Ok everyone, in order to better track what we are doing/need to do for the new site we're moving to a single topic to track this stuff. We'll try to keep this updated so that you know if something has/hasn't been reported and also so you'll know what has been fixed.

Missing Features
Unread posts sorted by category/board - Fixed
Spell Check - Fixed
Profiles (About Me) - Fixed 5/2
Help section for how to use new site
Ignore button (as opposed to having to go to My Messages to edit ignore list)
Show the original post on each page - Fixed
Differentiate all new posts in a thread

Broken
Non-moderated posts showing up on home page - Fixed
Can't get past first page of ball reviews - Fixed
Bread Crumbs (the little links that go to the sections above the one you are drilled down to)
Ball Reviews showing as being written by "Guest" instead of the person that wrote the review

Because something is in this list doesn't definitely mean we're going to implement it. This just means we've received the suggestion and will be considering it.
Suggested Additions
Double number of recent posts on home page - Done
Remove FS/FT/WTB boards from recent posts on home page - Done
Gallery of avatars
Ignore boards/threads option
Add embed features for more sites (e.g. Vimeo, Ebaumsworld, Facebook, etc...)

The about me data is now available again in your profile. It can be edited in the "Forum Profile" section in the "Profile" dropdown. Please note that some things on your profile might look a little off. We made every effort to transition everything that was in everyone's profile and no data should be missing but some of the styling might be off.

I don't see it addressed as still being broken or fixed, but for awhile any new ball reviews were showing up in the Latest Forum Posts instead of on Latest Reviewed.

I posted a review of the 900 Global Black Eagle on April 16. I checked today and it has my review as a guest. Can this be updated.

When I'm on a "non-mod" topic & read the posts... when I click on the link to go back into the non-mod index I get sent all the way out to the forum index... Been happening yesterday & today.  Clicked on the refresh & it still happening.

I don't like that when you use the "unread posts since your last visit" link, it takes you to the last post in the thread.  Personally, I like the old system of some kind of color difference between old posts and unread posts.  Sometimes there are several new posts and as it is now you have to scroll up to see them.  Also, I'd like to see the original post remain at the top of all multi page threads, not just the first.  Otherwise it can be difficult to stay on subject.

However, thanks again for all the recent work and listening to our concerns.  The site has come a long way in a few days.

Oh, that's what that meant... Ok.  I'm still in transition mode to the new format & now "verbage" as well... LoL!!  Thanks.

Sorry about the confusing terms MP. I was running through the existing bugs quickly and didn't think to try to describe it any more clearly.

Those shouldn't be popping up there any more. We are still doing some work on "Latest Reviewed" though.

That one on the list now. Thanks for the heads-up!

Original post at the top is on there and I've added differentiating all new posts also.

Original post now shows on each page of a topic. If you'd prefer not to have that functionality, you can turn it off in Profile>Modify Profile>Look and Layout (or just go here). Just uncheck the checkbox that says "Show first post on every page".

No problem... was actually my bad... I was just skimming & didn't really read the whole description behind it... It makes sense to me now.
