What a pain! I was never able to get my old RV.net account to work so I had to create a new account. Then, I couldn't figure out how to get to the most current messages. I do not like this new format but at least the thread seems to be intact.

Hi Metalgator 71, Yes it definitely takes a while to get used to the new format and workflow. If you haven't already figured out how to find the new messages there are two ways I use that seems to help.
On the new posts window, just under the words Unread Discussions, you can click on and display just the headings on the screen or click on Posts and see every post on the screen. I prefer Discussions as it's much cleaner.
Alternatively I also created a bookmark to the unread posts and put it on my Bookmarks Toolbar so I have quicker access. Link
As far as not being able to login with your old user name are you making sure to first click on RV.Net user button? From there you should be able to put in your original user name and then click on the forgot password link. If so make sure you check your email spam folder to see if the reset password link is in there.
If you're still interested in getting your old login back I'm adding the administrator to this response to see if he can help if needed. @evanseegmiller

Thank you @opnspaces,

I am going to send you a DM right now. Happy to help you get your old RV.net account back!

I click on the RV.Net button. It doesn't take my password so I do the forgot password link. I get an email and then click on the link and put in a new password (that passes the password requirements) and then I get an error message that says something about I don't have permission to do this function. I have been trying to get logged on since this new site started. I finally gave up and created a new account (added 71 to the end of my old username) just so I could get logged in. Very frustrating.

I went through a very similar experience. It's disheartening to know that many, many others did not and will not persevere and make it to this new, "improved" site.☹️

RIP, old rv.net. We all miss you.☹️
I was wondering if you'd ever make it over here, Burch. I don't think many of the Old Fella faithful have, it's just to cumbersome and user unfriendly.

Hello
Nov-21-2023 04:07 AM
I fear, after trying to navigate and browse this new website design, that many, many people will give up on following the FOOF topic. So many features of the old design are gone, including all of my past PM's, sent and received.☹️

I'm still here, still trying to make sense of this new format, which is not a very good one. I've found that with the Sort being on Newest to Oldest, I still have to scroll to the bottom, then click on page 1 to get to the newest posts. Now that I figured that out, I can keep up...

“I still have to scroll to the bottom, then click on page 1 to get to the newest posts.”
Bingo! That’s the detail I was missing. Clumsy but it works.
Thanks!

I posted it as a system glitch that they need to fix.
Nov-21-2023 12:48 PM
To me, this whole new format is a glitch.☹️
I wish they had left well enough alone.

You may have display issues due to the change over to a new platform. All the replies of this thread are still here. The navigation is different and is taking me some time to get used to it.

Yikes! I was afraid this was going to happen one day. 😯
