Are you on a laptop or phone? The upper right corner of the main page will show if you are logged in. If you are on a phone look to the top of your page for your avatar in a very small size.

Here is where the name is on the laptop:

Okay, do you need to opt out of ads before that? That is one thing I can do from the Admin settings. I'd be happy to do that for you.
 
Yeah,if you will.

Here's a suggestion.where the name of the forum is at the top.im wondering if the background can be a different color.everything else looks good there.
 
So Angie babe, is it true the forum is now ran by the CIA and Homeland security ;):eek:
Now you know that if that was the case I'd have to lie to you and say that the mysterious old fellow with the hillbilly hat and long beard is the current forum runner. But, then if it was run by a hillbilly guy with a few goats and maybe some items that go bang in the night, would you believe that? I can say there are NO FEMA camps or others to encourage you / family to participate in their largess should it become necessary when there is no TP again.
 
I don't have any idea who Angie is either. I had no knowledge that this was happening. Where is Clyde? It all seems odd.

It was coup d'etat :(
Free Clyde Free Clyde free Clyde Free Clyde Free Clyde free Clyde and so on...

Wonder if this was in the works for a while now? It is a bummer you weren't informed Rellgar :(
 
I don't think this was a long planned event. I don't know. It would have been nice if the mods had been told, but I will be more than happy to discuss things privately if they click on my big A avatar and see the Start a Conversation and send me a private message. I've been on your side of events like this and understand wanting to get some information, etc.

So Angie baby, how long did you work for Obama and Clinton for before you came to us :) :) :)
 
Okay, I just have found it best not to signal to the other side what may be planned as then they cannot plan for your actions too much.

And me, I just plan for no job for awhile, pandemics :)eek:), I even have cheap white wash rags and pool shock for when TP is totally not available. Oh, and tornadoes. Always plan for tornadoes.

I'm with everyone, we were all blindsided and don't like rapid change, not only a new site but a new owner. Before we make a snap reaction to the change, give it a week or two and see how we feel. The members here made the site what it is not the site it's self and the same members are still here, it would have been far worse if the site abruptly shut down without notice.

I'm going to give it a chance and feel it out for a while before I make any decision.
 
Old forum --- At the bottom of every post, the com-mentor's name was shown. That is now missing, Granted it is not a huge deal but it was a nice touch. When replying to the post, it was nice to see the name. Again, not major item but a nice item.
 
I keep getting locked out?? Just trying to go from subject to subject and I keep end up being locked out and facing the OLD Home page with a message its undrer maintenence ??
 
@BillMasen What you are experiencing is that your computer and possibly the Internet provider has not yet recognized the new server IP. What most often fixes it, is:
1. Delete your saved link to the forum.
2. Clear cookies for this site.
3. Clear history, so the old forum won't be lingering.
4. Now many will reboot at this point and others just do the next step.
5. Type in the forum address h t t p s: / / w w w. doomsday prepper forums . com (of course all together). See if this will bring up the forum as is. When it does, please save this version to favorites.

Did all of that and still no joy on the desktop. Posting from my phone is exceedingly aggravating because the line I am typing on keeps getting hidden.
 
I'm back again. And I just confirmed that it is a DNS issue unrelated to my shortcuts, cookies or cached files. I have no control over what DNS address the DNS server decides to serve up, and it has been flip flopping between 72.44.95.17 (old) and 159.203.190.112 (new). Usually new DNS addresses are registered everywhere by the next morning, but this has been going on for a good 38 hours now.

Flushing the DNS cache had no effect.
