Hi all.
Hi Eric.
Happy Holiday season.1. avatars do not wish to update. Sort of. I changed avatar yesterday and it does show in profile and when I log into the forum, but the previous one still shows in posts. I am actually not sure, if it makes sense in edit avatar section of user control panel, to have “keep current” and “use default” buttons only? No “change” or “add” new avatar? Which one is default?
2. Is it paramount to have every post defaulted to subscription mode? Yes, I am well aware that many forums of various nature automatically subscribe you to any post – but I feel, giving poster an option of making a choice, subscribe or not, is better, than automatically subscribing to any post posted? Or, this maybe changed in settings, which I am not aware how to even get to. In some forums, things of this nature can be adjusted by user in “settings”. Yes, I am aware of “uncheck the box” suggestion, but I’m only human and forgetful.
While I’m here. Being 60 yo and not the best vision, it is VERY hard to read grey (or whatever it is. Light orange?) colored tabs on yellow background. If you go to “edit” section in profile, all tabs like “subscriptions”, “posts” etc, perfectly blend with background. Surprisingly to your dev, Eric, BLACK print on WHITE background historically works the best. Have web designer in the family, I do know.

You may want to try our support.
The avatar functions have 3 options and below are what each one does.
Keep Current Avatar – keep whatever you have for an avatar right now
Use Default Avatar – whatever your default avatar is not the last one but the original one that you had when signing up for the site.
Upload New Avatar – Upload and use a new avatar for your profile.There is a forum update coming out soon and well see what can be done. as for the automatic subscriptions, there were a lot of people who wanted it and much fewer that did not want it. And you know who won. You will just have to remember the check mark. This is a standard feature on most forums out there.
Thank you.
Avatar finally changed itself.I get it on subscriptions. It’s democracy in action. Suggestion will be, set it up so that member makes decision – does he want to be defaulted to automatic subscription – or not. Solved. Just as many forums out there have auto sub, same many have option to choose. I happen to be in many, he-he.
As of the background color…. Glad YOU can read this. I can’t. grey on grey with lighter shade of grey as letters?:

Will go undo check box next..
Unchecked the box. :woohoo:
I’ll tell you a joke.
There was a novice accepted to a monastery. As part of his initiation, he had to take a vow of silence for 3 years and is allowed to write only one word a year.
1st year passes, and he is brought in front of abbot, handed chalk and black board. He chalks “food” on the board.
Year 2, he’s going through the same thing, and chalks “is”.
Year 3, same situation. He chalks “terrible”.
Abbot looks at him in deep disgust, and says – What’s wrong with you? You’ve been here for 3 years and all you do is complaining.So not to be that novice. I love this forum. It’s one of the most dynamic, useful, alive automotive forums I am in. Honestly, likely “the most” all that.
It’s just that as I get old, sight is not getting better, and TIME is of assence. As it can never be recovered. So pardon me my rant, I only want to see what’s on the screen and have things function efficient way. Just an old fart rant. banana:I changed the background on the buttons on the profile page. You will need to clear your cache in order to remove the old background and load the new one. Its a green background with white lettering. Hopefully this will make it waaay easier to read for you. :cheer:
I just noticed it. :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: Thank you very much, it is very pleasant and useful change. Much, much easier to see dem buttons.
Very appreciated. Glad forum listens.
Thank you
