Also not all pics transferred into both my dogs albums. Is this just a fluke or is it wrong??

Thanks, Dianne

I just noticed I have the same thing, in my folder there are 3 pics 2 of which are not mine??? Do I just delete them?

I have a question why is some one elses pictures in my album?

Other than that everything looks good. Thanks SM team for all the hard work!

i'm fine with the change as I'm used to VBulletin on the yorkie forums I'm on but PLEASE once you get all the basics done, add more of the features available to you. Right now this looks just like yorkietalk.com which is really really boring and hardly uses any of the features available. However, YorkieKingdom.net that I'm a member of uses TONS of the features and has a very colorful forum, full of graphics and options for members. For example, the background is leopard print, the main forum list icons are yorkies, there is a slide show that scroll across the screen, there is a chat box, you can decorate and add pictures and videos to your profile, etc etc.

- more potential for plug-ins
- more support in terms of our tech team and the developers of the software

From a user standpoint, the 3 I just listed are in my opinion a great starting point and foundation for everyone to see this upgrade.

Yep, the data was transferred no doubt of that - maybe more than you had intended. I have to say it was nice to go back and re-read some of the posts I had deleted and relive the good old days. Just goes to show the deleted PMs were still sitting in the database, I guess

Go to User CP (top navigation bar)
Scroll down to Edit Options on the left.
The option to become invisible is at the top.
To test - your name will (probably) be first in the online user list with an asterix beside it.

'tis a hidden benefit (pun intended)


Backtrack

I can't find how to login anonymously (scratch that - I found it by chance - but I note the forum no longer states/admits how many members currently online wish to be anonymous);
~ end quote ~
Quotes are no longer carrying forward - could be a bit confusing to LOLs (Little Old Ladies) such as myself

If members go to SM's Home Page, you will see a box across the bottom of the screen, linking to some dog forums which I assume are also in the VerticalScope "Kennel". I saw this box in my UserCP as well. There are several variations, in terms of colours, icons and some have more features in terms of add-ons and widgets, but no obvious themed or co-ordinated skins (yet?) as far as I can tell.

Ok thank you for that info. The post in question was a spammer posting spam. If you ever see posts that are suspicious like this, you can use the "report post" feature. It's the triangle icon located below the username in the post area.
