with the new forum software running I'm missing a lot of functionalilty:

I loved the old way the forums were where I could look at the list of forums and see the # of new posts and replies which were colored differently.

before when I clicked on a message thread it would go to the newest message now it always starts at the beginning.

is there somehow to get these functionalities back? I could not find any settings to do this for my preferences.

at least the first functionality is there and working.

In fact it's the old forum software, just a new version. As with any change, it might look unfamiliar at a first glance, but I hope you'll soon get used to it. It's just like going to A7 from A6.

Of course, the new version has the same functionality as the old version. For going to the last post of a thread, click on the date.

The import of the old forum database went almost, but not 100% smoothly. There were two problems:

- a few recent threads were missing,
- and all PMs you've ever received are in your message box again. So the first thing for you to do is deleting them, otherwise you can't receive new PMs.

If you encounter any other problems please post here.

I like it Bout time for a change

Urrr, am I going crazy? The extra categories are back all of a sudden at the left, and I can't find the option anymore to turn them off...

Should I go find a doctor now?

My Stuff -> My Preferences -> Turn off the left (or right) column

I had bookmarked the old forum, and it still says "Sorry, our forums are temporarily closed while we perform some maintenance. Please try back later.".

Some people who did the same may not have found out that the new forum is now on another location. It would be nice if the old link redirected to the new forum, or at least tell the user that the forum has moved.

The old address is: http://www.coniserver.net/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?Cat=0&C=5

yep, had that problem also for a day xD
Just came here after Poison asked me about my oppion about the new forum

The old forum is redirected. You'll notice that when you click on a post.

But there aren't any post to click on, just the maintenance message? And every other link at the old forum page redirects to the same maintenance message...

I'd say, better make the whole link redirect to this forum. For those who have bookmarked the old forum may still wait for the maintenance to be fixed :P.
