Just a couple of things I've noticed in the last few min. Is there a way to see the rep assign of a post? Also, before you could close a thread down if there were to many bad aps. Has this feature been carried over? And if so, how about the ability to assign reps to the thread instead of an member?

I always thought that was a good feature.


Also, there doesn't seem to be a home button or am I just not seeing it?


I really do like that edit feature now... How it just expands the post and leaves the rest of the thread viewable in the same format....

Also anyone notice the Gold Dot is now an ominous Black Dot?

Hey hjack,

lso, there doesn't seem to be a home button or am I just not seeing it?

If you click the logo it'll take you there.

No, you can't see the reps awarded per post, and yes you can rate a thread in the rate this thread dropdown.

[hjack]

Why thank you sir.....never even thought to try it.. Still should have a button imho.

Question here: How do I setup the threads I want to see? Meaning when I'm on the main page, I usually just want to see certain forums. Is that option gone or am missing it? Not a big deal in the long run.
As for the bitching - To each their own. I'm from a different school of thought here. This appears to be alot of work and I'd feel like a ******* if I complained about it. That's just me.

No that was a hack to the old forum. I'm trying to figure out a "bloodless" way of doing it with the new system, while still keeping carnage to a minimum.
The endless hacks to the old forum is what kept it running such an archaic version for so long. Upgrade wasn't thought to be even possible. Turned out it was, just took vast amounts of work to do. Lots of custom import scripts written.

For what it's worth, I like the new site. I see that there are a lot of comments about the new format, difficulty getting around etc., but that will come with familiarity. I saw the comment about the search function not working and appreciate that it may take a little while to get it working again.

Thanks for all the hard work in keeping the site running and (IMHO) improving it.

Thanks. The search function doesn't work yet, the indexing is proving to be a problem. We're looking into that as well.
