no go Rich. Do you want me to turn off the DST?

That's what I have and the time is correct here.

My error I worked on the wrong profile. I just turned off DST. You can do this yourself in your profile.

I want to add my thanks to you tireless people who have set up the new system.
Especially peregrine and richb.

BTW richb, you are always on line when I am and there is quite a time difference between us. Do you ever sleep?

You mean the points already accumulated? I think not. User rep is implemented, under your Avatar, but we are all starting from 0

Yep - that's what I meant. Is there a way to bring the old rep in? Like I said, I don't mind editing members individually. I do think it is important. I just need the data.

I was just starting to accumulate points and I'd like to have it reinstated instead of starting from scratch. But it would be a big job.

Thanks Brooko for offering to take it on.

Sleep? What is that?

Now if I could just find the "Subscribe" button to add it to Google Reader.

The feeds are available when you see the Forum Index in the right side of the forum titles.

Thanks, I hadn't noticed them. I was looking for a site wide feed. And I guess I still am;)

I get one automatically... I use Chrome Reader extension and it shows in the address bar, I just have to click on it and select where I want to put the feed.

Two complaints. First, I was using the search function to find a fix that I once posted several months or years ago. I found it, but the links within the thread were dead. They were links to other forum posts. That makes it quite difficult to follow a bread crumb trail back to the original greqat advice. For example

http://forum.mepiscommunity.org/viewtop ... 77#p230477

The link in this post is dead. a minor annoyance to be sure, but sometimes I can remember a post I made, but might not remember enough info to get to the original post without going through one of mine.

Second, I don't know if it is the color scheme, the fonts, or what, but I find the new forum very difficult to read as compared to the old one.

These issues may have been addressed, but I was admitedly too lazy to read all 12 pages of this post.

Just a couple of comments...nice going on the new place...looks good, I just need to get used to it. I do miss the "Mark forums read" thing, it'll be nice when that works again...and it took me years to get a few "thanks" together, I'd hate to lose 'em.

Happy Holidays to all...

Obviously links to MepisLovers are dead because the forum is closed. There may be a way around this. Need to look into it.

Color scheme is choice we made. You can try adjusting monitor gamma. There is a color change extension for Google Chrome that allows you to change the color scheme for a site. There are probably others for FF and opera. but I would try a gamma adjustment first.

No easy solution to this.

The best we can do is for users to report the link and we will have to manually correct each one.
