Yea thanks Dennis mate. The long way isn't worth the effort though. Its just nice at a glance to know if you can get a conversation going with the OP if there still around or so on. You can give the long answer to get through until tomorrow, or the short quick get answers now type of post . . . . . . If that makes sense ? lol

Personally, I've switched back to the old skin. Having all the forum categories at the bottom of the page felt very inconvenient. It was nice having the topics with activity posted at the top of the page, but if at all possible, I think having all that below the forum categories would be best.

The reason being the forum categories is a short yet very important field, and it doesn't take up much space. Having the topic list underneath it would be good.

That's just my opinion, though Do whatever you want, lol.

A great new look. I was pleasantly surprised to see the new decor when I checked in today. Haven't had a chance to give it a real good go over but first impression is nice and clean looking.

Way to go!!

This site is pretty broken. I have to remove all of the site cookies in Safari and Firefox to even get in. Oddly, OmniWeb seems fine. Then, where are the forums. Half the time I can't find them. I might have just now figured it out. The Forums menu heading is also a selector.

This is the worst upgrade I've seen on any site. What with the cookies?!

xstep, I feel a bit insulted by your comment, but I understand the site isn't working well for you. I'll see if we can help you. If you refer to the 90 posts before yours in this thread, most everyone else is not experiencing the cookie or navigation issue that you are - there might be something special causing an issue for you which we need to figure out.

Are you using anything special to manage cookies or logins?

I've tested firefox, IE, and chrome myself - all seem to be working fine with logging into the forums. If you can PM me further details, or post in this thread, I should be able to help you further.

Did you remove the option to revert back to the old style? I can't even see it on the edit options section. It was working fine less than an hour ago.

Still there (at least on my page--though it appears to have shifted a bit to the right).

It should be near the bottom of the options page here:

It's gone I knew it was there last time, because I witched back after trying the new interface. I tried logging out, resetting cache, and deleting history...nothing. What's weird is that I was using the old interface just 1-2 hours ago.

It's there for me on the new skin, and its also there for Razormac... Can anyone else confirm if they have the option to change their skin on this page:

I don't know why you'd feel insulted by my comments. The thing wasn't working for me and cookies seemed to be the cause, as removing them from both Safari and Firefox fixed those browsers temporarily. Naturally seeing a blank screen isn't much of an upgrade, so that is why I described it as the worst upgrade I've seen. I have yet to decide if I like the look & feel.

As of this very session, this is the first time I have come to this site since the upgrade and it loaded without me removing the previous set of cookies. I just tested FF and it too worked. I don't know what voodoo is happening but I'll hope all has magically been fixed.

I have nothing extra on those two browsers for cookies or logins. I see in Safari that I do block cookies from third party sites and advertisers. It looks like FF is setup in a similar manner.

I've learned my way around the forums issue. I can now find them and my subscriptions. Perhaps subscriptions could be added to the Forum menu.

Thanks for your concern. If the problem returns, I'll repost.

Gone for me as well. It also forced to the new skin because I know I had it set to the old style when I left last night.

I'm in my PlayBook, and I can't see it on here either.
