Don't like the new color scheme (the white with blue text and small font is tough on the eyes) and it's difficult to discern where the "post" is and what's a signature, and where the next "post" begins etc. The layout doesn't separate the posts well . . . and I don't like the new terminology >:P
I DO like the fact that all sections of the forum (or "categories", I guess) are accessible on the left hand side though. That's nice, rather than having to go back to the main page to get around.

I dont mind change but no idea whats going on in the forums. The left side of my page is cut off. The categories are listed on the top of the page, which doesn't look right. Should I be changing some configurations on my computer? Using IE.

When I click on "Recent Discussions", which i assume is supposed to act like the old "New Posts" link, ALL of the Announcement threads sort to the top (regardless of how recent they actually are). That's quite annoying...

1) To see your posts - when you click on your avatar, it brings you to your personal info. On that there is Discussions - which are threads you've started and Comments - that is the former view your posts
2) I think they re-set the entire forum, so everything is considered un-read. After you've begun reading a thread, there will pop up a yellow number of new posts indicator that will tell you a thread you've been reading has new posts. As others have said, click on the time under the most recent comment poster and it will bring you to where you left off. Otherwise, everything else is considered new (so it will bring you to the first post.
3) Threads you've posted in will have a slight greying on the main category page, so you know what discussion you've interjected in.
Still exploring and getting used to it, but it would have helped if they posted a translation description like this. I mean, as they were going through the hard code, they would have done that, so why not post it to save some of this anguish. I agree with the theory that exploring and trial and error are the best way to learn, but some of the early frustration could have been avoided with a simple if you are looking for this feature, here's where it is. That way we could spend time exploring all the great features we've been told about (haven't gotten to that point, yet) instead of resetting our reality.
As for criticisms - my only one so far (trying to take time rather than fire away) is regarding the PM's. Along with the ones others have stated, there doesn't seem to be an easy method with which to PM someone from a discussion. We used to be able to click on a PM button on someone's comment to privately discuss their post. I have to assume that feature still exists, so maybe I'll find it. But, as it is now, it appears you have to PM the person and let them know what they hell you're referencing (and as others have said - don't click on the avatar - that brings you to the Facebook like functionality. I don't think that leads to a PM of the discussion).
EDIT: Also don't like the time limit on editing posts. Yes, editing can be abused, but so what? It serves far more greater functionality than the few people who edit stuff to hide something they shouldn't be doing (e.g. aside from set list threads - drunken posts that folks think better of later).

Sorry. The world doesn't work the way you tell it to.
I don't need a facebook-like wall or something, this is what I use facebook for. I liked here that stuff is a little less direct and more anonymous. I also don't like that you cannot edit posts any time. And I don't like that I actually have to lean in in order to see something on the screen. And it would be sweet if they brought the location thingy back. It was cool to see where people are from or what they chose to put in there. I would never have gotten to know my husband if it weren't for that location function...
I tried to change my colours and fonts on Firefox, but it changes it for every website that I open. So I changed that back :-q
I walked around a little in here, but so far, I am not liking it at all :-$ And where is the awesome popcorn smiley?

Please, Pearl Jam, consider a Benaroya Hall vinyl reissue!
Another thing I've seen that upset people is the small comment box - well as I saw with my last post - it auto expands as you get long winded. That's actually an improvement over the last version where while the initial box was bigger, it scrolled once you filled it (which on certain computers gave me issues as I tend to get very verbose).
Sorry. The world doesn't work the way you tell it to.
I do realize the old forum was on a white background, but at least each post was in its own 'box' so it helped break up each one, made it much easier to make a visual separation between them.
There is too much white, and it reads WAY too much like FB. I *hate* fb's format, it's too overwhelming. I liked the old forum because it wasn't trying to be like FB, seems all sites are trying to integrate with FB-now even this place, no thanks. What's gonna happen when FB goes the way of MySpace? It already is headed that way.

Your browsers will usually allow you to adjust font selection and size. I use Command/Control with the += key to enlarge and Command/Control -_ to reduce the font size. It works on PC and Mac. I don't have a smartphone so can't help with that yet.
PMs are in Inbox, not Activity. I don't use Facebook...is that a Wall under Activity? Anyway, it's definitely a public area.
Will try to help as I can.
Thank you for all the polite comments and suggestions. They will help through this initial period.
MMMMMMM got a problem here with the new forum and its a strange one. I have been a member on this forum for over a couple of years my user name is steve73. I tried to log in this morning to the forum but said i was using the wrong password. Then on my third or fourth time trying it has now created a new member for me using my password as the new member name yeti66 (have since changed password on my account). Anyone had a similer problem ? Have emailed 10 club so will see if they can help me :-/

Posted on the other thread but thought maybe this is a better place for such questions:
"May have been said somewhere else but.... how can you quickly see which are the threads you have posted in when you look at the forum (eg The Porch)? Before there used to be the coloured squares with a little red square when you had contributed to a thread - what replaces that?
EDIT (within the 60 minutes allowed - I do not like this time limit!) - I just noticed - the threads you post in are shaded grey.
ANOTHER EDIT - it's not the threads you posted in that get shaded grey but those you have clicked on to read.....
So... my question still stands then... Anybody know? "
I like the way the forum headings or topics or whatever you call them are on the left of the screen. But I don't like the blue boxes around them with the white and black text. Looks sloppy.
I like the auto-save when you are typing a comment. That's pretty cool.
The avatars look squashed.
Looks like it is easier to edit your profile. The old board it seemed like I had to do it twice or in two separate places.
Hmmmm.. how do you delete your own comments now? I don't see it.
You can't...you can only 'edit'...within 60 minutes mind you.
