First, check the settings on the left side. It might be set to "since my last visit" or something.  You can set it to "All Results."

And at both top and bottom of the list of the threads on that page are buttons to get to the second page, third page, etc.

That was it!  Thanks, +Missouri Swede and +NewtoGolf.  

Now to find how to reference someone by name here...

Also, I need to be sure to revisit this thread in a few months when I'm used to the new software.

Maybe it's me, but the search function is not very intuitive. If I type "My Swing (boogielicious)" which is the exact title of my My Swing thread, it doesn't come back with the thread.

Agreed. I searched this way on the old site and it usually worked well. Here, the My Swing thread you want could be many pages down the results. 

I suggested an enhancement on the other site features thread to include a link in the profile to their My Swing thread- like the Game Golf link will be there. Definitely useful for me as I enjoy browsing swing threads when I see comments in other areas.

New site has a very crisp, sleek look to it. I see no major problems, but I do have some questions on minor issues:

1. Both iacas and mvmac have darker text with excellent contrast in their sig lines. The Sigs of me and most other posters are faint and washed out. What's the secret for darker text, without putting everything in bold?

2. In Sigs, bullet items have a full  horizontal line space between them.  You two have less air between separate lines. What is the secret (for sigs and for posts in general).

3. Instructions mention that avatars have Facebook dimensions. Mine now looks very spread out left to right. Should the avatar be photo-shopped into a square image?

Thanks, W

See what I wrote in post #40 above (about 9 posts ago, 4th from the top of this page).  Is that "go to first unread post" what you want?

How do I do it on Android?

 "Enter" or "return" inserts a new paragraph while shift-enter or shift-return inserts a new line.

Yeah I would just upload it again, then the system has you crop it.

Same thing.  Just touch the dot or the star at the left side of the thread title.  (Just took this screenshot from my Galaxy tablet a couple of minutes ago, and it brought me to the first unread post in those threads.)

Not sure I can help you there.  About the only time I go to my profile is to change my avatar or signature or something.

Noticing that when I paste the URL for YouTube videos and Instagram that some are embedding and others aren't. Tweets seem to be fine. It's just been inconsistent for me.

Example from another user here. http://thesandtrap.com/forums/topic/84619-my-swing-bogeyaah/#comment-1135397

Test.

Overall it looks great.  Is there anyway to get the posts to fill the whole width all the time?  I'm running Windows 7 w/ the latest version of Firefox and the actual posts only use about 1/3 of the width of my screen which I find really inefficient (lots of vertical scrolling to read a thread).   On the right side at the top of each page is a column that contains "Posts, Images, Birthdays, etc") which I don't really care about - and that space is then blank as I scroll down.  Is there any way to turn that off?   

ps: It looks to me like it's one of the style sheet width settings.  If I narrow my browser window down, at some point that column is hidden automatically.  It's still annoying to me that I have to resize my browser every I come to the forum though...

It must just be you (or your browser).

    • Best Seasons of All Time | Data Golf Best round and event-level strokes gained performances since 1983.   Going back to 1983 adjusting for field strength, Woods has the top 6 seasons by strokes gained. from Data Golf Scheffler has the 7th  8th, 12th and 15th. Woods has three other seasons in the top 20.    Also notable is Rory's highest rated season in the 28th best season. 44 year old Jack Nicklaus has the 36th highest strokes gained season.
    • Hi Everyone,  i ordered a new Qi 35 Driver, 10.5*, Regular Flex Diamoana shaft. Received by Fed X on Thursday, June 4th.  Took to Precision Valley and had a "Jumbo Grip" installed.  Friday morning, headed to Claflin, Ks. and played 18 holes. Front 9 wasn't to bad but I had hit my budddy's Qi with better success. Finally got a little more accustomed to the new club. I shot a 50.  Back 9, I started hitting the driver really well with the Driver delievering longer and straight drives down the fairway.  On my last drive, it was about 230 off the tee. I shot a 53.  (We play for .10/hole; $1.; Birdie; $5 or an Eagle. I won $0.60)  I was tired and headed home. (46 miles one way to play this course but the yearly rate is very cheap. They also have grass greens instead of sand.) I pull my Golf cart with a trailer.My nearest course witrh grass greens  is 25 miles away. Saturday,  I had the iPhone in do not disturb. Finally took it off of DND and I had a text from my golfing buddy that he wanted to play Hays late afternoon. So, he came by, picked my up and we headed to Hays. I was tired from playing 18 holes Friday and was hoping I could play 9 holes and call it a day. At Hays, KS.. I started off pretty rough and just could't seem to relax enough to hit well. (I was planning of finishing the front nine and the go home. However, on hole number 8, it's a 322 yard par 4, and I was able to get on in 2 and 2 putt for a par. #9 hole is a 114 yard par 3 and I hit an 8 iron and landed on the west edge of the fringe for pin high. Chipped up and 1 putted for another par. Front nine = 53 Headed to the back 9. Eerything started to click and #10 = 6; #11=5, #12 = 5, #13 = 4, #14 (Par 5) on in 3 and 2 ptted for par [Driver, 3 wood, and 9 iron and 2 putts] , #15 Par 4; I had a 6, #16 Par 4, I had a, #16 I had a 5, #17 Par 5,  I had a 5. (Driver, 3 wood, 3 wood, 8 iron, 1 putt; #18 Par 3, I had a 4.     BACK 9:  I SHOT A 45!   Yes sir, I like this Driver. I would like to go out again tomorrow but will see how I feel. My goal is to shoot my age before I turn 80 year old.  So, backto Right handed clubs. Qi35 TaylorMade Driver, 3 Wood, Callaway Rogue; 5 Wood Callaway Rogue, Majek Hybrids 4-PW, A Wedge, Loft wedge (60*); White Hot Blade Putter.    When I decided to change to the new driver, I went back to playing right handed. My hybrids are failrly new and are easier to hit. I do carry a conventional 7 iron in case I ge into a bad rough.  I will keep you up to date as the summer moves on.   Blessings,  RetiredOldMan  
    • Went up to Erie to clean up some stuff with the distance wedges, short game, and driver.   Distance Wedges Ball forward in stance. Less handle high at set up. Weight more in balls of feet (feels like more in the toes).  Clubhead travels more up than around. Less arm and more pivot turn. Weight/pressure stays on lead foot.  Pivot around left leg. Center of chest goes forward and up. Not back and down. Hands move down not out, so clubhead can move from the inside out (gets neural path). Don’t pull hands down which causes out to in path and hosel out at ball. A bit of wrist flexion. Though better path and pivot will help this.  Short Game Similar to this wedges, ball is forward, except hands are higher at setup. Pivot with torso, keeping weight forward. Gravity brings the club back down to the ball. Body just pivot so the center goes forward and up, not back and down. Be patient on the transition and downswing. Let gravity take over.  Driver Feel like hands are slowing down at A2. Fast early and put on the brakes. Stay wide with right elbow.  Arms travel down chest, wrist flexion. Send the 10-deg text on the driver at the ground at 45 degree angle to target line.  Wrist flexion should feel like it continues through impact with hands and club exiting out right. Don’t drag hands across body and exit left.     
    • I definitely prefer medal play, but then again, as @StuM points out, it's what I grew up with (or, in my case, began playing golf with -- I took up the sport in my early 20s). Interestingly, the unforgiveness level of it is something I really like.  A friend of mine (a much better player than I am) won her club championship a few years ago.  At her club, this is contested as match play, and something she didn't like was that her opponent could get a triple bogey on a hole she birdied and only drop a hole in the match.  On the other hand, that's something I'm sure some people appreciate (especially the opponent who triple bogeyed that hole, I am sure). My club has a handful of tournaments it calls majors, and one is our Match Play tournament, which was my first big win (wow, over a decade ago).  Of course, I won whatever flight I was in, not the top flight.  Organizing and playing a large match play tournament, outside of the professional or top amateur ranks, is difficult.  I think our medal play play-in was one day, 18 holes, but then we had to self-schedule with some reasonable deadlines, measured in weeks for each round.  I think a flight with 16 people advancing to match play took a few months to resolve.  Nice to watch as the summer unfolded I suppose.  By contrast, our club championship is medal play, three rounds on three consecutive days (with a cut after two).  I won this (well, my flight within it) twice, and the second time, I managed to keep to a great gameplan:  out of 53 par attempts, I had putter in hand for 52 of them.  I think I began that tournament with a handicap of ~13 and having two full rounds (and most of a third) where I at least had a putt for par on every hole (excluding the single birdie across the three days).   Some of those par attempts were 40+ feet away, but having a putter in hand could limit the damage. A format that works well with both stableford and medal play is skins, either as the main event or as a side event;  even if you have a terrible first hole, you could potentially pick up skins at the remaining holes.  I was playing a tournament a month or so ago and a friend of mine, after a few holes, was clearly out of contention for the medal play portion, but he was in the skins game.  He very plainly was playing for the skins in a match-play style manner, attempting shots he'd never consider if he were trying to post a low total score for the day (I think he shot 108 or something).
