Man of Honour
We're having to use/read the forum too so I'm not ignoring the functionality issues being raised, just saying that change was needed as it was an issue with the old forum.
New forum! Post bugs & errors in here *CHECK FIRST POST FOR ISSUES FIRST - P.S. THE MM IS OPEN*

I have to say I prefer the old style forum for looks, drop shadows! didn't windows just ditch this, and bright white out of darker blue is hard on the eyes. even white in the black message box is just to much.

I did check the first post. The most obvious thing that i observed is that whoever actually implemented and gave the go ahead for this change in the forums did very little or no checking at all. The entire experience of logging on to make this post was a nightmare, because i actually thought OCUK had been hacked by a 12 year old.
For a site that i have been a member of nearly since the start, what i am looking at and trying to interact with now is upsetting and very very annoying.
This forum has always been one that can be looked up to..............................................the owners and whoever came up with this complete and utter mess should be ashamed of themselves and frankly deserve no respect from all the loyal forum members that have posted in this thread. Am i angry..............too bloody right i am. There was absolutely no need for all this rubbish if you had fully tested in the first place...............................just like any forum owners would and should have done.

To be fair, it does show the entire North American continent. So technically it's correct.
Soldato
It's already there under preferences. Click on your user name, top right
calm down.
why was logging on an issue? it's in practically the same place as the old VB forum?
Soldato
Can the new forums please translate this into English?
Soldato
Small thing, users online used to be in alphabetical order (IIRC) now they are all jumbled up.
Soldato
Am I correct in thinking we will now have to login again after a period of inactivity (whatever you've set the timeout to I guess) - not a huge issue but the old forum never used to log me out which was kinda handy!
Soldato
Mouseover your name at the top of the page then click 'your content'
That doesn't differentiate between posts and new threads. How do I see the just the threads I created or just the replies?
Clearly these were useful features, why remove them?
Soldato
No, there's a stay logged in option at the bottom of the log in dialog. It is obscured a little though...
