Just a test Mike. Yes this is much better than the new Backpacker.

I wonder how long it will take for me to reach the 1310 posts I had on BP.

Header looks better now. BTW, I think you can turn off email replies in your profile.

Mike,
Two things. If you can, could you change the header on the browser window so that it says Midatlantichikes - Right now it says Home or General or some other Generic title that isn't Helpful. Also, you might want to change your handle to MRHyker so people recognize you if you can and want to.

Shhh .... I'm going to log on with a MRHyker account. I'll look into the other thing.

Would you prefer that I take this conversation off-line and switch to email?

Also, you might want to change your handle to MRHyker so people recognize you if you can and want to. Right now as I am in this thread my browser window says "http://midatlantichikes.freeforums.net/post/11/quote/4. The text on the tab changes with where you are in the forum. If you are on the home page it says "home". Can't change that.

Can this forum do a "new posts" view like WhiteBlaze has? I tend to check that, vs. the stovepipes of the individual sub-forums.
I also spread this link on a couple of Facebook groups - the backpacker.com group (spreading like wildfire, for the same reason as this forum's creation, but for those who use the blue empire), and the "Hiking and Backpacking Pennsylvania" group where midatlantichikes.com links are shared with admiration

New Posts should show up in the upper right hand corner of the Home page as "NEW" Participated.

Might as well do a test post now that I've made it over here. Try more later.

Forwarding a comment from one of the Facebook groups:
"The only potential problem that I see is that it's one of those free forum mills. I run a gaming forums and until you buy your own space and domain name, you can't really grow, and there's usually a lot of problems since they over sell the server.
However, it's a start. If it grows, he can always move it later. But, we'd likely lose any content up to that point."

New Posts should show up in the upper right hand corner of the Home page as "NEW" Participated. I tried that button. It seems only to bring up threads with new posts, where I already posted to the thread. Not all the new posts.

Recent Posts are in the Stats section at the bottom of the Home page. Is that what you're looking for?
I can buy more space if needed with a click of a button w/o losing anything. I wanted to see how this thing grows first. Twenty-five members in five days is pretty good if you ask me.

The "recent threads" view linked next to that one would be it. I guess that link is just more prominent on other forums.
Yes it is a good start. That's probably already better than keystonehiker.com had, back when it was forums and not just Scott's data parking lot.

Sorry, but there is nothing I can do to fix it. That area is un-editable. I can display or hide it. Can't change or move anything.

Hey Guys! I like the looks of the new tree house you have here. Thanks for setting this up MRHyker. A lot less painful to look at.

Time for a formatting test. Will ignore font type, size, and color. This should be in bold by button, and this done manually. A word in italics, along with a second word. Underline a sentence, plus another sentence. Supercripts and subscripts H 217O. 13C. D 2. Skip justification. Tables also for now. - Unnumbered list
- second item
- Last item
- ordered list
- 2nd item has the number 2
- but not the third
- should be 4th and final
Can I make a set of lines and convert to a list? - Maybe
No Yes - List item 2
- List item 3
Not exactly, best to do it with the button. Lets put a line in.
Try a link to another thread, highlighting the word and hitting the button. A second strictly by button. A third tried manually, as it seems to just change between brackets and carrots. Not going to insert emails; photos I'll test later. Not sure exactly what code is. Will have to see. insert code here, what will result? Let's see what vdeal said by quote: Loses formatting. No biggie. Not even going to think about testing or using emoticons. May test attachments later.

Aegis,
Looks like you have gotten sown all of the bells and whistles.
