Literally just paste the URL into your post and it will embed the video, so pasting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amHuUiZJsT0 will embed the video 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly it's pointless directing you to the instructions on how to manage notifications to topic's YOU'VE subscribed too. (But for anyone else that's interested, they're below) With that in mind, I'll do it for you. I suspect YOU had it set to receive instant email notifications. Instead of going off on a rant, surely a simple change to 1 email per day or no email notifications would have been sensible?

Cerberus1 Posted April 17, 2017 Author Share Posted April 17, 2017 Subscribed with instant email notifications to the 'I know no one will care but..........' thread then threw a hissy fit when they got lots of emails 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parley Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 I always thought this notification feature was overkill and should be removed. It should be like Facebook where you just have the little number showing updates within facebook. PIO has this too on the bell. Separate emails are annoying to most users. I know you can turn them off but not everyone knows that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainR Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 I've waited a little while to post this to see if my opinion might change over time, but would I be the only one who feels that the new forum setup is harder to read and feels cluttered? Maybe it's just a personal thing and I'm the only one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carob Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Yes, tend to agree with you. Not so easy to see what thread you want to follow. Also, some days bombarded with stuff, even though I've tried to sort what and when I want to receive posts. When I originally joined, I don't recall having to choose, it just happened! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason for this is that the site is now mobile friendly because 97% of our membership access the forum from a mobile device. So everything needs to be within a certain page frame (I think lol, I'm not the guru). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi @carob I find the notifications is exactly the same as the old forum. The difference is that it didn't save these settings when the forum changed over. On the old forum you made a post in any thread it automatically subscribed you to that thread and you received email alerts unless you chose differently. It is the same with this forum however, you have two options, to alter the default settings which will change how you receive notifications on all future messages and then you have another option for ones you are currently subscribed to.

Cerberus1 Posted May 11, 2017 Author Share Posted May 11, 2017 The notifications options are virtually identical to the previous forum software: Vbulletin (old forum software) managing existing subscriptions IPB (new forum software) managing existing subscriptions Vbulletin (old forum software) default subscriptions options (which will affect new but not existing notifications) IPB (new forum software) default subscriptions options (which will affect new but not existing notifications) The new forum software has more options as it gives you finer control over notifications. Guides to managing notifications can be found here: and here: With regards to the forum being 'cluttered', I fully respect people will have differing opinions about things, I've absolutely no problem with that. From a purely personal point of view, I find IPB to be far cleaner in appearance, and the most important thing by far is that it's a fully responsive design, meaning whatever device the forum is being viewed on, it will adept itself to that screen size and still be fully mobile friendly and readable - something the old forum wasn't and one of 3 reasons we took big hits in google. Given over 60% of our traffic now comes from mobile & tablets (not including access via tapatalk and our app), it was crucial to implement such a design. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerberus1 Posted May 11, 2017 Author Share Posted May 11, 2017 Just to add, if anyone wants me to delete all their existing subscriptions, so they can start again using new default options (such as no emails, once a day emails etc), just msg me as I can delete them all with one click via the admin control panel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
