Any Hope for This New GS Truck Camper Group?
It's been a few weeks since the old forum was shut down and this new forum opened up, but I only see a few old members have joined and not really much for posts (20 total members as of the last few d...

I think the default order is that the original post appears at the top and if I am to draw any conclusion, the idea is that people will always be reminded about what the topic is about each time they come to the post. Then, the first actual post below the topic post is the newest post made by a member. That's how it works in my opinion. This might be one of the actual features I don't mind (though it does take a bit of an adjustment to get used to it). So often these threads go into rabbit holes that the original conversation is lost. That is kind of just human nature but at least folks will have a quick and easy way to see what the post is about each time they check in.
Oh... this is interesting! When you reply to someone else's post, it doesn't get inserted as the last post in the thread, at least with the default sort order. The reply appears after the post you replied to. That is interesting. In one sense, that is kind of nice but wow you gotta know that is what it is doing or your going to winder what happened to your post!

To insert the quote, you hit Reply and then click on the Quote Icon to actually insert the comment you are replying to in your post ( " it's the 5th icon from the left on the top of your new reply box). It's an odd extra step, but it works for now. Hopefully they can fix the software so insert quote is automatic.

Not sure I I care enough about being banned on this new forum - been posting on RV.net since 2002. I'm finding it more difficult to navigate multiple categories, and tracking what I want to read. The more times I come here, the less I like it. Technology seems to make itself more difficult rather than improve itself. Some websites even require a double sign in, and send a security code to my phone - which is troublesome if my phone is in the other room or in my truck, or wherever. This one, I have to sign in every time, and then search instead of just pick a subject and see the last posts. That could easily be my non-tech self as anything, but it is not simple, and I need simple. I often enjoyed reading the camping forum first thing in the AM, but now it's almost become a chore instead.
