Click on “All tags” on the left. It shows all the available boards. Crowdstrike doesn’t have one.

It (Crowdstrike board) is located in the Premium boards section.
If you have this it is located in the upper right corner to the left of your name icon.
Click on Switch to Premium
Since @Fafar says he has Stock Advisor, he should have access

Mike, I didn’t see how to how to switch to premium anywhere. At the top of my phone there are icons. First I tried the hamburger menu. Surprisingly, to switch I have to click the green Video Play button! What a weird symbol to choose. A big P or a $ would make better sense. But at least I know now. Thanks for getting me there.

Yes, it looks different on a PC. It says Switch to Premium so the “play” button looks like a right arrow, I guess. And on the phone you just see the arrow

Well this experience has really sucked, a month into it and the boards are mostly useless to me. Just not worth the effort. I’m out but good luck to all, will check back occasionally to see if things change.

I still find the “reading” interesting, but discordant. It’s like trying to have a conversation with people in the next car on the Tilt-A-Whirl. It may happen, but it seems random, untraceable, and only occasionally enlightening. There are still good individual posts, but you can never get back to them because you don’t know where you found them in the first place. (And some of those you don’t think to bookmark at the time, so they are gone, seemingly forever.)
Maybe if I was more ADHD it wouldn’t matter? Perhaps that’s the affliction of this particular board designer. Ironically once upon a time when I was at HGTV in the prehistoric years I thought to approach the Fool to license their board software ford a discussion platform because it was so logically presented. The lack of editing and picture insertion would have been an issue, but the plan never progressed even to the point of the ask so nothing came of it.
The loss of Jim is incalculable, of course, but then we lost other great posters over time, so, chin up and carry on, as they say.

There’s something about Discourse that makes the messages feel transient.
Like an never-ending stream of random thoughts.
Feels like the whole interface discourages longevity for hotness and recency.
“I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe…
Users on fire off the shoulder of Unread…
I watched Old School Fools glitter in the dark near the Everything Gate.
All these posts will be lost in time, like tears in rain.”

I feel exactly the same way and unexpectedly so. I was fully prepared to invest in making this new board work but the way it is designed to work seems to focus on encouraging you to look at and see a wide swath of things rather than to help you focus or engage on the things you really want to be connecting to.
I am really sad about how shallow / data free the content on the Berkshire board has become now that Jim is gone. It was an immense amount of value he added and a great loss.

Seems mostly useless to just about everybody. I check about once a week now, and between the MI board, Retirement Investing, and BRK, there are only about new 10-12 posts. For the whole week.

Ray, are you clicking on “latest”? “New” and “unread” pull up fewer posts for me.

Against change per se? Or the senseless and destructive changes that have taken place to the content/functioning/software etc of TMF?

I’ve been participating is various types of message boards since 1995, going all the way back to the original MF AOL ones that resided inside of the old AOL software, and this new interface is absolutely the worst that I’ve ever seen anywhere.
It doesn’t surprise me that many people have disappeared, including some of the smartest people that I’ve run across in all these years on one of the best message boards anywhere.
Wheezy

Luckily for us there is now an excellent alternative that looks and feels very much like the old board, e.g. here is the ‘new old’ Berkshire board: http://www.digitalscores.com/MB?bid=1

Thanks so much for this!!! TMF had been part of my life for over 20 years, until it was crippled and its heart cut out. This brings some sunshine.

This reflects other emails received from lost souls who felt they had been cast into a dungeon, some even becoming “despondent” (this word I read literally three times).
Some still don’t know that most of the “lost authors” are back again at shrewdm.com.
The sun will always be shining at Shrewd’m.

Hi. So thankful that something prompted me to look at TMF yesterday, after a great many weeks. After seeing your post, I went immediately to Shrewd’m and looked around with a big smile on my face! Finding old friends again. My one frustration is my lack of success in joining. Filled in everything, and got to the prompt informing me that the final step was to wait for an email, then click on the link—and that would verify my authenticity. But that email never arrived (yes, I checked my spam folder—not there). And I just noted on Shrewdsmith that others are having the same problem.
Hoping you can resolve this!

Thanks, will get to the bottom of that. In the meantime, re-try using a different email if you have one. (Don’t worry about your alias getting “used up” - it is only locked in once the email link is actually clicked.)

Success!! And what I did was simply start from scratch and duplicate everything, including the email address I had used. It was accepted as a new registration, with the note to respond to the imminent email. And this time the welcome email arrived, with the link to click. And I’m in. Yayyy!!!
