      All Appliantology tech members are invited to join in this workshop on all things Appliantological: bidness, customers, tools, troubleshooting, flavorite brewski, whatever. Webcams and microphones are open and live!
      This workshop is also a great time for any students at Master Samurai Tech to bring any and all questions about the coursework. We're happy to walk through any concepts you're having trouble with. Think of it like office hours with your teachers. 
      If you have a specific appliance problem you'd like us to talk about, post it here! We need a problem statement and a PDF of the tech sheet or schematic so we can all see it on screen share. If you have a PDF that isn't already in the File library here at Appliantology, send it to us by attaching it to the contact form. 
      Also, follow this Calendar Event so you'll get notified of new posts here. Look for the "Follow" button either at the top of the topic on desktop or below the topic on mobile.
      Who: This workshop is only available to tech members at Appliantology.
      When: Saturday, March 30 @10:00 AM Eastern Time.
      Where: Online via Zoom

Changes to Announcements and Search

We just updated the software that Appliantology runs on, and I thought you guys might like to know what's changed. While most of these changes are in the backend of the site (the part that keeps everything running, but that you guys don't have to see), there are a couple visible changes that you may have already noticed.

Announcements have been moved a little bit -- they now show up as a box in the sidebar with a bullhorn on the top. You used to see these in the middle of the page, right above the main content. This isn't a huge change when you're viewing the site on a desktop computer, but when you're using a smartphone, it means that you will not see the announcements block. We may change that in the future, but for the time being, keep that in mind.

Also, Appliantology's search engine has received some improvements. You'll see that there's now a dropdown menu that appears when you click into the search box. This menu lets you select which part of the site you want to search (very important, especially if you're looking specifically for files in the Downloads section), and it gives a few other options that you can use to fine-tune your query. These options were actually always available to you, but you used to have to go to "Advanced Search" in order to see them. Now they're more accessible.

One other tweak to searching: the search engine used to default to searching whatever section of the site you were currently viewing (so if you were viewing a forum topic, it would default to searching just that topic). Now, to help avoid confusion, it will always default to searching the entire site -- though you can still search within the current topic, forum, section, etc. if you so choose.

If you have any questions about these updates, let me know!

That’s the goal- we want to make sure  Appliantology remains the premiere appliance tech resource site off the corporate plantation (eg, FB).
