Quote - 1) There is no longer any alert on the forum pages for Instant messages. Great. Forums is where I spent all my time here now I cant even see when people are contacting me without going to another part of the site

I just click "messaging" at the top of the page and see if I have any messages. It's a pain though. > Quote - 2) I can no longer track the threads ive read. Ive got a mark all read, and mark all after 9:32am read (whatever the crap THAT is good for???) but any read link STAYS unread. Sucks.

Just above the blue bar that has "Threads, Authoris, Views, Replies", there is a "sort by". Click that and you can sort by date posted or last post. With last post, the threads with new posts are moved to the top. However, don't ever click "mark all read", because that will mark everything read whether it's new or old. Instead click the "mark all read prior to XXX time", which is the time you appeared in the forum. It's not great, but at least we can have the new posts show at the top instead of combing through pages and pages. > Quote - 3)I get no ebot alerts any longer, even with notification checked.

Can't help you with that one. > Quote - 5)When im in the poser forum, and I click start new thread, first thing I have to do is to choose what forum to post in???? Where the hell would I want to post other than in the forum I selected to start a new post from??? UBER-SUCKS.

There are two options for creating a new thread. One at the very very top called "start thread", and another just below the banner box called "new thread". If you click the very very top one called "Start Thread", that is when you are asked which forum you want to post in. If you click the "new thread", below the banner box, you don't get asked that question.

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
