 ............ I've gotten more into 3d modelling.  It's a steep learning curve, but the models don't take up valuable living space, and I've yet to accidently drop one.  Wink

Thank You very much Aaron. I knew you folks would start getting some fixes done. I test drove the search function and it seems to be just fine. I know that you all are doing the best you can and I know that in short order you'll have evrything ship shape again. Thank you for your attention to the issues brought up by the members.

FSM Team, thanks a lot!

Now my next request would be to add the former "Your Discussions" functionality, leaving the one we now have as an option. Thanks in advance and have a nice day

I'm actually double-checking as we speak, Bish.

....stand by

But I definitely see threads I did not start.

Perhaps I jumped the gun a little. Embarrassed

Before I could only see threads I started, now can see threads I didn't start but participated in as it used to be. But there are a lot of duplicates. Perhaps it is being working on as we speak.

In hindsight I wish I'd have kept quiet and let Aaron announce when it is fixed. I just got all excited....... Sorry!!

Obviously you guys beat me to the punch, but "Your Discussions" should be showing both the threads you've started and the ones you've participated in. That takes care of two of the major problems. Let me know how everything is working and we'll move forward from there.

Cheers, Aaron

No joy on the "your discussions" including threads of other people's. I just checked after reading your post... Hoping the IT folks get that next ASAP.

I wondered the same thing. Smile

But seriously, it is and has been working for me since my initial post above. To confirm, I am seeing threads I didn't start but participated in and threads I started. I'm using Firefox 40.0.3 , Win7Pro.

But FYI, I am getting duplicates. For example, this thread is listed 4 times.

In any case, great progress!

Well I do hope that they can get the fix all across the spectrum. My iphone is still showing only threads I started. I won't be home to check my desktop or laptop for another 8 hours or so...

Fixing the spell check in the reply and IM reply’s would be nice.

Aaron: Although unrelated to this forum, I was wondering if all these changes will be reflected in the Scale Auto Forum. It has all the same issues. While I'm on that subject is there any way to have those guys lighten up over there to allow folks to at least have a custom avatar? It's the only forum that doesn't allow that.

Hello!

I'd suggest modifying the current content of "Your discussions" to include the info on WHO posted the last reply and a link to that last reply - I think that is a helpful and often used option. I also wish for a kind of switch, to let you switch between the post you participaded in, and only the posts you started. Thanks for reading and have a nice day

Phil,

I'm not sire why it's doing that for you. It is working fine for me showing my most recent posts in this thread. You my try emptying your cache and clearing your history to see if that helps. Let me know if it continues to be a problem.

Cheers, Aaron
