  1. There is also a link at the bottom right that says the same thing "Unread Content", great addition IMO, I used to have to scroll all the way back to the top to get to the link which was a PITA on a touch screen. When I first used the Unread Content it asked about making it my default stream, said yes but not sure what that did.
  2. Ah yes, seen it, thanks David.
  3. You can set your notifications in Account settings. Just click the screen name next to your avatar on the upper right, then Account settings, then there is a link on the right hand side for Notification settings. Edit: As David pointed out, this sets board notifications not the browser's push notifications.
  4. I have a Kubota 18hp with 5' belly mower, it pulls 4' implements pretty good, I have a bush hog, box blade, and a boom to pick up some heavier items. It's definitely underpowered for heavy use, but it does well on my food plots. I do suggest you get a loader and if possible, get one you can park (the loader) easily, it helps when working in tight places. I also suggest a ballast box vs putting liquid in the tires, because if you work on your lawn, as I do the extra weight will make ruts.
  5. Same can be done here, just different. The filters across the top gives you all things you mentioned, and at least in chrome, I use tabs which have all my favorite forums open to jump between them. The only plus TT had was posting pics directly in your post from your device, ATM that can be done here but space is limited.
  6. It will take some getting used to but the features are there. If you look at the bottom left, you can go to the topic heading, so if you are looking at say classifieds you can go to those listings. On the bottom right, you can go to the unread list. If you use the back arrow, the now read post is gone, but if you go forward, you can go back to it unless you clicked on another post. The best thing to do is explore, click on stuff in until you get used to it.
  7. You will want to center the object, in this case the dog. If you know how to crop your photo, then crop it so he(?) is centered with enough space around the center to account for the cut corners. Be sure to save the original so you can test it a few times in case it doesn't turn out the way you like. Edit: the upload allows you to crop and resize your picture, so use it to center it as above. I just did Yoda from a larger picture:
  8. The object doesn't need to be round, just needs enough white space around it to force it into the middle. Some of the older avatars actually fit quite well in the circle, I like it.
  9. It uploaded the image to TGO, there is now a copy on the TGO server. David may yet change his mind, but earlier he had said he wasn't inclined to allow picture uploads unless they were on the trading post. Maybe he can set a limit per user, more for benefactors of course.
  10. I'm starting to like the round avatars too, but it cuts some of the bigger ones off on the corners.
  11. David commented on this before the upgrade, he said no; only in the trading post. Maybe he hasn't got to this setting yet.
  12. Here are a couple of quirks to chase down when you guys get the chance: Internet Explorer v11.0.30: The Bell and Envelope Icon on the top right as well as the + and drop down on the "create" link are missing. The popup help/heading shows up when you hover over them but its blank otherwise. Does show up in Chrome on tablet and phone. Internet Explorer v11.0.30: The square selection box does not show a checkmark when you select it, it does have a slight glow to it though. The round ones do show the dot as well as glow. Due to the glow, it may be selected but there is no indication of it. This is not an issue on my tablet or phone (Chrome), not sure about the PC version.
  13. Yea, big upgrade to the mobile interface, I like. Definitely like this upgrade, a much better way to view "unread" and the editor seems to work real well. I did lose a post though, I posted submit and it just went into the mist. But it may be the background processes or something.
  14. http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/ David: not the one that says "Get More. Do More. " the one that says "PLEASE READ! You are viewing the TGO Trading Post" BTW, do you want to list glitches here or on the support page? I have a couple other items.
  15. Ok, I see what you guys are saying. I was looking at the site on my PC and tablet and they are real close in appearance so I figured it had set it to desktop view on my tablet and phone. The old site was real generic in mobile view, this one is actually viewable that way. David: I did notice one thing: On the page ..../forums, it has the non-benefactor warning as if you are in the classified section even though all you are doing is looking at the forum headings.
  16. According to this site: Safari Help Just press the round arrow (refresh?) and hold it, then it will bring up the menu to request desktop site.
  17. What browser are you using?
  18. You should be able to request the desktop site, on chrome in the upper right there are three dots to get you a screen which has that on it. Some sites (old one) had it at the very bottom of the screen, both do the same thing.
  19. So far not too bad, the "remember me" button doesn't seem to respond right now but that may be on my end, some processes are blocked by the firewall such as java.
  20. Check Craigslist, I've seen them a bit cheaper.  I haven't dealt with any so check them out before you commit.   Here is a listing in your AO: http://knoxville.craigslist.org/grq/5529831044.html
  21. Pretty much.  
  22. I am sure there are some, but many of the ones I heard about had an element in them that turned them from a justified shooting into a murder/manslaughter, such as a kill shot, shooting at a running suspect (outside the home) or laying in wait for a burglar lured into the garage etc.    I do have an issue with the LEO part though, now hear me out;   And I believe this has happened; A no-knock warrant is served on the wrong house, occupants return fire and get charged.  I think this is BS, if I have no reason to believe that the police are at my door why do I not have the right to defend myself??  There have been too many situations where the home invaders used the "Police" line to get the occupants to open the door.  If I am in the business where there is a possibility of having a warrant served on me exists, then that would be a risk I would have to take, one way or the other but as a law abiding citizen there should be something to protect us from these kinds of situations.  I understand protecting our LEOs while performing their duties, and I am all for charging anyone who knowingly fires upon one of them, but at the same time there should be something protecting us as well.  Specially in the cases where a mistake was made on the LEO side, the penalties should all be on their side as well.
  23. I personally don't worry about reloads and modified weapons.  I reload most all my rounds, though I do purchase some now and then, but I don't load them to be any hotter, or lethal than factory, just more consistent/accurate. Unless you are using something way out of the ordinary I don't think that will be an issue.  And as far as forensics go, I highly doubt that the evidence will be swayed much by a round going 1000fps vs another going  1800fps, and they can recreate my load easily since I can tell them exactly what bullet, powder and primer I used (they should have my spent cases).  And lets be honest, no prosecutor is going to go  all out to get you if there is even a little doubt to be had of your innocence.  And unless there were some real fishy circumstances surrounding the shooting then it will never get to trial.  I think all we need to worry about is making sure we make a good decision whether to shoot or not and making sure we practice to hit what we aim for, the rest will sort itself out.
  24. The problem I see with long term storage of electronic devices such as cell phones, tablets or PCs is that they need to be charged pretty regularly.  So burying them, and storing in layers upon layers of metal boxes will become tedious, and sooner or later maintaining them will fall by the wayside killing the batteries.  I don't know the max shelf life of new batteries, but for those with electronics with removable batteries may want to consider a couple of spares.
  25. I guess it depends on the level of protection you need, sun spot vs nuclear etc I am not versed on what actual waves are emitted by either. These guys offer these: http://techprotectbag.com/ They fry a cell in a microwave, but again not sure how that compares to a nuclear EMP. Of course you will have to do your homework because there are many sites selling these type of bags and faraday cages that may of not done theirs. Many sites advertise them as if they were doomsday protection when all they are, are Mylar bags. http://www.disasterstuff.com/store/pc/EMP-Bags-c128.htm
