[A BTW: I didn't remember that the topic titles on What's New? were blue yesterday. They don't have to be red., however, but they can be. Maybe some should be red, some white and some blue?] I'll try a custom smilie

Still wrestling with the PM system. Most of the old ones from the pre-move ers which were missing yesterday have now appeared. But I thought there would be some new ones from yesterday.

Hmm, as with the Concerts 2023 topics: I posted the above post but it doesn't appear in What's New? Am I looking in the wrong place?

Well, I was looking in the wrong place: it's under Latest Activity. So what is What'sNew?

I think 'What'sNew' is new to you; as something you've posted yourself isn't new to you, it isn't included (that's my current theory, anyway).

Anton - this will apply to yours as well - sorry, but I haven't worked out how to multi-quote yet!

It does when I look through the Big Admin (not french frank) view. I'm still hunting for Reply with Quote - which you used. Help

That's how to do it .... rather complicated:

1. Click on 'Quote' in the first post you want to quote. This opens up a reply box at the bottom of the page
2. Click on 'Quote' in all the other posts you want to quote: the 'Quote' labels should turn orange, but the text required to be quoted isn't included in the box at the bottom of the page (yet). To cancel a selection, just click on the 'Quote' label again: the orange highlighting should disappear.
3. Scroll to the top of the page and find the 'Post Reply (n)' button (top left) where 'n' is the number of highlighted quotes.
4. Click on 'Post Reply (n)' and all the quotes will now be included in the reply box at the bottom of the page.

Bottom of post - closing quotes followed by 'Quote'.

Amazing Andrew thank you

Copied from the New board thread:

I note that while new topics appear with the most recent first, comments within threads are in the opposite order, with the most recent to be found at the bottom of the pile. Please could this be changed so that the most recent is at the top? Also, I note that I am not authorised (as yet?) to view who is online at any given moment. Hopefully, these are mere teething troubles.

What you have seen is the forum standard. To change it immediately, and individually for a given thread, click on the 'LATEST ACTIVITY' tab next to the 'POSTS' tab at the top of the thread.

You can select this mode permanently by selecting 'User Settings' by clicking on your user name at the top right of the screen, then selecting the 'USER ACCOUNT' tab and scrolling down to 'Conversation Detail Options', and under 'Display mode' selecting 'Latest Activity'.

Many thanks for the info and solution to the order question.

Will there be a 'New Posts' button as before? Great to see the board re-surfacing!
