can someone tell me what happened to the newstoday site? i can't figure out how to see/do everything on here!

This is the redesigned version of Newstoday, now called QBN. And c'mon - it can't be that hard to figure out, can it?:)

Good Lord, girl - sharpen up, the world doesn't revolve around you, you know! ;)
Newstoday's long-since been replaced by this shiny white construction and there have already been many threads around the topic of the transition.
All the content areas are the same, just shifted around and with added functionality - and now we have access to the full NT archive - so if you want to find all your old Leftwave posts, play around with the filter feature above.

Hold on - now I'm confused - didn't you already post a topic about this? Where'd it go?
- stacieglass0
YES DETRITUS!
where did my old topic go? i just posted about this a few hours ago and i can't find it anymore.furthermore...
1. my old leftwave login won't work here so i had to make a new user
2. how can i do keyword or user searches in the "filter" section like i could on NT?
3. finally: why did you say "Newstoday's long-since been replaced by this shiny white construction and there have already been many threads around the topic of the transition."??? i was just on the old NT site last week (or 2 weeks ago) and i can't find any threads about this transition!

Leftwave, just pretend you forgot your password, and get it sent to your email addy. Then you will get a new activation thing and everything in life will be fine again.

Is it only 2 weeks? Gosh. I thought it was longer.
QBN's probably 'edited' your earlier thread - as I said, there have been a lot of similar ones, so it's conceivable they'd just delete for being a duplication.
There have been a handful of login problems - email the QBN if you want your Leftwave login unbodged.
As for the filter - using it is a little arse about face - type in your keyword(s), press enter, then set the filters (PV/editor's choice, etc) and ensure that you're not set to just search the last 24 hours. It works very well though, once you get used to it.
Perhaps they should add a wee 'filter' button to the PV box at left?
*ahem*

thanks for the help guys. i'm afraid i still need more!
1. i tried to that forgot-my-password thingy, but no email got sent to me. i waited several hours too. and yes, i checked my junk mail folder. so.... who do i email at QBN? i can't seem to find any contact info on this site.
2. regarding the filter feature... i can't get that to quite work either. if i do a search for "leftwave" (me), all i get is 1 result from 2005 and it's not even from me, it just has my name in it. i've certainly posted more crap since then... where is it?
- i sure do like not clicking next next next though!!stacieglass

Hmm...yeah, it has only been two weeks. I remember....the new site came up a few days to a week after my birthday, which was in the middle of November.

Sorry, the second one should be broadcasts, not PV Topics.

what's a "newstoday"
- ?molo
- it was a website that this site was based off of... newstoday.comstacieglass
- stacieglass0
thanks Jaline! that certainly clears some things up. here's my final 2 questions:
1. who do i contact (email address) to get my leftwave login repaired? i can't log into that account
2. how do i use the filter to do those searches that you linked to??
- search for bug report thread. post there and qbn will give you your password.cosmo

what makes you think you can't login? (what does it tell you?, have you tried the password reminder, what did it say?, etc...)
- stacieglass0
i try to login with my password and it rejects it. they i try the "forgot your password" thing and it says it emailed me, but i never get any email!
- ribit0
usually when these systems say they emailed you they really did it... (I deal with login support on our online magazine, have seen just about every way the system, or users, can screw up)... its either not getting past your mail provider, or is lost in your junk email... or you really do need to contact QBN...
- Jaline0
When I did that, I actually got an email. Try again. Maybe you used a different email before when you signed up to Newstoday?
- stacieglass0
i've tried every email possible and still nothing! does anyone know what email address i can contact some QBN people at?
this one stopped working:
