Hey Everybody!!! Forum Software Upgrade in the Works

The AVG toolbar was an add-on to the internet browser. I'm not sure exactly how it was supposed to work (And no, I don't feel nit-picked. :cool: ) but it seemed to have embedded itself into the browser, so that a bunch of things were different, For example, internet searches tended to be redirected through an AVG site rather than directly through google. Quite a pain. But I suppose it's better than the internet olden days (10 years ago lol) when toolbars from some of the more unscrupulous companies would actual change your bios.

And yes, AVG is its own company. IIRC, the first time I heard of it was maybe seven or eight years ago, when I used their free anti-virus software. It's been years, so I don't know if they support anti-virus software anymore. That software used to be pretty good, though. And it was free.
 
My inbox, alerts and log out buttons are back, even though I had to restore my computer settings to a time when AVG was still installed (Don't ask.) Whatever was done behind the scenes worked.

Also I have a question. What is the limit to the number of PMs one can send/receive with the new software? With the old software, IIRC, it was 600 and the number was tracked so that you could see it in your inbox. With the new software, I've been trying to send a PM to a friend (You know who you are.) and keep getting the message that I don't have permission. Could it be that I have exceeded my limit? Or is it something to do with the other person's privacy settings? I can't tell, because the error message is ambiguous. Help needed.
 
Okay. Trying to clean out my PM/inbox, in case that's the root cause of why I can't send PMs.

Question. Is there a way to select multiple PMS to be marked for deletion? ATM, all I'm able to do is select the PMs, one at a time, open them and "leave the conversation." What a colossal pain! Unless I'm missing something, there's no way to delete PMs without opening them and deleting them individually. Also, every time I delete a PM, the mailbox refreshes itself by going back to the most recent PM. Also a pain, because it's the opposite of the way I delete. When I'm deleting, I go from oldest forward. My recent PMs I want to keep. It's the old ones I want to get rid of.

Anybody have suggestions?
 
Looks like the PM mystery is mostly solved. Who one receives PMs from can be controlled by ones privacy settings. I can choose to accept PMs from all DF members or only from people I follow.

There probably is a limit to the number of PMS one can store, but I have no idea what it is because I assumed that was the problem and started deleting before I started trouble-shooting other possible issues. Oh well. *shrug*
 
Avg free actually is pretty good, I think I would actually rate avg better than mcafeee and some other products out there.
 
Yep. I used it for years, and then the Norton people got a clue and lowered the price of their digital downloads sold via Amazon. Insanely cheap to buy the three-user version of Norton Anti-Virus or even 360. So what the heck. I fork over the cash. Trusted product. Industry standard. Reasonable price. What's not to like?
 
I have a love hate relationship with this new format. I cannot for the life of me update my signature. I can see my signature under "My Profile" but I don't have the option of updating it. I've searched through this thread and saw some people ask about it, but I couldn't find a response.
 
I decided to upload a few pictures, but can't figure out how, or that hasn't quite been installed yet. So, there ARE thinks that have to be worked on still. (but not by me) The "admins" ARE still working on stuff.
 
Jananananana, in the top right corner of the page you should see your username wit a drop down menu. Item #2 (on the left) is "Signature". Hope that helps!
 
This is the same issue I reported -- not able to update signature. Only mods have reported in this thread as being able to see the link. I'm understanding from Janananana's post that she can see her signature displaying in her profile, not that she see's the drop-down/link that enables changing it.

As I mentioned previously (and I think I provided a link to a forum discussion on the subject), I suspect that signatures are simply not yet activated for non-admin users on DF. Someone needs to turn them on for regular user types.
 
And df is still slow. Very slow. Still very difficult to post anything quite often. SF which I am guessing uses the same software and is on similar servers etc isn't.... It never was a problem with sf, but since the upgrade df has been a pain in the butt!

Click to expand...

Yeah, the last signature I set before the software changeover is still visible in my posts, as you can see below this. But I can't change it. When I look at the drop-down menu, my options in the left column are: "Personal Details", "Contact Details", "Privacy", "Preferences", "Alert Preferences", "Avatar", and "Password".
 
so...when you guys hove rover your avatar (above it on the far left), when you get the drop down box with personal options, the second option isn't sig?....cuz that is what I have...and when I click on it I get an empty box in which to type my sig
