If the former that's too bad as I really liked that feature.

I'd say it is gone for now Bob, but who knows what is in our future.

You need to use "My Profile" or "Settings", depending on what you are after, but bear in mind that until the re-index is complete most of the features will not be available. Give it a day or so, the re-index is only about 33% complete.

Same thing, hover over Settings & see what it says it links too.

Another possible bug - I am not getting any email notification of posts to my threads

This goes for pm's too. I know Neil already knows about the pm emails.

I've spent a bit more time on the Forum now, and the one thing that is causing me real grief is the orange text. I simply cannot read it without peering closely at the screen.
I spent a fair bit of energy at the Canberra Show extolling the virtues of the site, showing them how to navigate the site, and encouraging them to join the forum. I now feel like a fraud - if I had known this new colour scheme was coming in I would have been embarrassed to talk to them the way I did.

Patience Chris, patience.

If you read this thread through, you will find that the colours are being fixed.....# 3,4 and 11 I think.....

Did you know that the ukworkshop.co.uk forum had an outrage yesterday (9th september 2012) that lasted for many hours. Their admin state that it was a world wide situation.

regarding forum changes here, I personally dislike changes at my age, it is bad enough coping with W7, our memories at advancing ages cannot always cope.

No, I haven't zoomed in too far; I have zoomed in to a level that is comfortable for me. The old version displayed perfectly at this zoom setting.
Another forum I am on had the same problem when they upgraded to vbulletin 4.2. However, I was able to overcome the problem by changing the skin to vB4 default style, which at the moment is not an option here.
Anyway, as I said, a minor problem.:)

I've collected the issues into a page where you can see the status of each one. Obviously there will be some lag in the updates between the guys fix things and I can update the site but the best I can do for now.

Clicking on the hyperlinks will take you to the post where the issue was raised.

1. The forums need to be re-indexed, this will take a long time due to all the posts (1.5 million), this should cure a few problems, E.g. searching, settings etc I can be patient

2. The Administrators are flat knacker at the moment trying to smooth things over so please try to only comment on stuff that appears to be broken. Understand. Good luck

3. The colours we know about.
4. The colours we know about.

5. Performance will be slower until the indexing is done. Understand


6. Pictures. The admins are working on tracking this one down and hope to have it sorted today. Please ...


7. Some of the forums are still being sorted out e.g. Market Place.

8. I recommend that you do not tinker with any profile settings until the forums are stable. It is easier to fix one problem for everyone with the same settings.

9. I have merged three threads into one, please do not create new upgrade problem threads all over the place on the forums.

10. iSpy is not available, use the New Posts feature for now. If we find a better way we will let you know.

11. Did I mention we know about the colours? :D Message received


12. Please have patience, all will be fixed in good time.

Just found out

Previously if you did Reply with Quote, you could comment within the quote box and NOT include any text outside the quote box
Now need to also place some text outside the quote box

Just letting you know, hopefully it's intentional

Third try to reply with a quick question.
Is there a setting on the new website which allows me to darken or bold the postings as I'm finding it very difficult to read them [even with good lighting & specs on].
Appeciate the assistance, thank you. Cheers, crowie
