If there was a picture of me, it would look like a big stick in the mud! I can't say I like the new RCU, but then, I did not care much for the way the old RCU was acting. Oh well, roll with the punches and get over it I guess. At least there is a place I can go and feed my RC hunger.

In the photo upload box there are two sections an upper and a lower. The pics are uploaded to the top section and dragged to the bottom section for placing in the thread comment. The pictures in the upper half stay there or are stored there. After posting numerous photos the upper section is going to be quite busy. Can they be removed.

Don't even know where to go here. Still wants me to logon on but click sigin and I'm logged in. Getting subscriptions and can't unsubscribe as a result of the previous condition. I really don't need more useless email added to the garbage I already get from the spammers.
Patience is getting thin for a site that needed a few bugs fixed and performance made consistent. I always love it when "upgrade the software" is the solution. Seems like there is perhaps a lack of expertise with the staff, unfortunately.

I have to deal with the same bug and problems that everybody else faces, and probably more so because of the amount of ground I have to cover here on RCU. So I feel your pain, believe me I do. But I've watched the IB staff working very hard to get all the bugs worked out as fast as they can. I know that they will get everything running and before too long all of this will be just a memory.
Unfortunately IB really had to take the actions that they did. The company the produced the software that RCU's forums ran on went out of business years ago. One of the previous owners of RCU maintained the software and make custom patches and upgrades to it as we went along. But getting any support from the vendor was impossible because they were out of business. When RCU was sold Internet Brands really had no choice but to move us to vBulletin because of the situation of having no support from a company out of business. It's been a rough road for them to get us upgraded, but it is happening and I truly believe that we do see light at the end of the tunnel!!!!

Thanks.
It just kind of reminds me of a conversion project where one of the small teams converted just over a dozen vendors to the new....and thought, and announced to senior management that they were 99% done. I laughed and 4 months later they were still struggling. Anyway, hope it's not so!

Sounds good on the photo thing Ken. As many photos we post doing a build thread it would only take a day or two and there would be way too many pics there.
As for me, the initial shock of so much change is wearing off. And with the learning of much of the new navigation routes the site is becoming better. But I still don't like it being like most every other site in appearance and format. I'm sure that will change in time.
I would also like to give a very big "Thank's " to all the managers, moderators, and or administrators for their patience, support, and help!

Guys - like anything new, it takes some time to get used to the changes. I understand and accept the reasoning behind the software change. If the software is obsolete, well, how can anyone fix problems. Thus the reason for the change.
Please, be patient, and play with the options offered. At some point, it will become second nature.
John - I am using Google Chrome. I have not tried IE with the new RCU yet.. I do have it installed on this computer, but it's such a pain in the butt, I just don't use it. I simply hit the enter key and I get a new line.
CGr.

We used to be able to go to "My Forums" then click on "New Posts" and it would bring up only New Posts from our subscribed forums. Now it brings up ALL new posts from all of RCU including cars,trucks and boats. Shouldn't have to weed through the unwanted threads.

Hi, I'm glad ...changes are good for the most part, but I've been using Smart Viera on my TV (Panasonic) and use to be able to log in,
lately not only I wasn't able to log in anymore due to "able your cookies" warning (on the TV there's no such option
now I cant even view the pictures, which previously I could... bummer
But hey, at least RCU is trying something new! kudos

Other than that I cannot use My Forums it's not so bad. Trying that I show as not logged in, but when I try and log in it takes me to my profile - which shows me as logged in and won't allow me to log out (404 error). Catch 22.
So I have to poke through all forums to be able to post. Does the same thing from work (Windows XP) or home (Windows Vista).

Hey...we need some help here. Please give instructions that work.

They must be making progress. I couldn't post since the new site went up. I couldn't make a paragraph for the first three days, then I could.
But it wouldn't post. So they are getting it together. Hopefully they are getting good input on the problems and have the resources to fix them.

I like your new forum.
I have no problem with either my desk top with Win8, my laptop with Win7 or my desktop with Ubuntu. Now, I'm using Mozilla Firefox as a browser on all of them.

All functions seem to work flawlessly. Congradulation, your dedication and hard work is appreciated. I do not think most of the readers realize the amount of effort and time is put into keeping a forum operating well. Rodney
