  1. With the new drastic changes to our look, I wanted to get your thoughts on it. The poll is simple, but if you'd like to expand on your perspective, feel free to post in this thread. Cheers, criticism, and thoughts are welcome. If you are having problems or something isn't working properly, feel free to post in here so I can address it. Thanks!
  2. Welcome to the latest edition of Lambo Power! Fifteen years in the making, we are proud to bring you a whole new look with the same great attitude and content you've come to love about our site. This post is to help you get familiar with the new look and feel. There is always resistance to change, but that never makes us better. Complacency kills, and we want to make sure we're moving forward and around for another 15 years. This guide should help you understand and be able to utilize the new features for our site. The images provided may slightly differ from your own, as when in the site is offline and in admin account, things just look a bit off sometimes. Let's quick start with the obvious new change, the scrolling photos. This will cycle through clickable buttons to new pages. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Currently, it has the new welcome banner, second a State of Affairs, for a brief rundown on the site and its direction. Finally, there is a page about our new VIP membership. With the rest of the board, let's start from the top. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ We have our namesake on the site. To the right, you'll see some icons. Mine may vary a bit from yours at this moment as the Admin position allows for more access. These are as follows: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1. Notification bell - Click it, and a drop down section shows you which items are read and unread. Someone quoted you in a post? Responded to a thread you started? You'll get notified and can click to it see a summary of it here. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ At the top right of the dialogue, you'll see a cog symbol with "Notification Settings" if you click that, you'll be brought to a settings page. Here you can customize your notifications. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Here, as an example, using Google Chrome as your browser window, you can set it to have pop-up notifications on your desktop (for desktop usage). Want an email summary each day of threads and posts you are involved in? Not a problem, that'll be in here. Just select the sliders to on and off for specific features that appeal to you. If you really want to see how you can be updated on activity, take a couple of minutes looking through this page. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Next Image: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2. Mailbox symbol: Here is where you'll send and receive messages. Click it once, and again you'll find a drop-down dialogue to give you a quick summary of your inbox and recent messages. At the bottom, click "Go To Inbox." This new page has changed than our previous set up. On the left, it will have short visualizations of each message, usually with whomever latest reply (their avatar) and a few words of text. There is also the date from when it was received. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ You can sort and filter these messages fairly easily, most won't need to utilize that feature, but it is there if you'd like to. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Under the clickable text "Home", you'll find INBOX, a Settings Cog and Compose New button. For Inbox options, you'll find new messages, saved drafts and new folders you may wish to create. The Settings Cog allows you to Mark all as read and/or empty your inbox. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Compose New, will open a new dialog window. Here you can send a message to a fellow member. Thankfully, there is an autofill feature with names, so if you can remember the first letter or two of who you want to contact, you can select from the names that drop down. Give it a second to sort through the 100,000+ names, it's not instant, but it does work. There is a rich text editor in the message area, so you can customize or add features to your messages, as well as add uploaded media to it. Those include pictures, videos, etc. This includes the new way of uploading photos and pictures (a long time complaint). Drag into the area or the traditional file select is available for you to use here. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Next up is the "Search bar" which includes "What's New, Browse and Activity menus. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Next Image: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Click in the search window to type what you're looking for. This will allow you to narrow down forums, exact matches or content that "contains" specified results. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "What's New" This has a drop-down menu offering two new options for our site. The Gallery and Exclusive Content. Clicking it will bring you to a new area where we will be posting new and original content for the Lambo Power community. This is set up very similar to a sub-forum where you'll find the blog post, reviews, and interviews as they become available. We'll be sure to let you know when they are posted! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Gallery, this section is a place where if you want to have a collection of images uploaded you are able too. This compiles these here so everyone can see what you've got saved. This section is easy to access eye-candy, but only as big as members choose to make it. It's powerful and informative, but not utilized to its capacity currently. We'll see how everyone participates and decide should we keep it. There is also a Gallery for our Exclusive section. It will pertain directly to our original content. Currently, it's a placeholder while we continue to create in anticipation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Browse: Click this and you'll reroute to our home page, landing on the forum directory. Straight forward. Same will occur should you select Forums. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Next Image: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ History of Lambo Power: After 15 years there is hardly a shortage of information or goodness about our site. It's a boilerplate on our site, and why we are here. It's a quick read, but good information. Also a cool new feature, here we have statistics about the site. How many topics, posts, members, who are online, most ever online and newest member. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Next Image: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Next Image: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Staff: Here you'll find a shortcut to those of us here that keep the site going. Shoot one of the Moderators or Admins and message should you have any problems. This just lets you know who here you can contact. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Next Image: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Online Users: This just shows you who is currently on the site and how long ago. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Activity: Click this drop down and you'll see plenty of options. All Activity will give you a rundown of everything. Just scroll down till you see something you want. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Next Image: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ My Activity Stream: This takes a couple minutes to set up, but highlight this, a second submenu pops up with all the parameters. At the bottom of that menu is "Create New Stream." On a new page are all the options for you to build a custom stream of detailed information. If you are looking to get specific notifications, you can add specific Tags here to collect them. As we continue to use Tags this will reinforce the available information and become more robust in time. Take a few minutes to get familiar with the options in here if you want to pursue particular data. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Unread Content: Quite possibly the best way to navigate information on our site. This brings up a stream of, you guessed it. Unread Content since your last visit. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ At the top of this section, you'll see plenty of parameter selection options. You can set date ranges, content types, posts by specific people, etc. Take a couple minutes to review these if you are looking to have more than just the generic setting. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Content I Started: If you're interested in only seeing posts and reactions to threads you have posted and created, this is your home base. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Next Image: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Search: Just a longer, secondary way to get to the Search page. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Unread Content: The quickest and most underutilized feature. This makes checking the site so much easier. You'll be happy you had if you've never used this before, or check the site regularly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Site as Read: If you're overwhelmed with all the new stuff you missed, click this and you'll be "caught up" per say. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Bottom of the Page. Here we have a short little "About Us" and link to our History of Lambo Power again, and a link to our Privacy Policy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Social Media: With the site relaunch we'll now be able to focus a little more on reinvigorating our community through "new to us" social media channels. Links to all those accounts are just a click away. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Theme and Contact Us. For those of you who wish to use a different (older) look to the site, click the Theme text for a drop-down menu to appear. Here you can select from Matter (previous site version) Lambo Power 2.0 (current) and Default (plain) PIC 28 theme for using the site. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Contact Us, if you have any question or need something. This is just another avenue for you to reach us. IN A POST: The posting and creating functions similarly to our last version, so there is a level of comfortable familiarity for those of us resistant to change. A couple quick cheats though. At the bottom, you'll see an option to skip to the next unread top. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ And as well as ways to share the post and topic to various social media channels should you so see fit. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
