Forum Update - We're back! Ask your questions here.

[Janet H]

In the past days, we've been working to update the forum to a new software platform and we've been offline. Welcome back! The new forum software is powered by Xenforo and there are some new features and functions. We're still tweaking things so please be patient.

There are many new features and I encourage you to wander around, test things out and then visit your profile and do some updating. Please keep in mind that changes and adjustments are still being made and so views will become more refined over the next few days.

Update your profile:

• Consider uploading a new avatar (little pic next to your posts). The new site accommodates larger images and old avatars are looking a little tired. Avatars will automatically resize - choose a good one!
• Update your signature if needed
• Add a profile banner - larger image that displays on your profile page
• Review your signature - you may need to update it.

Mobile viewing
The site runs well on small screens. Try it out on the road, and use your regular login - no app required. Set a bookmark for the site on mobile for fast access and look for push notifications (coming soon) to stay up to date.

Thread marking:
The forum remembers what you have already read and will display new unread threads as bolded or when you click into an ongoing thread, takes you to unread content BUT: You may need to Mark a forum "read" for this to work correctly moving forward. The conversion could not "remember" what you have already seen and so initially all threads may appear as unread. To do this, open a forum and look for the link at the top of the list of threads to "Mark Read". Alternatively, use the 'Mark Forums Read' link at the top of the page to mark all.

Classifieds: The classifieds pages are still offline. We have a new classifieds system in the works and it's not quite ready to go live.

There are many things still being tweaked and fiddled with and you will continue to see some changes but we wanted to get back online as soon as possible - thanks in advance for your patience.

Still under construction:
New Forum 101 Thread (how to navigate the board and configure accounts)
More items as they are discovered
Classifieds

Post up if you have questions - we're all learning

If you have 2 accounts, we can merge them and move all posts to one account but we will need to know which account you wish to retain. Duplicate accounts are not allowed.

Duplicate display names and system-changed names - With the recent Software update, duplicate display names (two members w/the same name) are no longer allowed.

If you find your display name was changed and you need a hand updating it, please let us know. Often these changed display names will look like this: Treeman (changed to) Treeman-TMO.

You may be able to edit your display name yourself via your profile, but if you need a hand, please hit the contact link at the bottom of the page - we can help.

Hi Janet. Is there any way to recover my collection of 'private messages' ?

Hi Janet. Is there any way to recover my collection of 'private messages' ?

Private messages are now called Conversations and should have been preserved/moved with the software update. Here's a direct link: https://www.trailmanorowners.com/conversations/

Once you've clicked on the envelope, look for a small link to "show all"
