If you are having any issues with using the new site or new version of forum software.
Post them here.
We will try to address them all, one at a time.

A trivial issue, Ruben, is the way dates appear. My personal preference would be DAY/MONTH/YEAR. I think that is how they appeared in the past.

That is easy.
In your preferences you can elect any date format you want.
For those that do not know where that is.
after you login select your name at the top right.
a menu will appear below your name.
select preferences

Also in the same area you can adjust your timezone offset.
So the date time of the posts match your location time.

Wondering if we need the "Amazing Charts Company Updates" forum, since AC won't be using this board to make official announcements anymore (I assume).

Very helpful, I am definitely liking this board better than the previous one, a bit easier to modify to make it work for my own needs too, and I do like the mobile version too. Maybe it takes a little while to change my time preference (Mountain) but I notice Eastern is still showing up under most recent posts section for me, hmmmmmmm, maybe I did not set it right. Will continue to monitor to see if it updates after I sign out and sign back in.

It should have been a immediate change unless your browser cache kicked in or as you said you did not save your settings,

OK, so now I can see back into the future. I asked Ruben to hide the ACCU forum for the same reason AnneMarie pointed out. So it happened. Then I found this thread and read your post. Wish I could do that at Vegas or in horse racing. smile

Although I could have posted under Chris and really played with people's minds, but decided that wouldn't be a great idea. Maybe on April 1.

Still stuck in Eastern time despite setting Mountain time and saving multiple times, after clicking on preferences. Not sure why but oh well, just have to pretend I am back in West Virginia, lol. Just a minor nuisance but if there is an easy fix I would love to hear about it, thanks!

Probably not.
I had to erase all watched items Due to it was going out to a lot of invalid email addresses that were returned.
Probably the reason the email was not working before.
I see you just added back one but I don't think anyone has posted since you added missing messages.
So Give it a bit and see.
I will post a just post to see.

Oh,
I just thought of this.
Check your spam or junklists and see if the message is going there.
Some email clients have gotten very strict if you don't have the sent from email address in your email contact list or set the email address in the whitelist.

I checked and you have set the time to america/ boise.
But you also selected Use Relative Times.
I turned it off.
Use Relative Times will not display the actual time but will show like 2 hours ago, yesterday, 3 days ago,etc.
See if that fixes it.

You may have to log out and log in after saving changes to your preferences.

Your time-zone preferences only apply when you are logged in, not when you're lurking as a guest.

***

Also, the time-stamps on the most -recent-post list on the left of the AC screen may not match the time-zone in your preferences.

Your preferred time-zone may apply only while viewing the actual posts.

For example, the post that I'm replying to at about 1:00 my Denver time is from Jimmie.

When I view Jimmie's post in the thread, the post correctly shows that it appeared at my preferred 12:43pm Denver time.

But the most-recent-post list on the left-side shows that Jimmie will use a time machine to post it two hours later than now at 2:43pm.

So in this thread, my own post is shown at my preferred Denver time at 12:59pm.

But it appears in the recent-posts-list on the left as 2:59pm, two hours later.

The time-zone preferences don't extend to the left-side list of recent posts.

And they don't apply at all if you're not logged on.

Same here, I could have sworn before, even when I was signed in that there was a 2 hour difference, now I get the same result as you carlfogel, thanks !

I just changed the time zone for guests to est.
What you may try is select your name at the top right and in the menu select cookies.
Then expire them.
It will bump you off.
So just login again and see if it makes a difference.
The times match for me But I set my preferences from the start.
So as new recent posts appear they probably will be correct..

Then just wait for new posts to appear on the left column in recent posts and see if they are correct..

Like I said it is correct for my view but I set my preferences from the start.

Hi Jimmie,

I just checked by clearing all cookies through AC-preferences and all cookies on my system by CCleaner, then logging back onto AC forum with current version of Chrome.

My AC time-zone preference was already set to Denver (MST).

Same results.

***

For me, the forum's left-side recent-posts-list shows timestamps 2 hours in future (EST) for recent posts.

But the timestamps inside threads themselves show my AC preferred Denver (MST) time.

***

For example, left-side recent-posts shows me Ruben's recent reply in this thread as 4:13pm, but he posted it at 2:13pm MST my time.

Viewing Ruben's actual post inside this thread shows the 2:13 MST time-stamp.

(If Ruben is on EST, both times probably match for him.)

But to me and Jimmie on MST, it looks as if people are posting two hours in the future (EST) when we glance at the recent-posts-list.

****

It's so trivial that I'd hesitate to even call it a bug.

After all, the posts appear in chronological order inside the threads, which is what really matters.

Cheers,

Carl Fogel

I changed the url from http://acusersforum.com to https://acusersforum.com to be more secure.

I need to do some cleanup on some images for it to show completely secure.

Unfortunately custom avatars is the biggest culprit.
And we did not have access to them so they are missing anyway.
Some of you have already visited and re-uploaded a avatar..

Not really an issue but is it possible to time stamp the shout board messages?

I have most of the https issues resolved.
It mostly was the custom avatars.
There still are a few outstanding , I think.
But as people come here and upload a new avatar it will clean up on its own.

In the past we could upload images (e.g. screenshots) to posts on the forum. Is that still possible?

I have been setting it back up.to be able to post images.
before it was a modification but we lost that.
Now it is the default system feature with the new version
Just did this yesterday.

Bert or I was going to post some type of user guide/announcement for it eventually.
But you beat me to the punch.

There may be more setting changes needed to work for everyone.
But it is functional now.

Also to remind everyone (who reads this thread) that there are 17 or 18 (depending on whether you count the default) styles or themes you can choose for the forum. It is in your preferences; the 7th one down.

There are a few other modifications as well.

I also enabled polls in posts.
It is called poll manager when posting in the full editor..
The issue is if you don't like your poll layout you need to start over. and edit your post
Meaning delete your post and start from scratch again.

An odd, not really that important thing I just noticed. If I'm not logged in, the 'Who's Online' section will show a handful of logged-in users (by their login names), plus the number of guests and mods on the site. As soon as I log in however, it shows 0 logged-in users, despite the fact that I, myself, am logged in.

It is a moving target that is updated every few minutes.
When you login it updates.. But sometimes it did not capture you at first.
If you refresh after you login you will see yourself
Next time you login just click on who is online now and see for yourself .Or navigate around a bit and it will update with you showing.
