fixes two things that used to give me trouble:
1. I used to have to rotate photos to get them to post right side up. It was trial and error and discouraged me from attaching photos. Of course that may have just been me not knowing how to upload photos correctly.
2. I lost many posts because the system would unknowingly log me out while composing a reply. I learned to copy my replies before submitting to guard against this.

I like the new look and feel of the forum. Should not take too long to get comfortable with it.

Four lines are the max. However, each line can be pretty long.

 

[Cbrez]

Thanks. I reduced it to four lines but got the same message. At least I know I’m in the ballpark. I’ll keep playing with it. Thanks again

I uploaded the original digital photo of my truck & rig used for my avatar and it did not change the resolution. What exactly are we supposed to do to improve resolution of the avatar?

3 lines is the max, I think... regarding the fuzzy avatar: Load an updated image if you can. The old software stored those images at reduced file sizes and they now appear as low res images. You can load a much larger image than before

 

[Carl n Susan]

Well I have to stand corrected. I had added a 4rth line to my sig, saved it and then checked and it displayed. I then set it back to my normal 3 lines. After Janet said 3 lines are max, I tried setting a 4th line again. It didn't like it at all. So three lines it is. The good news is they can be long lines.

The first time, you may have to select "Mark Forums Read" so the system knows you have read all previous forums and will know which forums are new to you.

 

[Carl n Susan]

Scott: I use the "What's New" tab after doing a one time Mark All Read. Works far better than the old Recent Threads pane.

Scubado but it was recently changed to Scubado-MOC due to a conflict with a member in another RV Life forum.

That is also me as Scubado in the RV Life forum.

I am Scubado on both this site and the RV Life site. Also same email address.

While I can't do anything, I can see you have two different email address (Gmail & Yahoo) and you also belong to the Forest River Forum.

3 lines max and upload new avatar file. Thanks site team.

Is this normal? I went over to the Keystone RV Forum to see what was happening there, Both my Conversation and Alert icons, on the blue bar next to my screen name, had red numbers. Clicking them I see conversations and Alerts from the MOC. Nothing to do with the Keystone forum.

Shouldn't I expect to get those Conversation and Alert notifications only on the MOC and not on any other RV Life forum?

No - the inbox is shared. You will see all messages and alerts in one location. They are labeled to reflect where they originated. You can respond to them from any location.

Unfortunately, another person has an active Screen Name of scubado in another RV Life Forum. This leaves you with two options.
1. Just live with the current "-MOC" suffix on your Screen Name
*OR*
2. Change to a new Screen Name. You can do this yourself by Clicking on the "Account Details" option listed under "Quick Links" the right hand pane of the home page.

Janet,
I was informed that my profile name changed.
It is showing GregN-MOC.
The old one was GregN. Can this be changed back?
If not, I am okay with the new one.
My account is an AOL email.
