The frontpage has "Register" and "Log in" buttons, however if I click through to the forums I am logged in.

I noticed this too.
I only appear to be logged in at the forums. If I click on any other site option (Videos, Friends&Relationships, etc.), than the green buttons with Register and Log In show up again. When I click Log In, the screen jumps back to Forums.

I can't see much at once on the mobile version because there are no columns, there are a lot of wasted spaces and you can't zoom in/out. It's very hard to click a small link (such as the page number of a thread). It's become kind of less flexible.

I'm puzzled about something in the profiles; some usernames are depicted in red, others in dark blue. What does it signify?

It appears to me that every user who joined before February 2nd, 2012 is in blue, and every member who joined after that date is in red. I haven't found any members who that doesn't apply to, yet.
Edit: I think this also solves my previous question from the last page.

The forum ranromly logs me out sometimes.

Have we figured out yet what makes some names bold in the "last post by" column?

The main problem that I have with the new site is that you can no longer see someone else's gender or diagnosis.

The button to go to the last unread post (from the subforum index) is not viable anymore.

yeah :| it would make communication a bit harder definitely, with it not visible. thanks English for not having a gender neutral pronoun.
we've had lots of suggestions about more gender/sex and diagnosis options, perhaps custom.
they could still be working on it or not?

"View my posts" on the main forum page needs to work like it used to. It needs to show topics I've posted in. Right now, it works like the "view all posts by this user" feature on the profile page.

I don't actually read my old posts very often, but I do like to have a one button way to find out if there have been replies to threads I've posted in.


THIS.

That's one of the things that will be fixed. Hopefully soon.

One thing I've noticed is that there are posts missing on some threads. It's particularly noticeable on larger ones like the "Last person to post wins" thread on the Games forum. It had over 5,400 pages before the upgrade, but now it's down to around 4,300 pages. That's around 10,000 posts missing from a single thread. Any reason why?



There are over 4 years of posts missing from the Five Letter Word Game in "Off The Wall"!

I just noticed when making that italicised phrase that this function isn't working properly either (ditto the Bold icon).

They may have just migrated to another page on the forum. I initially thought the very popular Banned thread on Off The Wall had been erased, but it turned up on the third page. Still a pain to find, if the particular forum is a large one, and the thread has been moved to page 100!

so no more quote tunnels?

say's you can't embed more then 3 quotes in a reply. this sucks if you are replying to someone about what they replied to. now you have to make it just to their reply and yours. :(

Now that we are on the new site, I really wish we could change usernames, but it seems like that is still not possible.
