Ladies and Gentlemen (and anything inbetween)
We have many posts with issues post upgrade, can we use this thread to collect them, more chance of getting things changed.
My biggest gripe, is the default resolution, the css frame is too large for the content (although very pretty)
Temp work around use the view function of your browser ( crtl and + will work on most desktop/laptops).
Mobile devices have their own way (usually a pinch on the touch screen).
It's both what you do and the way that you do it!

Well - I've just had a good look round and I have to say I don't like this new site at all. At present it feels just too confusing. The old forum was much more friendly looking and easier to use. I wonder whether I shall bother with it as much as before.
I meant to add Kat's forum map is a great help - but let's face it - it should not be necessary after an UPGRADE.

I'm finding the main page almost useless. The forum posts are clogged up with stickies and announcements. Even if you suppress ones you have read as soon as someone posts anything they reappear. I've tried the filters too and they really don't do the job. [/quote] The Moderators need to have a rethink on what should be sticky. e.g. we have 2 almost identical sticky threads concerning Swifts. I'm not sure why the pinned threads and sticky announcements need to be at the beginning of their own forum pages, as well as at the beginning of the main forum page. If that is going to be the case, then they need to go through and unpin some of the ones that no longer need to be pinned. This might need to be done on a routine basis Best wishes Chris Click Here to see my photos

Why can I sometimes edit a post and sometimes not edit a post? This is definitely a bug that needs resolving

I've never been able to edit a post. Every time I click on that little pencil thingy I get "server error".

TJ I can edit my posts in some forums but not in others. I don't know if the bug is only in Chat or not. I also don't know if it's only in rich formatting or not but it's really annoying that sometimes you can click on the pencil and edit and others you get the dreaded yellow server error page.
As a test I just tried to Edit that post and I can't.
So I'm confident it's associated with Chat and/or rich formatting.
I have been editing posts on the Loch Garten thread with no problems.
Now I have established that it's nothing to do with rich formatting, because I can't edit that post. For me the Edit button doesn't work in 'Chat' forums
Hi all,
In order to make it easier for the team working hard to keep this site going in the right direction to locate the problems that need addressing, I have created a thread called Report a problem log, please only add specific technical issues that you have with the site, all other comments will be deleted to make it quick and easy for us to identify what needs fixing.
Best wishes.

Progress update.
Due to continued problems with the delivery of the reply notifications, these will not be working over the weekend. However, other automated emails such as for new sign-up, change password, friend requests and private message functionality will hopefully work. A solution will hopefully be found next week, apologies for the inconvenience.
