Congratulations on crossing over to the “dark side”. Xenforo is very user friendly.
Thank you. We're still finding our way with it and adding some missing pieces but so far, I really like it!

I have an add on that save me thousands of headaches. I seldom get spam now (at 7 years out) that limits spam by about 95%. if you give me a user name over at XenForo, I’ll link you to it.

Never mind, found you. Linked it to you with what I use. Although I did spot one that may be better.
Hi Elizabeth - we have some stuff in place and we're going to see how that goes before we layer on more measures. Thank you for the PM (conversations as they are called in Xenforo).

Oh, I understand. Don’t want to muck up things too early.

Btw, like Apple says, there’s an app for that, lol.
And some plugins work better than others. But I’d be sure everything is like you want it, then save a backup, before adding anything. In fact, if you have a private locked test board, thats the place to figure out if things work.

As of 3PM 5/31/21 this issue is happening for me (mac, Safari). Cursor pause long enough over an event thread and the page will load into a google map of the location, for me it's in the upper right corner of the window, about 1/4 of the page.
I am getting previews of other threads when the cursor is hovered over the thread link.
Yeah - oops on my part. Users asked for the hover feature to be turned on, which I did but I didn't know that the hover feature and the Google maps feature we use in our Event threads were incompatible. We plan to leave the hover feature on and remove the Google maps feature in the Event threads "for now. All the events threads shown today were imported from vBulletin. We have yet to create a thread template for our leaders to use to create new events in Xenforo but it's on my project list.

The Google maps hover issue is now fixed. The hover/tooltip preview doesn't break on a thread with a map in it, so we don't need to remove maps from threads now after all.

Jim,
I received the enclosed email on 05/31/2021 asking me to read the new messages associated with this "test event".
However, when I click on the "View this Thread" link, I get an OOPS.... message. Apparently, the link is broken on the email.
Not sure what I'm supposed to do since I cannot find the "Test Event - 10/10/2021 to 10/13/2021" name and supposedly I cannot reply to the email.
Suggestions on what I should do now?... since I don't want to miss out on notifications of future events that I watched in the old system.
Thanks,
Jim Ownby (HondaVTXer)

Test Event - 10/10/2021 to 10/13/2021
This is a test.Please do not reply to this message. You must visit the forum to reply.

If you no longer wish to receive these emails, you may disable emails from this forum or disable all emails.

Thanks, all better here now. Forum otherwise seems to be working fine, seems like a good transition to the new platform.
Jim,
This event has been deleted. I was testing in the live public forum. I am now testing event creation in a private sub-forum for mods/admins.
Disregard friend and thanks.
I have noticed two things, #1- when I sign on, I get an error message that says " oops, there was a problem, please try again later"
#2- On the old format I use to be able to click on my name and find my recent started threads, recent posts and such, does this new format not have that option ?? It is a good feature because I can't remember the post or threads that I may have replied too or started. When I click on my name on this new format I do not get that option.
Thank you,
Windows 10

In Windows 10, if you click on your name, is there a choice of "Content"? If so, is that what you're looking for?
Possible solution to #1 issue. If you are still using the same bookmark for the old forum software that could be the issue. Type in heartlandowners.org in the browser url field and press enter. When the forum comes up without an error, create a new bookmark.
