At this stage it is.......

I can log in to the app now but not all threads are available and I'm not sure at this point if the app will be fully workable with the new site as yet. We shall know more with time.

So, please use the site and if you have any trouble or need help with anything, let us know here.

Hey wench, most of us are confused. This software has all the old features plus a bunch more. Some of the old ones may have different names. It's become a learning curve for everyone. So hang in there and ask questions
If we have missed a feature or you wish to recommend one, just let us know.
What impresses me most is the speed and the clean look the forum presents. I like the online/offline icon and the drop down menu when you click or tap your avatar in the upper right corner of the screen.

If you prefer apps instead of browsers, use the Tapatalk app. It works better with the new forum software right now than the iPF app.

Something else that's not working yet: when I post in a thread, I'm not automatically subscribed. That was a very useful feature before the update.

If you go to setting>preferences, you should see this choice

Automatically watch threads that you create or when you reply...

• and receive email notifications of replies

I believe this is the same as subscribing to a thread. You will need to check the boxes and save your changes.

Thank you! I've already enabled this, but don't know if I did it before I posted here first time.

And I'm not sure if it's working yet...lol

Well, then I'll try to find it out.

Update: subscribing to threads doesn't happen automatically. I just posted on a thread where I didn't before, and it doesn't appear in my Subscribed area.
Here are my chosen settings:

I noticed this also Johanna....

It will be implemented in the future, there are a lot of settings at this point that need to be tweaked to get the whole Forum working as we would like it but it will all take some time....so bear with us!

Everything will be noted in this thread that members are having problems with.

Are you getting the Alerts - top right?

Yes, I can see alerts from my subscribed threads in website view.

I hope I don't sound like I'm complaining. I'm very happy about the new features, and the app will certainly work better in a few days than it did before the update. My intention is to help a bit by pointing out what's not working, so that it can be corrected sometime.

There's one thing that I'm missing when reading a thread: it was possible to have the latest post at the top, not at the bottom. From there, it was easier to get to website view. Maybe I missed a setting somewhere, but I can't find anything. It was very useful for me.

Yay, finally I'm able to delete one of my posts in app view! I always had to go to website view until now.

Not at all Johanna.....in fact you're helping by telling us what you are experiencing, then we can address it.

Oh....I just tap the top of the screen and it takes you to the top....although I've noticed a small purple arrow on the right hand side which does it too now! I'll see what I can find....
