One small thing after all: I miss a link to my Buddy List in the private messenger. I used that a lot to see if people were actually online, now I can only select a destination for messages from the list. Please restore that link/button.

I have no problems in using the forum the way I'm used to now - i.e. mainly browse from Active Topics, do an occasional search and so on. One thing would be great though, and that is adding a bit more contrast in the color settings. An example: I have to look quite hard to see that there's a lock in the bottom right of a thread icon - mainly due to the use of pale colours and maybe also the very white back ground Tony (glass_house) referred to.
Apart from that - no objections, only improvements. EDIT: Oh and M@X, thanks for re-enabling full message search, do we get to keep it? Edited by Angelo - December 29 2007 at 07:26 |

My only whinge is the email notification subject line is now much too long
"Progressive Rock Forum by Progarchives.com Topic Reply Notification : "
is all redundant text and doesn't fit my Outlook subject field so I cannot see what topic the notification is for.

Oh, can I also suggest the "Active Topics" button be omni-present, just like before? I don't know about others, but I use heavily, almost indispensably.

It will take folks a while to get used to the upgrade, but it looks like a postive improvement.
As M@x says, it also reduces the risk of hacking, which must be a good thing.

Of course, certain points will be improved... but I'm navigating along the forums and I may see some new possibilities that are very interesting.
Great work, M@x...

Don't know if already mentioned, but accessing a topic by its latest post (that is, pressing the button most right to a topic) directs to a bug/problem page. So a topic can't be accessed that way.
Can it be fixed, just like it was in the old format? |

I cannot find an "Edit Post" button, Maxim...
I have got the forum working in Firefox now, after cleaning the cache and cookies. I also want to see the "Active Posts" return, I use that feature all the time. Oh, it's under "Post Options"...  Edited by Geck0 - December 29 2007 at 00:30 |

I cannot seem to log-in using Firefox... I will try to clear the cache, if that doesn't work, I don't know what to suggest.

M@x,
FYI, it seems that the 'new post' icons in the Active Topics view do not work with Opera unless you are logged in. Â In IE7 they seem to work whether you are logged in or not. Â Not sure this is a big deal, but it is a bit odd. |

Minor thing, but isn't the color of our stars a bit pale?
I am also getting the latest post error. Edited by king of Siam - December 28 2007 at 23:58 |

The last post feature is working for me now. The first couple of times I tried it I got Explorer errors.
It is definitely not as user-friendly as the previous forum with the latest posts at the bottom. When you clicked on the latest post before it would take you directly to the latest post. Currently it appears to take you to the first post in the thread and then you have to scroll to get to the last post. Also, it is obviously more difficult to follow the latest posts by having to look at each of the topics to see when the latest post was made. This feature was available under the previous method, so this change is definitely not an improvement to the site. Edited by rushfan4 - December 28 2007 at 23:54 |
