new format?.. what happened to some of the content I contributed to some of the threads?

[Centerline2]

I got to my computer tonight to see what new was on the site, and I couldnt sign in... it said I entered the wrong username or password... I did not. so I clicked on "forgot password" and went thru the motions to reset my password... I set it to the same as it was before, THEN it worked and I was able to log in...

after getting logged in, I see a new format and then notice some of my content missing from some of the threads I posted in. the content was in no way offensive, negative or personalized... nothing that should have been deleted, yet its not there... what happend to it, and how many others lost some of their contributions to threads?

Thaks for the support! As you noticed we have transitioned to a new software package. The conversion from the old software went pretty well, but is not perfect. There is a time gap of about a week where recent posts did not get converted, and there are a few old topics that had errors and did not get converted.

Thanks again for your support, and rest assured that we will not have to go through this challenging process again.

Many links in topics arent showing or just goes back to start page of Forum, very many good pics and links are missing.

Even own started topics arent there anymore or where have they moved???? Annoying!

Hope you can get this to work...

So, avatars didn't make the switch, but I was tired of that old fat dude in mine anyway. How about PMs?

[diveguy]

That's funny Jeff.

Besides the missing content this new format looks like forum by Fisher Price. Sorry but the look and feel is awful. Hope you get it worked out soon.

Yea, that was funny! I thought about posting a photo of myself, and kept thining about it.

Haven’t looked for the PM’s. I think they are in the notifications box at the very top.

So far pretty hard to navigate and find things. The old verson was very simple and easy to navigate. Hope this gets figured out. Where can you find your own topics??

Top right of the screen, to the right of the forum image/logo is a search box. Use the down arrow, and choose advanced options. There is a field for user. Easy peasy.

You guys will figure out this software really quick. Folks that frequent other forums will recognize the interface as Vbulletin is the most popular forum software in the english speaking countries.

Here we go again. My favorites are where?? My topics are hiding too?? Tech section etc.

The pull down menu next to the user name at the top right corner:
can we get favorites added in there also? I've probably got 2-3 pages of favorited threads that I reference but can't seem to locate them, also where did our kick ass emoticons go these ones are lame haha

It changed my member name from RobMick to rmmick.....? Cannot find RobMick as a member..lost all my "seniority" too....

I like it. I've always been a big fan of VBulletin. Big transition, but will be fine. Thanks!

I thought that too, but everything there starts with "boc admin" and then references different past threads. At least on the first of nine pages showing. Nothing in the in or out boxes either.

[Technomadia]

This really frustrating - all the replies we received with dealing with our damaged 4788 seem to have been deleted.

And I can't find my favorited past posts anywhere - meaning that all the topics I had carefully bookmarked are gone.

Just what on earth is the purpose and benefit of this switch??!?
