Bigwan Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Click your profile name in top right corner, select profile from drop down menu. Type your update in the wee box labelled "write a public message on your own feed...", Simples! At least that's how I do it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Click on your 'zone' at the top right hand corner, go to Profile, and you should see your 'Feed' where you can type a status update. If it's not there, then you have disabled the feature under Options and will need to re-enable it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 More importantly how do I get rid of the whole Status Update and other columns on the right? They have nothing of interest to me in them and they take up valuable screen real-estate. The old version of the forum used to allow this.

Silvia Bluejay Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 (edited) On a PC browser, if you keep 'CTRL' pressed down and then press '+' repeatedly, the font size of the text on the entire page will increase. Once the main area of this site is large enough, the right-hand column will be moved to the bottom, after all the forums and subsections, and you can ignore it more easily. That's similar to the mobile phone look. That obviously assumes you don't mind reading really large type on your screen!

This would have been the ideal solution, but unfortunately it is not similar to the mobile look, but exactly the same as the mobile look, which while removing the unwanted right hand columns also removes a lot of navigation features that I find useful such as the breadcrumb trails.

Bassassin Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 I'm frankly amazed to find myself to be the only person to make a helpful suggestion such as: Sell your old S2000, buy a Streamline. /Coat. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I can get back on the site during lunchtime, (apparently visiting a forum doesn't count as work - who knew) I'm still in the dark. I can't see a box that says "write a public message...", neither can I see an Options menu that allows it to be enabled (were it disabled in the first place).

ead Posted June 29, 2018 Author Share Posted June 29, 2018 It's really not! I've posted in "Wanted" as I was after a Fender BBOT bridge saddle screw and spring as I've mislaid one when I dismantled an cleaned up an old bridge. I though a status thingy might attract a wider audience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
