All the supposed upgrades and still the worst emojis.

Does anyone know why I am getting the error asking me to upload one photo when I try to reply to a post? Hope this one works....

There are a lot of threads going asking questions about how to do various things in this new environment. This is the place to share solutions mostly and perhaps ask for others. By "ask for others" we are looking for functionality that once existed that you can't seem to find in this new software. Please don't add wish list items that have never existed. We'll get to those later.

Please note we (Admins) are learning these things with you...all while trying to recover past functionality, look and feel, etc.

How does one do a search on a particular topic?

How does one do a search on a particular topic?

The search function is not able to return all the results. There are 16 million posts and the re-indexing of that is just not going the way it should. We are still working on it.

I use the search in google. For instance, in the search bar type in springfield 1911 site: texasbowhunter.com and you'll get many results.

Hello Admins/Mods,

Not a big issue, but I think the TBH system needs a "daylight savings" update.

I am noticing that posts are showing a time stamp an hour off. Times showing an hour into the future when posting.

This is a weird one. I looked and found you to be correct. I swear I saw it differently in the past. I have checked settings in the forum control panel and it is set correctly. In your User Control Panel you control some of this. I changed mine to DST always off and the times are now correct for me. I'll continue to investigate. Let me know what you find.

Yeah, it does this to me also.

It automatically populates your screen name into the first email address box. Just have to delete what is in there and save changes.

Yes sir, that works for me as well. Set it to "always off" and the post times are correct now. It also works the same on my phone.

Being that the option for "Automatically detect DST settings" would be something that is server/system dependent to apply, it seems this is an issue with vBulletin. But could be the server it is on. If it is hosted in a time zone that does not change, it might not adjust the server time and vBulletin might be dependent on the server time.

Incidentally, I logged out of TBH on my phone with it set to Automatically detect and the times showed correctly. So that option in the "User Settings" has a major effect on this for users logged in. I imagine before the time change it would have showed correctly when not logged in also. Just odd how it effects those who are logged in.

Making this change now in User Settings, the next time change would probably bring this issue up again.

Hope this helps.

I experienced the exact same thing. It's as simple as wiping out your name that it auto-inserts when you open that form.

[Pstraw]

This worked for me. Changed DST always off, retype email address twice, and save changes at the bottom of the page. Have correct time now.

Thanks, Casey--

Long time listener, first time caller to the new forum setup. Looks great! Does this also mean searching topics in subforums is gone, and only the search function at the top for the whole site?
