    My last concern: under the old "my subscribed threads" option, thread with "new" posts would be bold, as opposed to thread with nothing new on them. If you could make it so that that feature is back on again, that would be extremely helpful. I think that would be my last concern/worry.

    After 4+ years I've finally decided to upload an avatar. Uploader doesn't seem to be working. Is that something that has yet to be turned on?

    I'm asking this question again...

    Why are there threads I'm subscribed to that are now locked to replys from me? I get the statement "(You have insufficient privileges to reply here.)" These are threads which are not locked but are active. Please straighten that out...!

    Anyone else noticing this problem...?

    I think Huss has said because data is still being populated - give it a little time.

    Can you message me some example threads so that I can take a look at them?

    DK, since infractions are no longer seen (at least by me), does that mean I still have a permanent 5 pointer in place

    The Watched Forums page has a long series of top level forums that appear, even if you aren't watching any fora underneath. Is that a bug or a feature?

    quote="Indiscretion, post: 25633849, member: 111020"]Just give me back the side forum tree on the left and ill be completely happy. Good job guys on the update[/quote]
    Yep, this is the one of the two big issues you guys have to fix. Navigation is way too cumbersome.
    I had a similar problem. Just mark all forums read, which will mean you will lose notification of some new posts. Then, click on the button before the title and that will take you to the first unread post.

    One problem is that multi clicking on reply only serves to multi-quote threads on one page. Try going to a newer page and clicking reply erases the populated data from the previous page. Multi quote was a nice feature.

    Are red cards gone? If not, do those things expire? It's been almost a full year since Mel B was booted.

    Hi, Huss.

    Tried clicking on the blue dot and it would take to either a. the first post on a thread or b. to a random post on a thread. I'd like for it to take me to new replies that I haven't seen (much like the old system did).

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    It looks like it's based on your past posts per page instead of the last post that was unread for threads that you haven't commented in since the refresh.

    I like where a lot of the functionality is going. The "followers" vs. friends, etc, is in tune with the Digital world.

    Not sure if I like that you can see who repped what posts. Could be good, though. People may be more reluctant to do pile-on posting.

    Echo the comments on the left-hand nav, and navigation in general. This should be the first priority once content is complete.

    Would love to have my wide-screen back, but those are small potatoes. That may be a complaint from other paying members, though.

    Overall, looks like you guys took on a pretty big task and have handled it well. Best of luck through the transition.

    This. In addition, their titles should say "BigSoccer Moderator", but I think that's coming, right?


    Like this, for example. I had no idea he was a mod until I read the post:
    Is he a mod? He talks like one, but I don't know.

    When you're on the Unread Watched Threads page, it's under the listing of threads with new posts...

    Or if there are no new threads, it's right under where it says "You do not have any watched threads that are unread."
