Prime, and everyone from XterraNation.....I know it seems like we have stampeded into your home in the middle of the night! Thank you guys for the warm welcome. I've been an active member of TheNewX since 2010, and look forward to getting to know all of you. To my fellow TheNewX refugees, I'm so glad to see all of you. You guys are the only reason I've been able to keep my Xterra running for 230,000 miles!

Doesn’t feel like that at all. We are welcoming all with open arms. It’s only going to get better from here. Welcome aboard.

So, I know it’s a big ask from a noob. But, one of my biggest gripes from the TNX “update” was they killed the home page that had the Truck of the Month, and Truck of the Year.

It was such a cool thing to log in and see a big ol’ Photo of those rigs...... particularly when it is yours.

While I think it is awesome to see my buddy Dave’s rig with all his lights on morphing into others who I don’t know yet...... how would y’all feel about a monthly photo contest to have in that spot, for the following month?

I totally get it if ya don’t. Just thought I’d ask the powers that be what ya think.....

BTW, I feel like @Prime @kirk and @Fromfrontier2Xterra are the only ones who get any input ..... if I’ve forgot someone, my apologies.

Totally something we've been kicking around the office floor. Stay tuned.

Appreciate the feedback and this is definitely something we’ve been working on and discussing logistics behind the scenes. It is coming, don’t worry. Just working out the finer details.

As for input and edits, @JeffPro4x and @Muadeeb are here and working as well, trust me. I know my name pops up quite a bit as I work on the road and this passes my time away from home. So, please don’t set that as the standard. This is my family away from family. :)

More details on TOTM coming soon.

Another refugee here, thanks for having me. I have been poking around over here the last few days and it seems pretty chill. I wasn't a big poster at thenewx but I used the site almost daily. It seems like a baron waste land over there now, just a few tumble weeds blowing through now and then. Maybe one day I will even get around to creating a build thread here. Looking forward to the new home, hopefully more of us refugees can make our way to the ad free mobile friendly world you guys have over here.

Welcome. We hope all members transition and see the greener grass. Whether lurking or posting, ads are no bueno.

Not sure where to post this, but in the "alert preferences" all of the boxes are checked, but I am not getting an alert when someone mentions me with "@"... like @Fromfrontier2Xterra did here https://www.xterranation.org/index.php?threads/pinion-angle-shims.8921/#post-485125

BTW, how does one one link to a single post, instead of the whole thread?
I’m not smart enough to answer this. I know push notifications are being worked on which should take care of the first part (I believe).

The second part I defer to @Prime or @Muadeeb

On mobile, again, in landscape, each post has a # on it. If you click that number it generates a link to that specific post.

As far as notifications, right now all we have is email notifications. You should be getting emails for all of your selected actions. Check your junk/spam folders.

I guess, what I meant was..... I don’t get alerts in the little alert notification thingy at the top right..... not email..... I don’t do that.... lol

I'm kinda curious, you have any count going on how many new members gained from the TNX fallout? I can't tell but it looks huge, maybe at least say 20+ new members in the span of a week?

Seems to have breathed new life into this place, hopefully it will sustain itself. I noticed some forum areas that hasn't had new content in years are getting new threads and posts.

your mention of my name came thru as an alert for me ;-) LOL

maybe a mention by a mod/admin doesn't work?

I was getting subscribed to every thread I replied to even though that wasn't selected. I had to select and deselect them and save it to get that fixed. Just a glitch I guess.

x2.... Been curious myself!
We've had about 70 new registrations in the past week. That does not count how many people had accounts previously, but were inactive. Our active user base about tripled.

Heh. Only the admins have that ability. It usually gets changed as a playful jibe or to go hand and hand with joke from an event. Keep doing what you’re doing and I’m sure it may get changed from the norm. ;)

I'd like to thank all the XN peoples over here for taking us in during our time of struggle. It is much appreciated and feels more like home did than the new TNX "upgrade" ever did.

I'd also like to encourage ALL of the TNX refugees to purchase a supporting membership. I'd imagine that if just 25% of the refugees bought a supporting membership ($35.00/year) that would go a long way towards helping with supporting our migration and continue to help keep the lights on at XNHQ. It will also help maintain XN's independence from the AutoGuide/VerticalScope Overlords who've razed our former home.

EDIT:

OMG EDIT works!!!! BEST DAY EVER!!!

I didn't realize the above had already been stated by a few others, but that doesn't mean its content should have any less weight!
