Advertisments on the site are normally linked to similar content you have viewed, dating sites, dogging sites, or Grindr..
I banned you because of your user name, it screams spam, what a nugget..
All the sites topics, and data are getting rebuilt behind the scenes... I slimmed the ferret section down into one category, nothing changed, there just at the back of the que.. once its complete they will show again..
Top left select activity stream, you can choose the default streams OR create your own based on what you want to see..
i.e Topics, posts you have replied in, certain members, its quite handy actually
Errrrr not 100% using that feature myself, if you follow someone you can then basically get notifications of all the topics they start, or replies, etc
There is no delete, you enable or disable to suit. Everyones different, but I prefer an email notification if I have a message or if I have started a topic and receive replies.
They should arrive back at some point as I have moved them into this category to simplify things, once all the topics are rebuilt, etc, etc they should show again.
I've put off upgrading for 2 year, but at some point it needed to be done. I can change the overall look, once everythings fully updated and stabilised.
I've changed the default notification settings now. You can also alter these in your settings.
Default for emails is now only when you get a message OR someone quotes a post you made...you can change all of this to your own liking though.
The new forum defaults to no signature, but I can enable it, to be honest I didn't think many people used signatures anymore..
