I had a different username on the old system. How do I change this new user name back to the previous one?
I believe you have to sign in with the old account. If this (egreenfi) was a previous account on the old system, then you may need to request a new password for your other account name here:
http://www.maplewoodonline.com/forum_user.php
First you have to determine that the user name you want to use is still recognized by the system. If you had a space in your user name (ex: user name) you need to replace any such space with a _ (ex: user_name) otherwise it will not work. If that isn't the problem, try requesting a new password for the user name you want to use and see if the system will issue one to you. If neither of these things works, you may have to e-mail Dave/Jamie for help.
Is anyone else having difficult uploading an avatar image? When I hit the submit button after resizing the image, nothing happens.
For anyone with difficulties - please include - browser and operating system.

Check out the Avatar help thread. I think that there was some advice on this there.

What exactly did you do?
A few posters have mentioned the problem stated in the OP. In each case, the system seems to reverting back to the 1st user name a poster has registered in the system. Now that we have to enter a real first name/last name/password to register, I wonder if the system is limiting each of us to a single user name and therefore issuing a password only for the first user name a given poster submits.
Here's a suggestion for Dave/Jamie down the road... Make the selection of 10/20/50 discussions and/or posts part of user preferences and permanently set? Have to reset to 50 every time I log in it seems.
Though I'll say this: scrolling to the last (earliest) discussion from the last big forum change, comments are strangely similar nine years later....
OK no link, but where is this thread? Example: Please Help>Icon. or Whatever.

I have tried to bookmark this worldwebs site twice - nada. What's up with that?

What happens when you try? What browser? OS?
You could take another bookmark and rename it and change the URL to which it points.
Having issues with posting pictures today (not a problem yesterday) - Even pictures that loaded successfully yesterday are not loading today. Has anyone else noticed any problem with picture handling? I've resized the pictures down to smaller than those I was able to post yesterday. Puzzling.
Does anyone know if there will eventually be a feature to opt out of catagories I have no interest in, like "Word and Picture Games"?
no - reading and participating in Word and Picture Games will be mandatory! jk - I hope we can integrate a block category feature down the road - just not a top priority - but definitely is on my radar.

Hee hee! I'm looking forward to blocking Soapbox: All Politics again. I don't believe anyone has ever changed someone's mind there...

- block category
- ignore thread
- ignore user
My big three, which I will submit when they are open for submissions, which is not now.
Do we have a dedicated thread for questions / issues related to the migration? I'll leave this here since I can't seem to find one...
@jamie @dave - on the old forum, I could be signed in (and have the board retain that) from multiple devices simultaneously. That doesn't seem to be the case now. If I sign in from my tablet, I'm logged out from my laptop / desktop / whatever. Can you tell me if this is an intentional change, or something that will be addressed in the future? Thnx.
This will be addressed.

Lol,Jamie, that is why I said "eventually" Rome wasn't built in a day, enjoying the new site very much and thanks for all your hard work and effort, hope you are having some R&R too!
I assume related but I can't stay logged in from any single device. I'm on iOS 8.3, using safari and it won't keep me logged in.
Also, this is an odd one I just noticed while typing that. In every other app, and every other website on Safari, hitting "space" twice while typing inserts a period and a space, but that's not working in this text box. I just went back to old MOL and confirmed it worked there, but not here.
One more, while I'm airing my grievances, I'm on an iPhone 5S. Old MOL would display about 7-8 threads on a screen at a time, when browsing a category. The new site only fits three. The use of space is just much less efficient.
A few other oddities while browsing on mobile, but those are the biggies.
Thanks guys.

It's odd, because I'm also on iOS.8.3 and I can stay logged on for hours and hours now. Not sure what I've done differently.
Weird. I'm even checking the box to keep me logged in.

Yeah, the first 24hrs was a little iffy for me, and yesterday when I moved around I had to keep signing back in (if I moved out wifi range then back in, for example) but today I can not use the site for a Mong time and it's OK. Might be part of the tweaking.
On a related note, I'm finding navigation a little easier now I'm getting a mental site map.
