For a second there I thought you said “fingering.”
lol
Seems like the whole format changed. Rarely check in these days. What happened?
I’m pretty sure the whole format changed. I think that is what happened.
This is pretty awful forum software.
Dang guys, guess what I just realized (while chopping vegetables for stir fry)? I realized with the old site now gone I have lost my entire debraD private collection. And I mean the good ones. The ones that are so good they couldn’t even be posted in the forums. Damn you T-Nation!
Which is why you always make backups!
I think some of us “old guys” need a “how to” post. I miss simple options like “quote” 
I do like the thumbs up though, much much better than the oft used “best post” we used to see.

You can highlight and click the “Quote Reply” button.
Or use BBCode (what the forum was before):
[quote="some author"]Quoted Text Here[/quote]
Which renders:
Or use markdown quotes:
> This is a quote
Which renders:
This is a quote

I put up this thread in Forum Feedback.
Covers new threads, replies, quotes, Flags, Likes, Bookmarks, and some other stuff to get everyone familiar with the new system.
For those following along, my mom got 2 quotes to install 160 lf of perimeter drain in her (gravel) crawlspace. The first guy wanted $9,0000 and the second guy wanted $8300 but would reduce it to $7,500 hundred if she agreed then and there. Asked how long it would take, each guy helpfully answered they would be done in two days. F’in bastards.
Looks like I’m going to be hiring a couple undocumented Democrats from Home Depot and spending a bunch of time on my knees.
Again.

Well hello there!!!
I don’t visit much anymore as I hate this new format
Me too.
I keep getting notifications about threads that went dead five years ago.
Man, no kidding! Some odd shit going on.
It’s almost as if this new format is so dead that the mods are trying to attract people by posting “interesting” years-dead threads.
It seems to be when pictures you’ve uploaded in the past move from the old format to the new format. Which I assume is from in house to cloud servers, like office 365.
Pretty much this. If you posted something and were getting updates on that thread, moving threads offsite would trigger updates.
It’s sweet, though, I’ve read 4 or 5 hilarious old threads. Like the Food Purveyor one in PWI, just lol…

You do realize how conspiratorial that sounds, right? Like, please tell me you don’t actually think that’s happening, because then you’d be talking like a crazy person.
The suggested topics are a feature of the new system. It may need to be fine-tuned/improved in terms of what’s displayed, locked, etc., but it’s not any kind of trick for activity. And I believe they’re working on the notification system in general.
Not for nothing, but you had 5 posts in all of 2015, the last in March, and 8 posts in all of 2014. You weren’t visiting (or at least participating) long before this new site.
Opinions are fine, but it is weird that guys who were essentially lurkers feel so bummed about a site they couldn’t be bothered actually being a part of all this time.
