Hello folks. Only saw this news today. I completely missed all the kerfuffle but want to be able to continue to say hi to both places because there remain good people I like in both ??? camps???. I hope that is acceptable around here. May the Bruce be with you...
@whispered secret Excellent to hear. I will happily be dropping in as I can. I am glad so many have kept familiar names so I don't get too confused. Way too easy nowadays. 😁
I'll be much more chatty once thr chrome android samsung thing is fixed.good to see you all . I still feel sad its come to this but i appreate all the hard work going on to make every thing work here
Yes, that is annoying. From what I see, I think you can't stop it from the forum. I'm working to create that option and, in the case of not achieving it and everyone agrees that it is frankly annoying, I could edit it from the control panel I think. Meanwhile, maybe and if you want, you can send everything to spam and see your notifications from the web. A greeting.
@The Imposter Have you fixed it yet? I found I had to double click on the 'empty head' icon and then it worked. Empty head seemed somewhat appropriate!
@The ImposterIs the image format PNG or JPG? Try with another photo to find out if it's a forum or image issue? If you do not achieve anything you can send a message to greasylakeforus@gmail.com and I will try to help you.
As you can see: once berlintramp, always berlintramp. At my age, change is painful. So I made the wrench to come here, but it's the same old me 😼. If I can manage, I might have an avatar after a while, too.
Hi all, I'm finally here. Thanks to all who organised and put in all the hard work to get this thing going. Let's hope going forward that it's a great success.
I believe a lot of people have changed their previous usernames, so if I don't recognise you, it isn't intentional.
@riverdude4 All I did was pop in for a brief visit. Don't know what went on after I left, but I did read the official statements. They were very...eastern-bloc?
Go to your profile. Click on Edit and top left you'll see a picture of a camera. Tap this and images from your pictures on file will appear. Select one and save. The picture appeared on my profile page and to my relief by my name in Members.
Failed at the first hurdle! How do I upload a profile pic/avatar? I thought I had done it, but I just have a (rather lovely!) picture on my profile page!
@SteveInJoburg Way back when the other forum had it, and it used to neatly capture every new post since last visit. After upgrades this feature vanished, I think you could sort of set it up again with some adjustments but I never managed to do it. The highlighted dot next to each discussion at least showed which threads had new posts.
Good morning! Seems quite a few people joined while I was sleeping. I think I have everyone figured out, Mario is (not) Italian, Louisa is Silvia? Everyone else using GL names I think.
I will have a go at posting something more interesting, uploading a profile picture and maybe a few photos later. However, as most of you know, technology ain't my strong point!
Hi! I was Joshkitchen on GL. Not much difference in my username. Haven't posted on GL in a couple years though, I'm a BTX creature. Happy to be here - thanks to Adam (Buddhabone) for sending me the link. I wasn't aware of the drama!
Hey, can someone help me out? On my Samsung tablet, as soon as I type a space my onscreen keyboard shuts down and I need to reopen it. Only happening here on this new forum so presumably a setting thing of some sort. Any ideas?
A musician dies and goes to heaven. St. Peter welcomes him in, shows him around the joint, asks if there are any questions he can answer. The newbie points to someone walking in the distance. "Hey, that's Bono! When did Bono die?!"
St. Peter says, "oh, no, actually, that's God. He just THINKS He's Bono."
Hi everyone, as you can see my name on this forum is Mario Brega.
I've chosen that name because I'm currently watching Sergio Leone's For a Few Dollars More. I accept that the Kurt Russell as Wyatt Earp avatar doesn't make sense.
Anyway, any of you guys know of any Springsteen blogs? Hopefully someone will sign up and spam their website like mad.
Hi Gen, I hope someone will tell us how to organize, I'm constantly scrolling up and down the same threads, searching for replies. Using email notifications doesn't help much, or at least I don't know how to set them properly.

Feeling very sad, good luck and maybe see you again.
I'll be much more chatty once thr chrome android samsung thing is fixed.good to see you all . I still feel sad its come to this but i appreate all the hard work going on to make every thing work here
Hi Genevieve, know as Jen Jennie or jmw. Very scary.
Maybe his hair wasn't done.
Welcome, welcome, everyone!
Can't believe how incredibly active the new GL has become in just two days. I'm going to catch up and read it all!
Good to see Daisey here!
Hi guys.glitchy samsung . Im haopy Billy signed
I'm Kathy, formerly TMLE. A fresh start sounds nice.
Willow - that’s nice!
Good to see so many rocking up here.
Also, @Mario Brega, I love how you’ve persisted with the quasi-Italian identity ;-)
Howdy folks, BJ here!! Cheers for the invite aboard - looking forward to resuming usual business!
So nice to be here and so nice to see all you guys!
Yes! I did it. I had to double click on the 'empty head' and then choose the photo. Decided on Oscar instead of Bruce...
Ann, I don't remember quite how I did it, but I think I double-clicked on the photo and then on save???
But here's a question to those in the know: Why does every comment and like to my posts turn up in my mail account? What do I have to do to stop that?
Just a test post. Keyboard still disappears on phone.
Thank you @ibbhomero . This place is already beginning to feel like home.
Now, if I could only manage to get an avatar...
Hi, I’m Karen. Used to be kburke on GL, and I didn’t post much 😂
From small things (big things one day come). I've spend a very pleasant lunch break on here. Now back to the grind.
Hi! Used to call myself The Boss. Now I've decided to start anew as The Imposter.
Happy to see it growing and looking like a real board. @ibbhomero your work is amazing. All of you who came here, I hope you will all be entertained.
Rizla here. I fancied a change, and Mavis Grind is such a good name. 😊
With a little help from you guys, I made it! Now I have to get used to the new avatar. Feels strange, just like being here.
As you can see: once berlintramp, always berlintramp. At my age, change is painful. So I made the wrench to come here, but it's the same old me 😼. If I can manage, I might have an avatar after a while, too.
Well, here we all are! Hope everyone's well. Thanks for setting this up. Love to all, Jon

Does anyone know whether there is a setting so that only posts since your last visit display?

Hello, Joshua.
@Bosstralian I have no idea and I'm not finding any helpful tips with google.
Hello everyone!
Hey, can someone help me out? On my Samsung tablet, as soon as I type a space my onscreen keyboard shuts down and I need to reopen it. Only happening here on this new forum so presumably a setting thing of some sort. Any ideas?
@Louisa Might as well see if it works.
And yes I did start typing Silvia at first 😁
Oh happy happy day!!!
@Louisa don't go running off and getting lost amongst the arroyos and ravines. We need females in our revolution.
I'm still the lost sheep ...
If someone posts a direct reply, it's only visible there, and not after the last post on the thread?
What do we need to do to get banned? Say something nice about Bono?
If not, at least I have a cool name.
You sparked a revolution. I hope we'll build something strong from the ruins.
Am I banned yet?
Easy access to gifs
I'm also happy we've got good emojis now - I might even start using 😛

See, we are all posting. Good to see you all.
Right on.
Hi, Ann here. Let's see how this goes.
