Just a test to see if this Luddite can make this new stuff work.

Test successful Russ, welcome to the future 
Well, Iâm not sure what Iâm doing, but I guess Iâm at least signed up!
Well, I have some questions nowâ
- How do you get here without going though the old system?
- Under the old system, you used to be able to see all the comments from all the Kitmaker sites simply by clicking on the âall sitesâ button. Can you do that here?
I guess I found the old system just so easy to scroll down and see all the postings for all of Kitmakerâ this seems really hard to do that.
VR, Russ
Welcome Russ!
What were you trying to do? If you run into any trouble just Google âDiscourse +â whatever you are trying to do and there are lots of pages giving info on how to do x.
Cheers,
Jim
There will still be some of that on here, but until we fully diverge from the old platform and are using this one it wonât be as simple, no. All the content will be on sites like this:
And the comments on that site will also reside (and be put in) here. Also all content posted on any of our content sites will also have topics here like the old sites so you should be able to see whatâs new by simply haunting the forums.
As for how to get here the link to the ânewâ forum will be on the current/old sites from now until whenever they finally go to web sites heaven I guess. The easiest way to get here though is simply to create a new bookmark. 
Hi Russ,
Straight and easy answer to both question is bookmark this address:
https://forums.kitmaker.net/latest
Longer answer, for nÂș 1 click the link on the main site black ribbon on top, ânew forumsâ.
For nÂș2, once there, you have the very latest topics with new posts on the right, and and the end a button for âmoreâ, which will show you all.
Click the âScale Modeling Forumsâ and you get this view:
The column on the right is the system informing me about new developments in threads i have show interest in. The left side shows what has happened in the various forums since I checked the last time.
Clicking Latest shows a list of latest posts, New is similar, Unread (number) shows me a list of the posts I havenât read. In the New and Unread I can dismiss all or read some and then dismiss. Top sounds as if it shows the most active threads?
When you reply in a thread or read it for a longer time it gets marked as something you are interested in and it will show up in the right hand column. You can also tag threads as interesting to read later or actively follow/monitor. I would monitor a thread without replying if it seems to be turning ugly, the system will notify me about updates and I can step in and hand out warnings or lock the whole thread.
Moderators also have the option to Silence a user for a while. Lots of fun stuff for moderators in here
