This might be a silly question but I was wondering how to delete conversations? Do they go away after a short time or what? I'm a noob.
Follow along with the video below to see how to install our site as a web app on your home screen.

I miss that as well. Seems great otherwise.I will miss the function of being able to see who is viewing an individual thread.
Dear Websleuths Members and Guests,
We have looked forward to this day for a long time.
We just delivered a brand new bouncing software platform with all kinds of cool things we could only dream about before.
Please do not get scared. Almost everything is the same and those things that have changed have changed for the better.
The first thing you should try is our new way of sending Private Messages. PM's are now called "Conversations". You can invite up to 5 other people (with you equals 6 people on a conversation) and the conversation looks exactly like a thread on a public forum. However, it is not public, no one in management can see it, and the only people who can read the conversation are those who are actually participating.
One of the biggest changes is going to be how we handle putting members on timeout.
Your timeouts are all done by a point system. This will take away any guesswork.
You are allowed up to 5 points in a 30 day period before you are timed out. The time out length depends on the amount of points you end up. Say you have 4 points and you do something really horrible like call someone stupid. Calling someone stupid could be worth 4 points. Now all of a sudden you have 8 points and that means you get a 5 day time out.
Please do not hold me to these exact numbers. I'm trying to remember and to be honest, my memory sucks more than a sucker fish in a sucking contest.
You will get warnings and your warning is assigned a point value. Let's say being snarky is two points. Those two points will stay on your user name for 30 days then the points drop off.
No one should be getting any points right?
Please remember if you get 5 points or more in 30 days then you are timed out for three days. As the points against you go up so does the time you spend I timeout.
You can solve the problem of being timed out by behaving and reading our Terms of Service.
There is more to tell you and I'll be coming back and answering any questions you may have.
We ask for your patience as we are all on a learning curve here.
Finally, thanks to Dave our IT guy for doing such a good job and making sure everything ran smoothly and he was able to get us up and running 24 hours earlier than expected.
OK fire awa y my true crime angels.
I apologize if these questions have been answered -- I can't find a way to search just this thread. So I guess that's my first question: how do I do that?
Question 2: Is there a way to unwatch threads without having to literally click on each thread and then click "unwatch"??? This could take me forever.
For instance, you remember somebody mentioning cupcakes in this thread a couple of days ago (note: this may or may not have actually happened). On the previous site, you could search just this thread for the word "cupcakes" and find all the posts containing that word. ETA: To clarify, I can find a way to search ALL threads, but not just one.Search a thread? What does that mean? Could you please give an example. Then when your question is answered hopefully I get it lol.
Watched forums "you are not watching any". Huh? Right now I'm watching this one lol. So how do I add?
I find that interesting- how many people hate the color on here and how it bothers there eyes. I loved how clean taptalk was with its color, which is why I think I am responding this redesign. I wonder if this has to do with our eye register contrast over time. Personally, I never like using "night more" aka when the background goes dark. But, I know for some people this is much easier for them. I wonder if it has to do with ones ability to perceive a wide color spectrum, the brightness of the tablet or computer they are using, age, and vision (near or far sighted). I do believe on your computer you can change the contrast and brightness (as well as on other devices), so this might be useful, although it may be problematic if you are clicking back and forth from various sites.Please tell me there is a way to change the color settings. These are horrendous and bother my eyes. This is why I always used the WS2016 color scheme and never used tapa-whatever. HELP!
I believe you click the option to leave conversation.This might be a silly question but I was wondering how to delete conversations? Do they go away after a short time or what? I'm a noob.

Prefixes are being fixed as we speak. I also agree with all of the comments regarding orange on orange. That WILL be changed but it will not be for probably a few days. Sorry, A change as big as this creates lots of issues and they must be prioritized but I promise that color issue is near the top.

I apologize if this question has already been asked:
When I copy and post a link to an article the url doesn’t post. Instead, the title of the article posts. Is this the way the platform works or is there something I’m doing wrong?
Not just the orange on orange. Also the black on grey just doesn't work, at least not on my screen.
I guess I should have been a beta tester and I’d know the answer, but how do I edit a post and how long do I have to do so. I don’t see and “edit” button. Thanks!

You have the same time as you did at Websleuths which is one hour. Let me log in as my alter ego and I can tell you where to look to edit your post. BRB
