The Bronco II Corral forum is now working on new software in order to be 'mobile friendly'. It's not that hard to figure out how to use, but here's some tips to help you out:

Your Member Profile:

Up in the top right of the forum you will see your user name. If you click on your user name, a small window will open:



You'll see where it says 'Account Details' and 'Signature'. You can click these to edit.

Account Details - Will allow you to change your email address and avatar. There are also a variety of things for you to check off or fill in to complete your profile. These will effect the information that is shown under your name when you post. The banners under peoples names that show things such as 'Solid Axle Swap' and 'Ford Technician' appear as a result of how you fill out this form. At the very least, I would recommend that you list your City & State next to 'Location', so we all know where each other is.

Signature - The test that is displayed under your messages.

Posting Threads:

Posting a new topic (thread) is easy. You can either click on the 'Post Thread' button:



Or by typing a discussion title in the 'Thread Title' box right above the most recent forum post:



Adding Photos / Videos:

If you want to add a photo or video to your post, click the image icon above your message (see below). It will allow you to either upload a photo, or enter the link to your photo. It will not allow you to upload a photo larger than 2,048 KB (2.04 MB).



The drop down (2) spaces to the right of that will allow you to enter a link to display media from places such as YouTube.


Good luck and enjoy!!

Right. You only had (2) forum posts here at the moment. Not sure why it showed (2) screen shots. Operator error?

Ahh, so "messages" = "threads".
I will post another screen shot and see what happens.

When I paste the screen shot I also clicked on "full image", that gave me the double image. I thought that it was for choosing between "thumbnail" and "full image".
Test for thumbnail;

Here I backspaced the full image and then clicked on the "thumbnail". Not intuitive for me. But I will get used to it...I guess. Like learning anything, it takes some practice.

At the time of the screenshot, the shots don't display on the desktop. When I check it, it's OK. But want to know that there have any why behind this?

AFAIK, the screenshot is saved in the clipboard. That isn't displayed on screen until you paste it somewhere.

Nice input Jim. I think it's now easy to use new forum software.
Thanks, great post.
