The new forum

The K4Kid is back!
Had a very difficult time reregistering, kept me locked out and notified me I didn’t have current MR subscription when I did. About a half hour of persistence and I finally got back into the forum.
I like the changes, bergie you need to fine tune the reregistering problem, seems I’m not the only one who had trouble.
Anyway nice work on the new site!

I can’t type. It keeps beeping and highlighting stuff on the page whenever I type a different letter[:(!]

I had no problems getting on.[:)]

The A train is back. Had a confusing time trying to get back into the forum too. The site looks good.

No problems here just had to re-register.

Had no trouble either

Anyone notice the time being displayed on the messages? I wonder how it displayes time as PM when it is only 9:00 AM EDT. I do believe they have problems.

I tried to re-register as an existing user and it kept responding that my email was not in the list cound not be found and my password did not work. So I then went to the section to register as a subscriber but as a new web user and entered in my personal information, then it found and recognized my old forum ID and then I entered my password and it finally took.

Registration was a breeze for me.

It took a short time for the system to find me as I shred the mailing labels and didn’t know my subscriber #, but it was fairly smooth.

The only thing I don’t like at all is that the page number navigation appears ONLY at the bottom of the page and not both on the top ans bottom like the old forum.

Yeah, I had to fumble about for a couple of minutes to figure out which links to click to re-register, but it seems to have taken. (We’ll see if this actually posts…)

I think the new layout is quite an improvement - cleaner, easier to navigate.

And the obligatory smiley test:

Go to your update profile page and select your correct timezone.

Registration went as advertised for me. No problems.

It appears that most (not necessarily all) of those who had problems re-registering did not take time to read the email they received about re-registering. The process was a bit misleading IF you did not read the email. If you read it and followed it most people breezed right through it.

Once I read the email it was smooth sailing. The new look is very nice, but it will take some getting used too.

John

I had some difficulty too. The re-registration process was not very clear. I eventually managed to figure it out.

Followed directions, very easy for me

Hi bsteel4065 here, just scraped in under the fence I think. And yep, the logging on for the first time is odd. YES, I am a suscriber … I’m now a guest? Whatever. My, I can even smell the fresh paint in here. Is there an echo? Frightening to know I joined in 2001.

Anyway, hi everyone, let’s go!

Cheers

Well, being a crotchety old codger who doesn’t really like change all that much, the new format will take some getting used to. However, after I fumbled around a few times and finally re-read the email (when all else fails, RTFM!), I managed to get back on. I expect the start-up glitches will go away in time… [:)]

I do wish they’d left the preview as a pop-up or at least go to a new window/tab. I hate having to hit the “back” button all the time…
