    links to previous threads on same subject

    Maybe I missed this, but: On old system at bottom of threads about a subject, there was a list of older threads on same subject that could be clicked on to view. I don't see this now. Is this feature still there but accessed differently?Please let me know how.
    Thanks

    I've noticed that too, it was a pretty handy feature to reference older threads on the same subject. Maybe they can bring that feature back?

      I miss that feature too, but I thought it was just me. Oh, wait, I know -- the removal of those links is a new FEATURE.

          William, Gerry and Terry,

          Basically with the software upgrade, it was like starting all over again. None of the previous add-on's and options carried forward. Wish an upgrade was as easy as ordering a new Corvette, but unfortunately there are a gazillion options to configure in the vBulletin forum software. What made it even more difficult was, a lot of the many options changed names and locations in the configuration menu. The check list left many unanswered feature activation questions.

          Appreciate you letting us know about the similar links. John searched for that function, finally found it and turned it on.

          William, I don't recall a "site manager". Please describe the function and where it was.

          Gary

            Maybe I used wrong term "site" manager. Thought that is our guy who deals with these site problems-you?I'll check to see if the feature I asked about is now in place.

              Gary,
              I,m confused. Is this feature now available or not? I went to several threads and saw no links to previous similar subjects.Please elaborate.
              Thanks

                William,

                Gary Chesnut finally found where to turn that feature on. It is now turned on and I hope that it works correctly. Let us know if you don't see it where you normally would. I haven't had time to test it out yet.

                  William,

                  Similar threads are now working. We finally found the right two (2) switches to flip.
