Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Anyone find that the forum search function is NOT working? Or is it just me?

Just got word that the Search function is undergoing maintenance.  It may be a few days before it is up and running again.

Howard, another feature to report up the chain that doesn't seem to work right on ActiveBoard is when adding a URL link to a post. If one forgot to set the link to "open in a new window" then saves the post and then tries to edit the post to make the link "open in a new window" it will not save it that way. Even if you display the edited post in html and manually add the "target=_blank" command it will not save that either. Once it saves a link it seems the "open" option can not be changed. Kind of minor but frustrating.

The "open in new window" issue might be related to current maintenance as I did not have the problem you describe when I was editing entries a few days ago.  Or maybe it's just that I have more powers as the "moderator". 

Lately I've been using the "square bracket" "[]" url= tag to insert links that open a new window.  That seems to be working just fine.

For example, I type in "["url=http://www.rv-dreams.com"]"RV-Dreams.com"["/url"]" (without the quotation marks) directly into the post.

If I remove all the quotation marks, this is what people see in the post: RV-Dreams.com.  That's a direct link that opens in a new window.

Since that option is available in this forum, no need to worry about forgetting the target="_blank" in the HTML "<a href=" link method. 

Now I don't pretend to know what I'm talking about here, but I've noticed others using the "[url=" method, and it seems simpler and works great.
