First, the background sure is white. Just way too much white on my Macbook Pro. Hurts the eyes.

Two, when I just posted a response to another thread, I noticed that there was no longer a preview, which I used a lot.

Third, what's with the Alert/Trophies?

There is a 'Preview' option where you click to post. Under 'More Options button.

I have a feeling it will be a few days or even longer to add everything in and make things more familiar. I had to move a Vbulletin forum before. It's not anywhere as easy it sounds. It's amazing how many things disappear when you add in something new. o_O

EDIT TO ADD: if this ends up being like disboards, it will be a nice change. That's been my favorite forum format as you never have to scroll through a thread to see new posts. It automatically takes you to the first post you haven't already read.

Another observation- posted here to avoid starting another thread. The Search function still doesn't work on a Kindle Fire tablet. I was used to it being inoperable. On vbulletin, but hoped that when we migrated, it would. Oh well.

Where do we pick up our trophies? I have room available on my mantle. :)
I would prefer the background color be ecru or eggshell, myself.

I liked on the old one where the posts you haven't read yet were in bold. Now I can't tell where I left off reading. I don't like the white background and some of the print is too small.

Hmmm, I didn't notice the preview this morning, in fact, I don't see it right now.

OK, "Preview" is under "More Options".

Also, there is no "quote", instead it's now "reply".

OK, there is another problem. If you press "Post (or was it Save Changes?)", it doesn't look like it did anything, so if you press post a second or third time, it will post a second and third time. Oops. delete-delete.

The delete is not working, so I still have a double post = Post #8 below.

I second your comment about the lack of bold titles for unread messages. I hope there is an alternate indicator or a way to work around this. :-(

bold thread titles should still indicate unread messages, that functionality hasnt changed.

it wont however show that unless you are logged in.

*note the duplicate/post issue has been resolved.

please try to keep the reported issues in the thread at the top so we can consolidate them all in once place. thanks!

yes, tapatalk is disabled as it broke something else once enabled and ive not heard back from their support.

it is noteworthy to mention that this new version of the forums automatically detects mobile devices and should display a much more mobile friendly version on smartphones and tablets.

I agree, whatever system FlyerTalk is using, I really like that one. One nice feature they added recently, it shows the original poster who started that thread. Elli

But where do you click to get to last post read in an existing thread, it used to be to the left of the heading, but that doesn't work now, takes you back to the beginning.

OK, it looks like one needs to first click on "mark forums read" in the menu bar and globally mark all sections as "read." THEREAFTER threads with new messages will appear BOLD (as with the old BBS). :)

I liked, and will greatly miss, the member profile posted below the poster's name whereby the region of the country in which he/she lived was indicated, along with the resorts owned. That bit of info gave me a better idea of their personal perspective regarding their post. Wish that would reappear!

Yes it is there, but it is much harder to get to when just reading the forum. Seeing the resorts for a poster made responding to certain questions easier since you could get an idea of what they wanted if they didn't specifically indicate it in their question.

doug has fixed this, but for now members will need to re-enter that data in their profile for it to appear.
