Absolutely - we’re all in this together!
I think the best option would be the bookmark feature. You click the 3 dots in a reply or topic
Click the bookmark icon
That will save the thread in the bookmarks section
When you click into the topic, it brings you to the bookmarked reply.
The problem comes where you have multiple bookmarks in a single thread, it doesn’t show you exactly where those are. I’ll poke around the settings to see if I can adjust that
@Nick I was actually thinking like in the old Forums where there were threads that were always at the top no matter how old they were.
Understood. I’ll research if there is a way to make this happen
Glad to see the forums waking up. Like others said: it’ll take a while to learn how to use it.
I don’t know if it’s true for posting pictures, but when loading my avatar, I was able to do it directly from my own computer file rather than having to pull it from a photo service.
Now I notice that it doesn’t accept formatting. My last entry was two paragraphs with indented first lines, but it ran them together.
This part is a new paragraph with an extra blank line between them.
(edit:) OK, it sees the new paragraph, but deletes the leading spaces.
I wasn’t able to sign in despite entering in the correct e-mail address and password that I used previously.
Thanks to how Kalmbach was handling things, when I changed e-mails years ago prior to losing my ISP supplied e-mail account, somehow the new e-mail was only linked to some portions of the site.
Elsewhere, despite multiple attempts at migrating over to my current G-Mail address, the long defunct e-mail stubbornly remained (I always meant to call Kalmbach customer support to try to rectify this, but never got around to it). This includes the forums, which now tell me my password is incorrect even though it’s what I always used before and is what’s saved in my Chrome password manager.
And without that long dead e-mail account, there’s clearly no way I can reset my password.
Hey Leo, shoot me a message. We have multiple options to help you out here. We can merge old to new accounts, replace old emails with new emails so you can keep your actively, etc.
Happy to help
Hey everyone - new here. I look forward to connecting with you all!
Welcome, Freightalley. As you probably gathered, we’re all kinda new right now. After 14 years, on the old forum, I feel like I’m starting from scratch learning how to do anything.
The good news is that while it’s a new experience, it doesn’t have the glitches and should be easy to use once you get used to it…
Just testing to see if I can show a picture. (My Avatar.)

Let us know if you have issues.
I post most of my photos from Flickr. I click and copy the BB Code from the Flickr Share menu then simply paste it into the text box here. The new forum software seems to have a 4mb file size limit (even for off-site hosted photos?) so I try to select a photo below 4 mb which you can do at the drop-down menu at Flickr.

Good Luck, Ed
Not anymore… Ive significantly increased the file limit size to 30MB. Try to upload something bigger.
Stand back!
Detroit Photographic Lackawanna by Edmund, on Flickr
Success! This image is 9420 x 7416 and is 17.0 Mb.
Regards, Ed
No problem. We may want to adjust if it impacts site performance, but I am going to keep it open at that size for now…
I’m checking it out after a long absence.

Thanks, gmpullman.
This was loaded from flickr using your advice. It took me a while to figure it out, but I’m happy. (I’m not very computer literate.)
(edit:) It occurred to me: I should add:
