It is supposed to be be right between new posts and recent posts. There is an issue with the security setting on the menu item so it is only showing up for some users.

Heh. Sounds like this software is keeping you all busy

Let me know if you see "New Topics" now. It should appear to everyone who is logged in.

Used to be when I clicked on a post my screen showed line one of page 1 and I read from beginning to end. Now it opens to the end of the post (article). Whether accidental or intentional I don't know but I prefer the old way.

If you click on the title of the post, it should bring you the first post. If you click on the blue dot next to the title if it exists, it should take you to the first unread post.

Is it possible that your browser is scrolling to the bottom of the page to the reply box?

Let me know what browser and OS you are using and I'll see if I can replicate the issue.

Edit avatar is working now... But how do you get the picture sized to fit the little box in the corner? I'm unable to grab the corner and manipulate the photo must be too large but my iPad doesn't let me re-size photos. (Apple must not think that owners of their product need to do that)

There isn't a way to crop the photo when uploading from an iPad. Also, the photos app in iOS9 allows you to crop a photo, but not resize it. You would need to start with a square picture 100x100 pixels.

Thanks for getting back. Am using Windows 10 and Chrome.

How do you reckon I can get a square 100x100 photo on an iPad? Especially convert an existing photo to that? The 2 photos that I was able to upload a few minutes ago showed up tiny with 1 laying on its side.

There has to be an app for the iPad that can resize an image. I'll look for one and see if I can find something useful that doesn't take 1000 steps to accomplish the task.

I appreciate the effort that the admins are putting into making the upgrade work. It's like having a brand new power tool with a bunch of fancy options. Thanks to all as we navigate new options.

It looks like I need to adjust some of the search settings for recent posts. An album I just created in my user profile for my kitchen cabinet build is showing up as a new thread. I'll get to that after some shop time.

I do... thanks for the quick fix.

Just noticed the 'Like' button. Have you found somewhere that shows you all the posts you 'Like' ?

I've confirmed with vBulletin that this feature does not exist. I've opened a feature request for with their development team, but when / if they get to it depends on how many other users request it or vote on the issue. If I can figure out where the "Like" statuses are stored in the database, it shouldn't be too difficult to cobble something together.

I have been unable to duplicate this issue on Windows 10 with the current version of Chrome, or any other browser for that matter, and haven't been able to find any mention of a similar issue with other vBulletin installations on the support forums or bug reports.

There is a free iPad app on the app store called "Photo Editor Free" which isn't bad ... it does have a lot of ads in it though. It is easy to crop and resize photos. I downloaded a dozen or so different apps and this one was the easiest to use
