I noticed to get some things to work properly I had to log back out and log in again after the new forum was up and running. If you were logged in over the weekend things like attachments and pictures wouldn't work come Monday with the new forum, but cleaning out my cookies and doing a new login seemed to clear things up.
"My Forums" no longer appears to work for me.
Other than that things seem to be working well. Good job.

For my account it seems the forum move has lost all my own SENT private message copies! I always saved any sent PM in my SENT folder.
I checked all my SENT private messages, & all I have in the SENT ITEMS box now are complete duplicates of all my INBOX messages. None of my original sent private messages have been saved after the move.
Also, I noticed that the saving SENT private messages to the Sent folder setting has also been turned OFF in my profile after the move, as well as the setting for getting a pop-up notification when a new message is received was turned OFF when I had both ON before the move.
Everyone should check all their General & Privacy account settings in their profiles to make sure these & all other settings are still the way you wanted them!

I'm also getting the full inbox problem when someone PM's me. I get email notifications of it. Sending PMs works fine.
I didn't clear any caches in Safari to get RCU to remember me. I would log in, go to the register as new member function and sign in there. RCU remembers me now. I mostly did that to look for a workaround since I lose too much info on my iPad when I clear Safari caches on it. Anyway, it works.
I really like the look, but what I miss is the double directory line thing like we had before. I don't know what else to call it. It's the left to right list of forums we navigated through, like this:
(That is cool to just copy and paste!) Anyway, it was very convenient to have this at the bottom of the window like the old layout. No more scrolling all the way back to the top to navigate quickly.

1. The first time I enter the site I select the drop down "Forums" tab (on the RCU main page) then click "My Forums" I get all the forums. When I do it the second time I get "My Forums".
2. The new images that I posted look fuzzy and not clear like the original. Looks like the file is being compressed and the compression is not working correctly or is being compressed too much.
3. The original build threads I did are showing a mix of thumbnails and image links rather than all thumbnails. The threads are really not usable showing just links and I spent a zillion hours over the last 9 years creating them. Here is an example link, one of many http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_3973867/tm.htm Update: That problem might be very slowly fixing itself but it still has links on page 47 forward.
4. Please take a look at the scrambled text on post 28 of the above thread? Those odd symbols show up at the end of all my pages at "To be continued....".
Thanks.

Hi!
Is this better than the earlier version...? No way!
I cannot reply (tells me to log in ...but I´m already greated welcome and where is the log in button?...pictures isn't seen directly as before (you have to click on files to open them).
Why change something that works and looks good???

I find that if I click on the RCU home link in the top left hand corner of the screen and then come back to the forums from the forums tab it doesn't make me log in. But, if I get an email about a thread and I use the link in the email I'm not logged in once I get to the thread...

when looking at my subscriptions, it dosnt tell me the category that the thread is in. I only look in a few category's, so now I have to go hunt for the category's. all you get is the threads name and who posted. ive seen lots of forums up date, but RCU took a step backward.

To turn off the auto-subscribe, go to Settings, Messaging and Notifications, Default Thread Subscription Mode: - then click on the pulldown and select the option you prefer.
It's going to take a bit to get used to the new forums, so have a little patience.

I have a question regarding pics. If the answer is in FAQs I could not find it. When I am looking at a thread that has pictures, they are all listed at the bottom of the post with just file names. To view them I must open each one. Is this the way the new site works?...do I have a setting wrong somewhere?

I think this is a bug. When you click on the Qick Navigation Forum button at the top or bottom, instead of opening at the forum you are in it opens with the top forum so you have to scroll all the way down just to get where you are at. Old software didn't do that. Also, I chose My forum when I start and it still lists all the forums. why is that? Did the new software wipe out peoples preferences? I also don't like the look of the new site.

Since I posted that RCU was remembering me now I should post that it isn't working now. I have to log in.
Jaka- PM me if you want more info. But, the older RCU software was barely running, and poorly at that. You may remember the down times, slowdowns, and picture problems. Something had to be done in a major way. The older software may be described as patches on top of more patches.

For your second issue, are you saying that when you click Forums, then My Forums in the top header, it's not bringing you to your My Forums? Have you scrolled down to be sure? If so, where is it taking you?
It's helpful to tell us click by click what is happening, to list your browser type and version, and include links or screen shots where applicable. Thank you!

I get an error message when trying to click the "forum settings" tab in the user CP. It says I don't have privilege or I'm not signed in even though I am. Clicking on the "click here to sign in" brings me back to the general settings tab showing me being signed in.

Say I'm in the Gas Forum, want to go to the Glow forum, I click the arrow next to where it says GAS or the word GAS itself and up pops a list of forums, starting at the top. What is so hard to understand about that. I then have to scroll through all the forums in that list to get to where I want to do. If the list just opened up at the forum you were in, as the old software did, that wouldn't be an issue.
I know what My Forums list looks like and even though I go to Forums/My Forums, the list I get is every single forum on the site.

Can you post the URL you're on when you go to My Forums, and a screen shot of your screen while you're there?
