@kentt Sorry for the delay, I’ll take a look and see if I can find out what’s causing the post-delay problem for you.

I doubt it’s your tablet. the editor must have gotten stuck in some funky mode. I removed the funny stuff…. well, if you made a joke, I didn’t remove that 🙂

@philipgregory Good point. I’ll have to look at (a) why search doesn’t show up there and (2) if we can narrow the search to the forum you are looking at.

Don’t use the search icon at the top of the page. Go into the forums (choose forums from the menu) and you should see a search box with a “search” button. Use that one to search the forums.
The search icon in the menu searches the “site” but somehow not the forums.

Oh, almost forgot, there are some additional ‘profile fields’ presented when registering that you can fill in at anytime in your profile. They are on the screenshot above.
Location –> City, State, etc.
TD Replica –> they type(s) of replicas you have

Good news, at least from the administrative side of the site, it looks like the new registration form is really cutting down on spammers! This will free up more of my available time to work on other site changes.
Thanks also to @rosebud-and-bill for reporting one spammer we missed that got in before the new form was in place. Anyone can report a…[Read more]

The ‘Libray’ menu item now has a dropdown for the sections of the Library page (Manuals, References, and Technical Articles). I’ve also copied over the first two Technical Articles and am working out how to import the remainder and build a system where we can easily add more.
As usual, I’ll update with progress as it goes.

Now I’ve got some evening reading 🙂

Yes, it was quick and dirty and I had it done before breakfast.
I also added some fields to the registration form to deter spammers. Based on the short period of time it’s been there it seems to be doing the trick. You can take a look, but you need to be logged out otherwise you don’t see the actual form.

@pmossberg Darn it. I saw that thread but forgot about it in my testing. I’ll take a look this evening and see if I can get them fixed.

Last night I finished off a script that will run through all the posts and…- Update links to threads that appear in threads so they point to the new threads. These are mostly Pauls’s posts where he directed people to another thread for their answer. Here’s a sample that should get fixed:
