    Please report bugs here. Please note that for the first few hours of Monday, our caching servers have to catch up to our main servers.

    We also are aware of a bug on the New Post and New Reply screens in regards to formatting.

    Thanks.

    For the BigSoccer Premium skin, the message window for all posts is only at half length.

    I assume the rep is gone (not a bug, I suppose)?

    When I'm using the quote/reply function, the right side of the image is cut off at about midway through the second smileys column (i.e., the image is slightly too wide for the space allotted for it).

    And I'm surprised by how irritated I am that the rep function is gone. I guess I actually enjoyed it.

    Hopefully it's not a bug and you do get rid of the rep.

    i liked leaving rep for people that had posts I liked. just a little cyber pat on the back sort of thing.
    but others abused it, so I understand.
    oh well .... least of my concerns, I guess.

    The result tag isn't as invisible as it used to be.

    Very disappointed that rep is gone. I enjoyed leaving notes for others when they posted something I really liked; and I'm not too proud to admit that I enjoyed receiving rep from others as well.

    Boo.

    Tags might be the best part of the update. It's like an even faster advanced search (for instance, if poeple now tag "Adu", I can find all threads that have that tag. The traditional advanced search has to be 4 letters or more so Adu gets boned by that).

    Hopefully the tags wont get abused though...but I don't see that happening.

    Wow, the new page looks like cap.

    Why do you guys keep trying to make the messages more narrow?

    And why did you get rid of rep?

    I actually like the new page, minus the narrowness of the posts showing up...

    When I click the "new reply" button, the reply box overflows the page on the right side a bit...(see screenshot)

    Rep was one of my favorite things on this site. It was original, fun, and wasn't abused as much as some might want to believe.
    I am extremely disappointed by the upgrade as I do not see anything beneficial to the site and cool stuff like rep is gone. :(

    Well, the width is what makes it look like crap, IMO.

    Will the "mark read" feature be added back?

    I found it helpful because I don't want to open every thread and the unbolded thread titles (for "read" threads) are easier on the eyes than the bolded thread titles (for "unread" threads).

    After being infractioned for just posting my opinion on the rep, I don't know if I should respond to your post with fear of being infractioned again.

    But I do sort of agree with you. The only reason that I rep is to leave a message to the posters if I liked their posts, or also if I didn't, instead of going through the hassle of PMing, it serves as a quick form messaging. However, there is many people who abuse this system, and in my opinion it would be better off it they get rid of it and maybe just leave the messaging option that goes with the rep.

    Jeez, you guys didn't read my first post. The overflow on the reply and newpost pages is a bug, that we are aware of and fixing.

    We have not touched the width of messages. The rep system was off while the caching servers caught up. Once they are caught up, it gets turned back on.

    There is a color in the wrong place it seems.

    See first post. See above.

    Yes, where you see "new posts" in the header, will be a new pulldown menu with the main features you need like mark read, etc.

    There was an option for BS367 to switch back to the old skin, it's no longer there.

    In MyBigSoccer under "deleted iems", I am seeing other users deleted messages. Not sure if that stuff should be made public.
