I have never subscibed to any thread on RCU and now all of a sudden my inbox is just flooding over with rcu subscriptions where i have posted in the past. How do I stop this? absolutely do not like the new site. it doesnt look like anyone else is either. And now for some reason I cant seemed to stay logged in on my tablet pc. Every time i want to post in a thread, it redirects me to the login screen. then after it logs me in, I got to find my way back to the forum ioriginally wanted to post in. just when i tyought thos s8ght coupdnt get any worse.

I suppose I could get used to it, after all got used to having one eye. I have to ask myself though if I want to spend time "getting used" to something ir could I spend that time doing something more enjoyable ore even useful?
Maybe later

RC Groups for example is a superior layed out site. Easy to navigate. Easy to post. PM's are simple. It's a PLEASURE to use. This new layout is complete bunk.

It's terrible.
Login issues. Why should I have to clear cookies. RCU put it there in the first place yet they can't replace it after the first login. BS.
I have to scroll half way down the page before I even get to the forum postings.
The user box when finally logged in takes up way too much space.
The default text size in the postings and forum listing is way way too small.
And the Facebook colours suck.
Heartbeat threads where?
I always enjoyed seeing whose online at the top of the forum.
The old RCU always had the best layout for ease of use and READABILITY? I can not stress this enough. READABILITY. Looks like utter crap on tablets and mobiles. I guess they want everyone using this site with only a 21 inch monitor.
It's obvious Internet Brands do not care about this site. There was not enough testing done before rollout. I'm an engineer and if I rolled out a new machine with this many problems I would promptly be fired.
NO EXCUSES!
I could go on but I'll probably get banned.

Personally I don't think there is anything wrong with vbulletin itself as the data has come over ok (mostly). Why they are not using the latest version of their own software is intriguing though.
I think the main problem is they are trying to integrate the old part of rcu with the advertising section etc with the new part (ie the new forums), but this new forum has it's own control panel and user database, which is separate to the forum control panel and forum user database. They are somehow authenticating you to the forum using the login from the old RCU site which is why the problems with the cookies and staying logged in and going round and round in circles etc. You can't log out, as the system doesn't know which section your logging out from the old rcu or the forum.
It's really beyond a joke that they have stuffed this up this badly and are still going forward with it. The cancelled the upgrade two weekends in a row, maby they needed a bit more testing. The only way they are going to solve this mess is to roll back to the old forum, or make the new forum standalone and let us get on with things like you can with every other vbulletin forum out there.

No email forum posts either
Ever since the "upgrade" went into effect I have not recieved a single email update or new post to any of the forums that I have subsrcibed to. In the old forum I would get at least 10-20 a day. Now nothing at all, Zip, Nada, Empty ! I have done all the cookie clearing & cleaning and done all that others have said that I need to do and triple checked all of my settings, but still have not recieved a sinlge email. Not even in my spam or blocked folders. I use Firfox ver.23 and even tried it on IE8 and still nothing. I am at a loss at to what to do, except give it a few more dys and then give up and go elsewhere.

When you see the list of threads in RC Jets at the top there is a blue banner which has RC Jets at the left, scan across to you see Forum Tools, click on this, There is a subscribe option, click on this and you should be in business.
If it still does not work for you please report as a bug using the link right at the top of the page. It is hard to see the link as it is blue on green. Slapped wrist for somebody.

what probably bothers me the most, is when I click "Sign in", it just signs me in without my needing to enter any information, even after having cleared cookies. But I can't log out. So I don't actually need to sign in to sign in, but I need to sign in to do anything, (does that make any sense?) Glad the dreamworks forum is trouble free!!!!!!

Complete garbage. I can barely get through the login mess. How can anyone enjoy something like this.
I sure hope they get cracking on the fix for this place.
There is a major drop to the number of people online.
Seems like they have given up. Have not seen any improvement at all.
Please fix our forum so we can enjoy it like we once were able to.

I had hoped it would of been a carbon copy of the old forums (as far as layout, colors, etc etc etc) on a new software format... and then we got this....... needless to say is very Blah, log-in/out is frustrating at all times, random emails about thread subscriptions that I really never wanted to subscribe to b/c I only ever made one post in that thread.. Horribly small pictures and horrible picture quality..
over-all, the only decent thing about the upgrade is the site is actually semi-working on a regular basis and seems to be slightly faster than the old format.. otherwise, it sucks!

This morning, it took me right to RC Jets on the second time I logged in. Now this after noon I had to jump through the same hoops I have had to do for the last week, namely sign in, hit my forums twice then scroll to RC Jets. Actually I had to do it twice as I thought I was logged in, WRONG had to sign in again. It said I was not allowed to post as I wasn't signed in.

Saw the new announcement regarding the log out. I just logged out, then logged back in and it now works like it's supposed to. I'm on a Samsung Galaxy tablet. I tested again by closing the browser and then going to Jets forum from a bookmark and I was logged in properly, as expected. I think they fixed it!!!
I like the new look, but what I also did was edit my settings and got rid of everyone's signature and crap and the threads look normal again with a whole lot less white space.
