    Adding a new forum page

    The site owner hasn't worked out how to get me on to the support board yet, so I'm afraid I shall have to pester you with what are probably very basic functions.

    I would like to create a second page for forums. This site has has examples https://www.vintagefordforum.com/

    I have no idea how to do this, and I have a great fear of stuffing up the site.

    We are on cloud https://www.diecastgarage.org/

    If I do manage to create a new forum page, is there any easy way to transfer a category from the main forum page to the new one?

      really! wow, it's great, very professional looking.

      Can you tell me how you made the Swapmeet pages?


      ohhhhhhhhh, thats tricky. I should have scrolled more. Your classifieds are on the main forum page, but somehow on their own as well. Very mctrickery

        Thanks
        Glenn's Mods made the difference. Even though there are less Mods available for cloud, there is still plenty to have a great site. Are there ones I would want but don't work with cloud, o yea, but I can live with it this way

          Welcome nincompoop.

          I like the "Top" button on bottom right when you scroll on your site. How did you implement ?

            I found the instructions on here, by one of the other members.
            I'll post a link If I can find it again.

            It involved a static html module, some css, and it may have need a tweak in the ACP


            Found it
            Hello. I recently upgraded from vB 3.8.8 to vB 5.4.1. One modification we used in 3.8 added a link in every post that takes the user to the top of the page.

              Thank You Sir ! It's amazing how little things like this make the users happy but are difficult to find documentation on.

            Actually Glenn came out with a better to the top Mod that did not float and get in the way. As you can see it's installed right here on this site

              Mitch, are you referring to the "Go To Top" option in the footer ?

              Ah Yes, I did see that and it integrates into the forum so much nicer.

              We are a non-profit org. with a BOD and they are trying to get a dedicated vB person to come in and help perform updates and tweaks above and beyond what volunteers like myself are doing.

              If they don't identify someone, I have a list of mods Glenn has created that I would like them to assign a budget to me to start downloading.

              Glenn's Mod's for the "to the top" and "to the bottom" are real nice. I believe the other one that you are looking at the "floating" was something that came out before these other two were developed

            #8
            The floating button was on our previous site, so the members are familiar with it.
            Once we get established in our new home and get some funds happening I will implement some of Glenn’s great codes, including the To Top in the footer of posts.

              I've bought and installed the top and bottom codes. Work great, and very helpful as our go to last post doesn't seem to work for most members.
