    I think the purpose of this new forum is to make us all go away.

    1) The bright white background is very harsh and annoying.
    2) Every thread in the prior format had the author's ID posted with the thread title. Now MIA. How difficult would it be to migrate the code for keeping that feature ?
    3) The PM archives have been butchered. That will lead to a significant decline in participation for those who stored valuable information in the archive and have lost it.
    4) Why is there no advanced search function ?

    Looks like my icon has disappeared again..... oh well...lots of work being done...... I will not judge this format for a few days... or a week.... takes time to work things out. I have been through system transfers when I was in corporate life.... not simple. Cheers, RickO

    I really like the "Flag Quote Disagree Agree Like and LOL " feature.

    You can click on someone's avatar, and then see under "REACTIONS" how many likes, LOL's, etc they've received. Click on those and see the particular posts that were liked, LOL'd etc.

    My icon is back....second time..... who knows, might disappear again.... ah, but at least I know they are working on the system.....going fairly well so far...these system changeovers are NEVER easy.... Cheers, RickO

    It is really easy to change your Icon. When I click on yours, it is very pixilated, but you can easily load a new pic and crop the specific area that you want your thumbnail to show up as. Just click your icon at the very top of the page.

    I like that we can see how many lookers have read a thread.

    I also like the drag and drop image feature.

    Didn't like the last upgrade at all. This one is better but I'm not a fan of the aesthetics; too cartoon like for my taste.

    The eye appeal is terrible, honestly. The solid white color with no delineation has got to go.

    I may have to give this a whirl back at the house...perhaps those "hidden" icons will appear with a dark background.

    The background color setting was a feature of the prior CU format software. Didn't require an app. or an extension.

    Correct. This is just a (hopefully) temporary workaround.
    The author of the topic actually is named: "Started by XXXX". However, it is replaced by the last poster's name once someone comments on the thread.

  • This forum software doesn't currently feature per-user styles, but I'll let the vendor know of the requests for that option. An extension is your best bet if you want to change the colors now.

    The bar above the reply block with the Bold, Italics, Strikethrough, Ordered List, etc... and the "gear" next to the time stamp are not showing up on my work computer which runs IE11. I can see them at the house using Firefox.

    For those that exceeded 10,000 posts and selected their own ID "title," those are gone. But on the plus side, I've been promoted to "veteran" and "collector" status today (3 stars?). Collector appears higher than veteran, though I'd have figured just the opposite. I'd also like to be able to eliminate the non-coin forums from my list that I never visit.
