    vBulletin Upgrade complete

    Everything went as planned this time and finished much earlier than expected. The site will be reindexing until around midnight tonight or so. If you notice any issues, post them in the Feedback Forum. Alot has changed in the past few hours, so take some time and poke around.

    Just a side note, the New Topics option is as close to the old home page as you will find.

    I clicked on the "New Posts", is that what you meant? Look and feel is a lot different, not nearly as good as the old, but I'm sure you guys had other reasons to make the change and do the upgrade.

      When not logged in, as a new viewer who is considering joining would be, clicking on "Today's Posts", takes you to the search function, instead of today's posts. Once logged in, it becomes "New Posts". (I think of that as broken)

        Thanks, that should be fixed now and it should show today's posts when not logged in.

          It is definitely going to take some getting used to. The main reason to upgrade is that our old version is unsupported and almost unusable on mobile devices.

            I just posted under Forum Feedback with a couple of attachments. They do not show up under "New Posts" or "New Topics" when I log out and log in. I also logged in with a different browser and the new post/thread does not show up under New Posts / New topic. Is this a feature? There is a feature that I never understood on another forum in which the poster's post does not show up under new posts, just other people's new posts. Is that what is happening here?

              Something is odd with PMs. I am logged in and when I click on messages it shows my inbox but on the left it says "Sorry, you are not authorized to view this page." I seem to be unable to reply or start a new message.

                I guess you have to do these updates, but I really don't care for the new look. I had to adjust my screen as the type was too small, and of course when you do that, everything gets bigger.

                I guess I just don't like "change" so much, especially when everything was okay before (except perhaps the technical and support issues which we don't see.)

                In any case, this too I'll have to adjust to and I do appreciate all your efforts.
