About NewFC: how we got here and where we hope to go

[The Stray Fox]

Such a selfless thing to do @pakalolo and @Stu. Thank you so much for looking towards the future and keeping it going. I love it over there. I know I’ll love it here too.

"ditto" thanks for "stepping up". Your actions bring much peace to many.

It looks as if our "Join Date" represents the date we joined this new site ...not our "legacy" join date. Does that mean that any infractions/"warnings" a member may have incurred in the original site are now "expunged"? Tabula Rasa ? (I might have had a couple, not intentional, but rather careless from ignorance).

Also, I see that under a member's avatar "New Member" is most common, but some read "Member", or "Vaping since 2010", or other things. What determines the "title" there?

A "New Member" becomes a "Member" by making enough posts, the exact number escapes me. You can edit the title under your avatar to almost anything you like in your Account Details|Custom Title. We won't allow a title like "Staff Member" or "Manufacturer" but you can be "Grand Poobah" and we don't care.

While we haven't copied over everyone's warning points (way too much work) we will top them up if a member acts up. In other words, everyone gets a reprieve but if you break the rules, you might wind up with a warning point plus all your legacy warning points.

You can change that by going to your Account details > Custom title.

Why? What was your improper handle before?

For some reason [was high] I signed up as "Improvize" on the old FC. Got involved before realizing. Didn't wanna start over. Now is a good time to bite the bullet.

 

[ginolicious]

Old threads being closed on FC now I noticed? We are starting the merge to here as the new home?

Jesus. I’m bored at work and have time to post on two message boards that are almost identical haha. Forgot my Firefly 2+ today. My fault.

I got my first NFC email about a thread I'm watching!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I feel complete now!

Lol. I never selected that on FC. It always did it automatic if I viewed a thread. Or was that just me?

Pak~ is there a way to specify what we would like Alerts for?

Personally, I would like to keep alerts for when someone actually replies to one of my posts. BUT I would like to turn OFF notifications for Reactions as it is not a metric I wish to follow. Is that possible?



Additionally, I was going to drop a stack of photos in the Heady Glass thread but was capped at 5 images (pieces of media) per post. Is there a way around that? I did not want to create back to back posts, as I know that is more work for mods.

Correct, I meant that there are two Xenofo default styles. I created a large fonts version for each style.

Same question for you, have you tried switching styles? I don't know why you would get empty little squares for anything. Could you provide a screen shot so I can get some idea of what might be happening?

Yes I have tried all the styles, thanks for your attention.

I can help with the notifications question. Click on your name at top, then click on “preferences” and then scroll down to Receive a notification when someone…

Then uncheck “reacts to your message”

Again thanks to @Stu and @pakalolo for the new updated FC and the more secure layer with https. Lol I really like the arrow buttons that take you all the way to the bottom or top of the page in one fell swoop. Great work by the super mods and new mod staff!


ETA: Stu I posted using my VPN with no issue.

 

[FlyingLow]

Thanks Jill!
Cute puppy profile pic!

 

[nonamekevin]

Thanks to the mods holding it down for everyone. In for the new ride.

 

[Abysmal Vapor]

It is damn nice waking up and and not having the newsfeed ruined by spammers !They can shove their malenchancement pills up their ass.

 

[Diggy Smalls]

I just realized we are not limited to just liking a list. We have Facebook style reactions we can use for posts!

I'm loving this place more and more!

 

[Djsleepy]

Ok made it! Hey to everyone thanks to @Stu and @pakalolo for keeping us alive, much love guys!

 

[vapviking]

Instant Karma has reset us all to zero.
I love it. Okay, it took a minute...but I love it!
Happy to join FC and everyone in the new world.

All props to the mods who have kept FC alive, to the newly minted mods and huge thanks to the ones who have built this lifeboat big enough for all of us. Mahayana buddhists, truly.

And all those new emoji's! (oy)

I'm very grateful both for the original site (it's been indispensable for me) and the efforts to preserve the community. Thanks to the admins.

Couldn't have said it any better!

 

[DogBoy]

...it is impressive to see such a strong community...

...I have seen a board community go through worse...

...the future is forward anyway, not buried in archives...it would seem to me the FC community has already made the jump...

I certainly have made the jump; I don't want to feed any more content into a dead forum now that this is set up.

...will continue to look at the classifieds, but that too will fizzle out as more use this forum exclusively.

Is this the name we are going with? New Fuck Combustion?
What happened to Fcombustion ???

 

[Obsessed2]

I am very thankful for the decisive action to preserve our community. Words don't capture my gratitude. Much love and respect! Thank you!

It may be just you ... I only got an email when someone did something in a thread I was "watching".
