Forum Update

Hi Everybody,

If the forum looks a bit different to you today, that's because we just upgraded the forum to a new software. After running on old software for nearly 10 years, it was time to upgrade to enable us to keep the site secure and also allow us to add some nice features.

We will be sharing some guides in the coming days that will help show you the new features of our new software.

In the mean time, if anything seems broken, please report it in this thread.

Thanks!

We're also tweaking things today. A bunch of little details that need to be updated but we'll get it dialed in.

Hope one of them is the "Since My Last Visit" under the "Todays Posts"
Also hope to get the "Welcome" & "anyone" emojies back.

That's now called "unread posts" and is beside "Today's posts"

Emojis will return, yes.

Reload the page, should be fine now. Also we have to tweak the mobile view with the logos. Will probably be a few days to get that right as we test a few different mobile layouts.

I cleared my cookies and it now shows LawnWorld on mobile.

Dec 6, 2019#19

Scrubcadet10

Looks to me only dates are shown in the listing

but not in a thread

Thanks Scrub- I came here to relax.. But I guess I'll be back later.

We can make the date more obvious. How big would you like it?

Are you on a desktop or using a phone or tablet to access?

I am on a desktop
There is no date in the message window so when you are reading down a thread you have no idea if the thread is 10 years old and some one has just tacked a post on the end

Oh yeah we can fix that!

Ditto on putting a time/date stamp on each post.

Dec 7, 2019#27

Also, there used to be an indicator showing if you had posted in a thread. Is there a way of bringing that back or is it there and I'm just not seeing it? Thanks.

Never mind. I found a way.

I don't see any of the moderator buttons that the previous software had. How does a moderator delete spam or combine duplicate posts?

Will look into it, likely a matter of updating the moderator permissions on our end. We're still working on some other things today but I'll check into it.

I like the improvement....Click on a post image and have a close X, rather than use browser back arrow.

Location under user name at the left of a post would be helpful.

Location tags would be nice, we used to have them.
Lots of the forums I haunt show the flag ( state or national ) and they seem to work really well apart from the problem the world has with the NZ & OZ flages.

Yeah we want to set up the user info beside posts. Just figuring out the best option.

Mine shows " LawnWorld" too.
I click on "lawnmowerforum" but comes up LawnWorld. I'm I doing something wrong.?

Dec 12, 2019#37

didn't it always say LawnWorld?

You got me thinking now. I guess you're right. I have it bookmarked as "lawnmowerforum.com.??
Things changed a little and guessing that messed me up.
Things like this happen when I sleep too much..?

It's said LawnWorld for like 4 years.

Maybe we should change it back because we kept the domain name as LawnMowerForum.com.

Okay, LawnMowerForum it is. LMF. Be right back while I update the logo.

Honestly I think I know where I was. I had LawnmowerMower.com bookmarked for many years and just wasn't active or posted till recently.
Awake now guys...
