Dear all,
The forum software was upgraded this morning to a new version.
Most things are the same... (and that is a good thing), but you might see a few differences. Round avatars for example.
Bookmarks
Another new thing that this new version incorporates is Bookmarks. Donating members have had access to plugin that gave this capability for a while, but now everyone have it. This new bookmark system is built in to the software and will be around for a long time. The plugin that has been available for the donating members is still available, but it might not be available "forever", so if you have a lot of bookmarks there it might be a good idea to find a way to get them over into this new system.
How do i bookmark a post?
At the top right of every post there is a small bookmark icon. You an se it below, just to the left of "#1". Tap it and you will be asked to add a note for this bookmark. It could be "good idea to keep shoes dry" or whatever you like.
To see the list of bookmarks that you have collected, go to your profile page and click the "bookmarks list" link.
Another new thing with the new forum software is the idea of "Reaction Score". This is not important, but I mention it here since I know I will get questions about it. So what is it?
Before we had "Like", now we have reactions...
(To see these reactions, just hover your mouse over the "like" link... on mobile/tablet I think the "Like" is the only thing available)
The "Like" is a +1. The "love" is a+1, the others is a zero (if I do not remember wrong). In theory I could add a "thumbs down" and give it a -1. I will not do that, but you get the idea.
So the reaction score is the sum of all the reactions you have received. I know some people do not like this, and I understand. This comes with the forum software and it is not important.
There are some more new features (like push notifications) but have not had time to look at this yet... maybe tomorrow.
Now: Lukas, dinner, some play and bed.
Happy planning pilgrims!
