Did make me think of one question though, do we still need to censor certain WW2 symbols in pics of our models?

The legal imperative has gone and I'm sure there will be a relaxed rule revision in due course. Ultimately though it will come down to the owner's desires as to what he wants/permits to be displayed on his site.

Any idea as to why my PMs involving different people have been combined into what resembles a single thread?

Captain Blood · « **Reply #77 on:** February 17, 2018, 05:32:27 PM »

It’s just the way they appear now. The forum software is a newer version, and the way some things manifest is not quite the same as it was before. PMs now appear to display in a chain, like a thread, as you say. Not sure if that’s a settings issue that can be changed by the admin, but it doesn’t seem like a problem to me? Just different

It makes it rather tricky to follow a PM thread if they're all intermixed...

Have you tried setting your PM preferences in your account? There is a conversation setting there.

Here's another one - links within posts that reference discussions on the previous incarnation of the Lead Adventure Forum are now broken, e.g. one from this post about a previous Red Dragon junk build:

http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=106290.msg1329223#msg1329223

The previous, and now broken, link was:

http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=65109.0

It ought to work as follows, however:

http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=65109.0

Might I thus suggest a search-and-replace for URLs within posts that used to reference the old domain, replacing them with ones citing the new domain?

Without a fix, cross-references from before the migration will, effectively, be lost, losing some synergy and likely diverting the curious towards making more use of the search functionality.

For info, anybody who was using feedly, or another RSS reader, should change the feed URL to http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?type=rss;action=.xml

I am informed that efforts are underway to resolve this issue. It is hoped that this will make manually changing all the links unnecessary. So you might want to hold off doing so to save yourselves some effort.

Surely a simple search and replace of the code could sort much of those issues out.

Well I've got about a hundred links in my "Links to Colonial Battle Reports" thread. If there's an automatic way to fix all those, I'm damned if I'm going to do it manually. Sod that for a game of soldiers.

Thanks! That did the trick!

However, what happened to my "sent" messages? Aha! Although the PM section and tree view seem to default to the Inbox, the Sent messages folder can be found by clicking on the "Messages" icon.

Plynkes · « **Reply #86 on:** February 17, 2018, 09:38:53 PM »

Above the list of messages there's a tab that says "Messages Actions Preferences." The Messages option has a drop-down menu, one of the options on which is to look at your sent messages.

A bit clunky, compared with the old system, but there we are.

Ah, here you all are!
Nice new place, same nice old decor.
Thanks for the tip about the column button.

Is the list of users viewing a particular board/ thread gone now, or am I just missing it? How ever will be know when there's 1000 spam bots on the Post-Apocalyptic board now?!
