Site layout/navigating the ‘new’ AW site

Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

Help Support :

I do not see a link or image in those posts. How were you presenting them? Do you still have the pictures that could be edited by either uploading or cutting and pasting them into the thread? And I love that first washer, which is blue.

The pictures are now starting to show up. Some I copy and pasted (like in the above threads), others (like in other threads not posted here) are linked from photo bucket or imgur.
 
I'm impressed with how quickly the forum was migrated over, given the homegrown custom software setup it had before.

Only one issue - I upgraded to a paid membership on the old site a couple days before it was migrated over. The upgrade never took effect. I had just been waiting because there was a notice that it could sometimes take a while, but especially now that the site software is migrated over I'm not sure if there will be manual intervention needed for it to work.
 
Oh yeah, do you know if there’s any benefits that the paid members get? As as far as I know I have been a paid member for quite a couple of years now and I’m wanting to see what else It can do.

By the way, has anybody else tried uploading a video directly to the site as I tried using my iPhone and it was actually easier to upload here than it was on YouTube
 
@hvtech42, I have verified and updated your member account.
Thank you!

Before I was upgraded I could by clicking my username in the upper right corner then click "Account upgrades"... however now that I'm upgraded I can't see the screen. I guess someone who isn't upgraded will have to take a screenshot...

@Alan - do you know if/when the mass update for profiles who had paid/upgraded memberships on the old platform will be fully migrated over? Besides myself, I'm not seeing nearly the amount of upgraded profiles for others on AW 2.0.

Thanks! Ben
 
I wonder where you find your upgraded days?
I found it under Account > Account Details > Account Upgrades.. but I am hoping the price is.. wrong/just a filler number? (I am going to assume they are still filling in details?)

  • Platinum Premium Membership$200.00 per year
    Expires: Apr 6, 2026
  • * All the features of Gold PLUS:
  • * Custom Platinum Level Badge (replaces Gold badge)
  • * Can be "Invisible"
  • * Can see who is "Invisible"

It looks like they gave all the upgraded members from the old site Platinum which is the highest tier. There are several tiers below Platinum which are much cheaper - the lowest one was $20 or $30 a year, which gives most of the upgraded features from the old site if I remember correctly. But you can't see the lower tier options when you're already at Platinum.

Overall it is a price increase from the old site but to be fair, it looks like there will be some extra functionality that the old site didn't have.

I am checking your account and should have an update shortly.

We had the incorrect pricing in and have changed it to be based on the prior Premium pricing. So please check it out again when you have time.
I apologize for the incorrect pricing initially displayed.
 
Good evening all, I just logged on today on the ‘new’ AW, while the site hasn’t fallen off of the face of the earth (knock on wood), I find it’s a lot different than the old AW site. The good thing is you can edit or delete posts and send DMs on top of getting notifications when someone likes a post, but the downside is you can’t go onto the older threads as easily. Tried going onto the thread of where resurrected my Whirlpools, but just stops loading halfway, even when I try to click back, still won’t let me. Have to essentially close the browser and start all over again.

Hopefully the site layout slowly turns back to what it once was, or something reminiscent. Kinda tricky since everything is all over the place at the moment.

In time, it will probably slowly become how it was in terms of the layout.

Just see it as the equivalent of the local grocery store that had a major renovation done and everything has been completely rearranged.
So is this a permanent change for this website? Is this how it’s going to look from now on? This is really difficult to navigate

Thank you for that analogy. I think it's an accurate example. :)

Just hope the layout is reminiscent of what it once was at time marches on. Use this site for technical information, currently in the process of trying to get these going again (at least the dryer), along with tips and tricks to make a diagnosis a bit easier. 49A90893-CBB9-40FC-8F5F-9BB00928D9E4.jpeg

Alan,
So, I looked at my member page and it now shows $96.00 annually for Platinum, instead of $200.00, but this is still more than I’m willing to pay. There is mention of other upgraded levels from $20 to $30 per year, but for the life of me I can’t find anywhere on the site that gives any detail of the different upgrades, what they cost and what additional features that they include. Can you please let us all know where we may find this info. My upgraded membership expires in 10 days and I’d like to know what my options are. BTW, will members receive a notice when their upgraded days have expired and how to renew? Thanks!

Eddie
 
@ea56, at the end of this year, your membership will expire, and you will then be able to see all the benefits of each level. I see that at this time, you can only see your level. Let me discuss this with the lead tech, as each level is usually visible, and your level with an expiration date will be displayed at the bottom.
