Fair enough. Also something I noticed, when I post a reply and submit it, it then kicks me back out to the Forums list.

It's a forum look and layout setting you can modify in your profile. New users will have it on by default. Old users (we already have old users... that escalated quickly...) can make the change in their profiles.

Gmail doesn't really like your emails.

Well, that's Gmail's problem. I can't help if it rejects the way Tapatalk forges a header when it does a broadcast email.

The logo in the top right is now replaced with Chinese characters for router/switch/firewall. They look pretty cool, especially the ones for router and the last one for firewall.

Added a slew of new smileys.  :awesome: :partay: :)) C:-) :glitch: :matrix: :pub: :cheers: :drama: :excited: :not_worthy: :wub:

If you find another that you want, post the image and I'll add it if it's not dangerous, illegal, sick, insane, or obscene.

Gotta say already loving the site, layout, and especially color scheme much more than the old networking-forum (feel kinda bad for saying that, really liked that place)

Thats not Tapatalk, the initial Welcome mail does the same thing. You might wanna look into sourcing 'official' emails from the actual domain and not some gmail-address :)

Another possibly stupid question - can we use attachments? I can't seem to find the option.

the WYSIWYG editor looks like it's goofing the attachments menu.

nah I had it off, when I turned it on it magically let me expand the typing zone but didn't affect the lack of option to attach anything

Also a grim finding. I can't find this site via google whatsoever. googled

network forums
networking forums
networking-forums

guess what the old place is still there.

I know you said that SEO is not usable on this - but I'm taking that's just the name of the plugin, not search engine optimisation in general??!!?!

Also think someone with lots of reddit cred should hit that place up on our behalf. I hardly ever go to reddit so not sure if I will get pelted with rotten tomatoes if I do and/or even get noticed by anyone or anything.

Finally, dunno how they feel about this, but is there any way of reaching out to network engineering section of stack exchange for some cross promotion?

If you google "site:networking-forums.com" it seems like google has already crawled a couple of the pages, it could take a while to get higher up in the results

I think it'd just get pulled as spam. Ideally we'd have some unique thread/discussion that we could post a link to.
