LaCrosse, Wisconsin area… not many A&A players around here…
But, I just got back into it and finally went into the local game store. I figure if I can play there I may find a few players in the area.
@MrRoboto Well, at least we’re on the same software as TripleA now.
Okay from the first couple of minutes of strolling around here:
I love the new chat feature. It’s much better. One bug I noticed: I just changed my skin to “Darkly”, and when I press on the chat bubble, all of the chats are invisible and only visible during mouse-over.
I also love the notifications! They are, so far, the best change I discovered.
In the old forum, I mainly used the button, where the forum would show me all the threads I replied in, that have a new post - this way I could very easily grab all the games where it’s currently my turn. I have not discovered that yet.

You’ll get a notification. Just click the bell icon.
Is there a way to go to the last page when you open a new thread? SMF allowed that because you could always open the last page. Or is the only option to show newest posts first?
@simon33 Yup … look in the tool bar and click this …

Yeah I was looking for thhat too. What I do right now is:
On the top, you see a little field, in this case it shows “40 out of 41”. You can click on the double arrows pointing down

There is a better way but it probably isn’t set for all of your old posts (unless you reply I think).
Click “Unread”
Then select “Watched Topics”:
If there are old topics you want to “Watch” just be sure to click the button at the bottom or top to watch it:
@djensen Or just reply to all topics you want to watch. They are marked as watched automatically
One thing I’m finding a bit prickly here is that ordering posts in a forum by newest to oldest refers to the OP, not the newest post in the thread. This is not so useful IMO.
@simon33 I’m not sure what you’re seeing but I’m seeing the correct beahvior. It’s sorted by more recent post/activity in the thread:
It’s sorted by replies while the original posts are all over the place.
Perhaps I just got confused there with the lack of showing when the last post was. Your right, it seems to work when I look at it in detail.
@simon33 Pinned posts are not obvious enough. @Gargantua mentioned this too.
