In the past days, we've been working to update the forum to a new software platform and we've been offline. Welcome back! The new forum software is powered by Xenforo and there are some new features and functions. We're still tweaking things so please be patient.

There are many new features and I encourage you to wander around, test things out and then visit your profile and do some updating. Please keep in mind that changes and adjustments are still being made and so views will become more refined over the next few days.

Update your profile:
  • Consider uploading a new avatar (little pic next to your posts). The new site accommodates larger images and old avatars are looking a little tired. Avatars will automatically resize - choose a good one!
  • Update your signature if needed
  • Add a profile banner - larger image that displays on your profile page
Mobile viewing
The site runs well on small screens. Try it out on the road, and use your regular login - no app required. Set a bookmark for the site on mobile for fast access and look for push notifications (coming soon) to stay up to date.

Thread marking:
The forum remembers what you have already read and will display new unread threads as bolded or when you click into an ongoing thread, takes you to unread content BUT: You may need to Mark a forum "read" for this to work correctly moving forward. The conversion could not "remember" what you have already seen and so initially all threads may appear as unread. To do this, open a forum and look for the link at the top of the list of threads to "Mark Read". Alternatively, use the 'Mark Forums Read' link at the top of the page to mark all.

Classifieds: The classifieds pages are still offline. We have a new classifieds system in the works and it's not quite ready to go live.

There are many things still being tweaked and fiddled with and you will continue to see some changes but we wanted to get back online as soon as possible - thanks in advance for your patience.

Still under construction:
New Forum 101 Thread (how to navigate the board and configure accounts)
More items as they are discovered
Classifieds


Post up if you have questions - we're all learning :)

Forums Consolidated:

For many years we've had members posting over at The Redwood Owners Forum and the Crossroads Owners forum, with much of that content and in many cases, account duplication here at the Thor forums.

With the software update, we've consolidated these boards to keep all that awesome info in one place and to reduce member confusion.

Accounts have been moved along with posts, photos and even the site teams. If you find that you have a duplicate account, we can help and consolidate those 2 accounts. Hit the contact link at the bottom of the page to ask for some help with this.
 
Well, we're all getting used to the "NEW". I think that means the system thinks you have already changed your Username the one "free" time. I don't have the horsepower to change your Username so you'll need to use the "Contact Us" link to request it either be re-enabled for you or have the Admins change it to your desired Username.
 
Hello, New site looks good, but ever since it keeps asking to allow thorforums.com to use my location on every click.

I'm using Windows 11 and DuckDuckGo browser. Any ideas?

Edge does not seem to do that and neither does my Safari browsers.
 
Yep, that's a Duck Duck Go Browser issue. Happens on my PC as well on every page load regardless of whether you click ALLOW or DENY.
 
Nope! Mac here using Safari.
I 'slow' it down by clicking 'Remember my decision for a day'
And that's the problem. DDG doesn't remember you decision at all by default. Most other browsers remember your choice for each website that requests location information.
 
The location popup can be dismissed but as noted, your choice is 'remembered' by using a cookie. If you privacy settings are deleting them, you see it repeatedly. Many forum functions use cookies, including showing you new content (specific to you). That thread marking function bold titles where there has been an update you haven't seen. It doesn't work without cookies.
