We've just successfully completed a major upgrade to the underpinnings of The Fedora Lounge. Rather like jacking up the joint, and digging out a whole new foundation with steel girders, then plopping it back down on the new, more solid foundation with a fresh coat of paint. We've also installed new locks on the doors and windows and made the place tighter, more secure and with just about all the cracks for vermin closed up and sealed off.
You'll also be glad to know that we've had fresh deliveries and the bar is restocked. Why do you think we had to dig out a bigger cellar???
So what else is new, besides painfully dorky analogies?
Plenty!
Your Settings and Profile setups are now separate animals, which you can access at upper right by the login bits. It's a simpler job to change things, I find.
Under Profile, you can see yours. Also send PM's, see how many people (but not specifically who) has been looking at your profile, Set up and join Groups (I'll add more about this stuff as we figure it out), etc. Since The Fedora Lounge is a very social place, there will be more opportunities to create social and friend networks. We'll also soon have a link for marrying what you do here to your Facebook profile, if you like.
In Settings, You add your image icon, control your password, set your privacy settings (you can control who can see what), set your signature line, etc.
Note that in your Private Messages, you can now sort them into subfolders that you create.
In the forums:
It has been said often, but bears repeating, loudly. IF YOU AREN'T CLICKING THE "NEW POSTS" LINK AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE EVERY TIME YOU COME HERE, YOU ARE MISSING A LOT OF OUR CONTENT.
There are new boxes on the main page showing recent thread and posting activity. Nifty!
When replying to a thread, you can now easily quote multiple posts. Just click the little quotation mark icon at the lower right of all the posts you want to quote, then click "reply with quotes" in any of them. Add your stuff in the Quick Reply box at the bottom of the page and you're all set.
We're still learning the new dials, just as you are, and we'll be adding more here as we do. Please be patient as we get things sorted, tweak the layout and "look" a bit, de-clutter, etc. We're going to add the much-requested mobile version very soon.
If you have a specific question, please don't hesitate to PM a Bartender.
Please post your issues, praise, gripes, etc in the OB thread here.
