Welcome Back!

Love it all. Thanks for telling us how to use multi-view. That fixed my biggest issue.

I must have missed it...I'm still figuring out how to set it up.

Here you go, this is how to use MultiView.

How To Do This

I mentioned in another thread that Tapatalk is showing 70+ threads as "subscribed" and presumably new/updated and now I see why. My "Watched threads" is showing what looks like the same thing (I didn't count them). It's showing threads from days or weeks ago as updated.

I see a "Mark forum as read" option but no "Mark threads as read" - or am I missing it ?

Was wondering about the PIT member tag. I don't care, as you see my name pop up there from time to time, but I think you 'outed' more than a few lurkers by showing that tag

Lol, I was thinking the exact same thing.

A few of us in the video games forum noticed that the site is now converting amazon links into ads that show the product and pricing. Does Satelliteguys make extra money from doing this? I think these Amazon ads might be some of the few ads that people actually click on. I know that I click on links in the Video Game Deals thread almost daily and have actually bought several games in the past after following Amazon links from satellite guys. If you get extra money for people buying things from ads they clicked on you might actually see some success there even though it's not the most viewed part of this website.

If you want to see what I'm talking about look at this post.

Hmm interesting... I have not set up something like that, but it could be something that Viglink is doing. (Viglink is the company we use to monetize the links)

I like the new yellow banner showing "Pub Member / Supporter"...stands out nicely.

That ain't yellow silly!!It's gold!

BTW you guys are welcome to check out some of the premade styles at http://xenforo.com/community/resources/categories/styles.29/. Let me know if you see any you like.

Don't know if I will buy any... some are very expensive... but it will give me ideas.

Apex by pixelexit looks good. $25

There are also a couple by razor themes such as xenfracture but geesh $39

Flexile dark appears to be free or donation

Notice I prefer black and blue.

Is there a code list, say for spoilers, hyperlinks, etc. ? Since I´m no expert on that I used to refer to one in the old software, but now that´s not available.

Hmmm. Looks like a lemon to me

It looks yellow on my monitor too, but it is good. It is "highlighted".

 

[dare2be]

See the color in my avatar? THAT'S gold.

The Pub banner is yellow.

I screenshot my browser at work that hadn't been refreshed to the new site yet. I have a reference point for the old SatelliteGuys Black style for future reference.

 

[Teehar]

lol I was being facetious about the color!

Is there a link to mark threads as read ?

 

[raoul5788]

At the top of each forum page is a link on the left marked "mark forums read".

 

[dare2be]

One thing I do miss in the new software is the ability to see online status for each user in a thread.
