New forum not as active?

I also have been posting less lately. Because of the new look (with al those signatures and avatars) I can't use the forum at work (it's too conspicuous). I used to turn all the badges, signatures, etc. off so I could use the forum at work but that option is gone!

So did I. You still can... go to the 'Update Profile' link and turn off signatures. That should do it!

I did warn everybody that I'm computer illiterate. Thanks for the info.

I've noticed it too. I've tried to post more here to try and garner a little extra activity, but if people aren't visiting or are having too much trouble, it won't make a difference. I really miss the "Watch This Topic" checkmark. There are several threads I've wanted to foollow to see what info gets posted, or to bea ble to find them to respond to, but there's no way to do it any more. Sure, I can check the "notify me when someone replies to my post", but If I don't post anything, I'll never be able to follow that Thread! The "Watch This Topic" Option was one of the best features of the old Forums in my opinion. I also feel the same as others about not seeing the whole Thread when posting a reply, and not being able to tell when a new post has been posted somewhere.

It's still there, only under a new name. At the top of the posts are 4 buttons, the last is Notify. Click it and an arrow appears. Now you will get an email for every post. You can also choose "my forums" which will list all threads you've posted in.

Is it my imagination, or is the new forum not as active as the old one? Perhaps it seems slower since this is a holiday weekend or that not everyone has re-activated their acounts.

Just doesn't seem to be as many new posts.

Sorry Rob... I HAD to quote this one, lol...

i think we all have gotten used to the new look  ( though i wish they could gett rid of the green thing)

 

anyway  with the exception of 2-3 group builds  that hsve a ton of activity   the rest of the forum seems quieter

The Ships forum has slowed down markedly, in my opinion.
