Hi everyone - welcome to the forums again.
We think you'll like the new features that this transition will bring everyone, but it's likely to be a bit bumpy at the start - so use this thread to discuss the move.
Enjoy.
FAQs:
How do I change the theme?
Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click the 'PlanetCricket Xen' link to bring up the style chooser
How do I PM someone?
PMs are replaced with 'Private Conversations'.
Either click on a user's name and click 'Start a conversation' from the popup box, or click the 'Inbox' menu at the top and the 'Start a new conversation' link at the bottom of that
Why is my usertitle different?
The trophies system now controls the usertitles that you have. Basically instead of just post count, doing different things on the forum can give you trophies. There's a list of them here, and once you reach certain milestones of trophy points, you'll see that reflected in updated user titles.
Who are followers?
Those are the people who were previously on your friends list - as well as people who sent you a friend request even if you didn't accept it. If you follow people, they will show up in your news feed. Click on your name in the header to see another link to that.
How do I get to the first/last post of a thread?
Also worth noting - that the main link to the thread will take you to the first unread post, while if you want to view the first post, click the date/time below that.
Why is my usertitle different?
It is calculated on the basis of the total trophy points - you can see the number and the specific trophies under the post count on everyone's profile.
Can I change the number of posts per page?
No, that's a site wide setting.
Can you change my usertitle back to what it was?
No.
Why is everyone using my sig image?
Only you will see it that way - so no, it's not something I'm interested in fixing as it solves itself as more users go here and put in their sig image or remove the sigpic codes.
Why is my avatar blurry?
For some unknown reason Xenforo hardcodes the sizes of avatars, and wants you to upload a large 192x192px image (shown on your profile), which is then downscaled to a 96x96px avatar on posts.
Why is my user title different?
See above.
