Using the mouse to hover over a topic does not give a preview of the post.

Westside Guy · 05-24-2026, 07:42 AM

I apologize if someone has already asked this question but what happened to the "Preview Post" feature which I normally use to check for typos and content before finally posting?

So the way the editor is setup is that it is always in preview post mode. Meaning what you see is what you get. If you bold something, it will look bold in the editor, etc...

I guess I have to get used to this new set up. 😂

Will there be an option to stay on the old design?

Obviously not.

I still don't like doing it the new way, perhaps in the settings you can give us a "Preview Post" option and still edit our posts the old way?

Maybe you are talking about breaking a habit.

What would preview post show you that the editor doesn’t? They are one and the same thing right now

Maybe I am crazy but when adding photos, etc. it shows me the actual appearance of the attachment within the post.

The editor does the same thing. Just drag/insert the picture to where you want it. Here is a picture of me doing it in response to you.

What are the "Score" and "Tier" and "Rank" changes now showing under "Reputation" as opposed to what the old version showed?

Westside Guy Im still working those out, so don't get to tied to your new upgraded rank yet, but its your reputation score. the formula is a closely guarded secret of course

cmyx6go · 05-28-2026, 05:34 AM

Rep points aren't updating. I have notifications of new rep points, but the total isn't increasing. This is recent. I received 10 points on May 26th and 2 on May 27th but my total hasn't changed since May 14th.

No big deal, just thought I'd mention it.

EDIT- I just noticed that there are two locations showing different rep points. The points shown next to user name in upper right corner reflect the number on current site which is not updating. If I click on my profile on the beta site, the number is much higher.

Carry on

21century · 05-28-2026, 06:16 AM

Hello everyone, can someone please guide me on what I need to do in order to unlock the PM option?

Stick around awhile and make some posts.

The second higher one is the future 😀the formula is still being actively worked on and we are in an inbetween time where not all sites are on the new software so all rep isn’t being captured but when everything is converted then I will do a mass recalculation again

BrockDM · 06-01-2026, 08:15 AM

I apologize if I missed it but I did a quick search thru this thread and couldn't return any results. Is there still the functionality to change the visual text of how hyperlinks are displayed?

Example being the following text as a clickable hyper link "Link to Post" instead of displaying the entire hyper link of the post.

Not yet, but its being worked on to get the best most user friendly solution, so it will come back but maybe in a few days, maybe a few weeks

Will you be adding the 'embedded HTML image' feature from the current version of the site as well? Not sure about how I worded that. I'm referring to the option that says "Insert Image."

That function is already there. All you need to do is copy the URL of the image and paste it into the editor.
Such as:

Not referring to adding a pic, but instead adding something like a gif.

It works! Thank you. Still working mostly on the 'old' version so haven't tried that on a beta site, until now.
