Looks great!

Did the "Garage" pages not survive the upgrade? These were the short Bio pages for our vehicles. Not a big deal to me, just wondering.

These were moved into albums along with associated text.

Has anyone found a way to get our original names put back on? Looks like many of us have “SMB” tacked onto our handles.

Fixed.

Would it be possible to have old URL links to sportsmobileforum threads continue working? The old links should forward to your new forum URLs.

For example, I would like to see DIY TransferFlow Fuel Tank Install
properly forward me to the new URL: DIY TransferFlow Fuel Tank Install

Thanks for flagging this - fixed now.

They are now called "conversations". Click on the envelope icon near your profile name and picture at the top screen right of the brown bar on a forum page. Then choose "show all" for old conversations (pm's) or start a new conversation.

While you're there, you can now upload a larger profile pic for your avatar. In your case, click on the "DO" (abbreviation for doublevan 2) picture next to your profile, click "Edit", then upload your favorite picture and crop it to suit your avatar. Here's my example:

OK, gonna take some time to figure this out.

Not sure how else to explain it...?
-Click on the picture of the envelope next to your profile picture on the main banner, top right.
-Mouse/hover over the "show all" text in red
-Presto: old conversations appear

That has been answered in post #27 of this thread by @Normal_Dave.

As long as you can answer this question accurately...I'd say you're good to go.

Hey folks,
Thanks for the forum and all the effort to make it work and look good.
I’m having difficulty with viewing of photos in some posts, not all though.

In-line, it looks like this. There are obviously photos to see, but I can’t see them.
Is it me, my settings, my ad-blocker?

Thanks for the help!

It's not your ad blocker. I don't see those images either on that page (Popping my top)

I believe some older images did not make it through to our new version of the forum. I see this with many of the old forum posts. Perhaps it's the case with all the "gallery" images? Maybe the RV Life hosts can look into this?

In this case,

A nice shot of the condition of the top after giving the van a bath

In this case I see that the image link in the HTML is "/proxy.php?image=http%3A%2F%2Fsportsmobileforum.com%2Fgallery%2Fimages%2Fupload%2F34d4fc084eaa34c583baa48524303668.jpg&hash=4bcd4067a20aeccf2c1a4eaa2bae6756" which probably means the image link was originally a "gallery" image at h t t p://sportsmobileforum.com/gallery/images/upload/34d4fc084eaa34c583baa48524303668.jpg back in the old days -- but now this image link no longer works with the new RV Life version of sportsmobileforum.com

Sadly even Internet Archive doesn't have a copy of the old sportsmobileforum.com

So, yes, Janet H any chance we can restore these old "gallery" images?
