"If you want to view a post in threads like the old forum you can click on "Threaded Mode" at the top right. If you want to switch back you click on "Linear Mode" again.

The icons above the box where you write your post do different things. Like make you text bold, or a different size or color. You can also insert links, photos, and video. It's a bit like writing in Word or Word Perfect."

Wow, I hadn't noticed either the thread option or the text options, even though it's right there! That'll be awesome to be able to play with the text, or view the thread in the "old" style as needed. Both really cool options!

Question: Can different insiders post with their own names, as before? There are some insiders who will remain nameless (Davis, yeah, talking to you) who hate having to use the generic "orek" handle.

"You're not being a PITA at all. The benefit of subscribing to a thread is that the User CP can provide you with listing of posts that you decide that you want to follow. It saves time rather than having to go through every forum looking for what you want to read."

MDs, hi. I see where it says "User CP," but what does the CP mean here? I can think of lots of interesting ideas, but none that seems to be appropriate to the situation.

Wait, "currently present" perhaps?

Hi Orek. Good to see you here! CP mean user control panel. So your user CP is your user control panel. And sorry about Davis having to post under your user name. She can sign her posts at the bottom as Davis but no there is no way to change the user names like the old site.

PS Samantha HATES that too

Hey, Emma....thanks for answering orek.

Emma and orek....FWIW, a lot of us would love to be able to post under our individual names, but we understand the benefits of this way as well.
