Welcome back everyone, the site upgrade has so far been successful and we have brought it back online early! Hopefully you will all be able to have a good look round and get a feel for the new layout.
When you get to the Community home page you will notice the blue bar along the top, most categories on this have drop down menus which will lead you to the various forums and blogs related to the specific topics. All of the original content will still be accessible but you may notice a few things have been moved around and will look slightly different. We will be explaining these changes as we go over the next few days.
Feel free to post away and we hope that you will enjoy using the new site!

Blackbird - do you mean the comments that people used to leave on your page? These are no longer on the forum and were removed as part of the upgrade.

HI everyone. Just logged in after been away for a few weeks and it took me quite a while to find my way around the new set up but hopefully I am in now. It was great to read about the new arrival.
Hi Kat
Yes, I now understand that the comments have been removed and are only possible to see if you are friends with someone else
I have mentioned 2 times on other posts how I feel about PM's on here and will not say any more as my feelings have been made clear on the subject - not happy at all!
We will see how things pan out now and in the future simple as that.
Regards
Kathy and Dave
Well I think it makes life easier to send private information to people - we're already organising a seed swap on the Greenfingers forum which wouldn't have been easy before lol
Great to hear that you are getting use of the PM system
Hope that your seed swop goes well for you, and other likeminded members of the RSPB Forums here find positive use for the exchange of seeds
That is a good thing to have going.

Hi Kathy
The fact that all of the comments would be removed from everyone's profile pages, and would be replaced by a PM system was mentioned in the Upgrade to Community Software thread before the upgrade:

Hi all,
Finally, I able to come back into the Community forum. However has anyone else had the same issue of clicking on the community icon on the home screen of the RSPB and it come up still with maintainance still on progress?
Because I do. I had no idea the forum was even open if it weren't for me clicking on the 'view images' of Minsmere that brought me into the community at all. It's good to be here, at last again.
Will this be sorted anytime soon?

Hi Chappers,
This problem hasn't been mentioned as far as I know - it's fine for me.
Have you tried clearing all your cookies?
Cheers, Linda.
