I can access my user CP but the ignore list is blank and there is no "favorites" listing.

One quick thing - not a problem, but a recommendation. The Thread "Display Mode" should default to Linear Mode instead of Threaded Mode. That is how it used to be on the old software. For people not familiar with the new VBB software, at first glance, Threaded Mode makes it difficult to view replies to topic. Make sense?
On a side note, thanks so much for all the hard work on getting things up and running Parker, Ron and everyone else involved. I know it had to be a royal pain doing something of this magnitude unexpectedly. We (the members) truly appreciate all your efforts!

Glad to see you're back. The format is a little different and will take some getting used to, but it's nowhere near as unappealing as the last time the forum was remodeled for a couple of days!

I second everything Zack said, Default = Linear, & great work guys.
Also want to thank Zack, as I had no idea you could change the display mode or how.

Links to old HTF posts are out of date now. Is upgrading those going to be part of the upgrade as well--though I can understand that it wouldn't be a very high priority, with lots of other stuff being more important to take care of first--or should we go ahead and update them ourselves?

Hey Parker! I know appearances can be deceiving, but things from our perspective are looking like they are going pretty smoothly so far!  I hope, to some extent, they are going well for you.
I echo the sentiment about wanting a "favorite thread" option so we don't need to scroll through the listing of every sub-forum on our index page.
And, it appears that, as of now, when you post to a thread...the only way to navigate back to the sub-forum you are in is to scroll all the way back to the top of the page to click on the link which tells you where you are. There used to be a parallel link at the bottom of the thread page.
The drop-down menu is at the bottom of the page if you want to navigate to another sub-forum...but if you post in software/high-def and want to go back to software/high-def you have to climb all the way back to the top of the page and click on software/high-def.
Congratulations, dude.
EDIT**: Well, a little experimentation shows that the drop-down menu at the bottom of the page WILL now allow you to select software/high-def and click "GO" and take you back to the sub-forum. That didn't used to work that way with the old software. "Never mind."

Looks like you also need some kind of a "wrap around" feature for threads which have a large number of pages. Multiple pages are listed on a single horizontal line. Threads with lots of pages cause the horizontal scrolling bars to kick in and kinda screw up the look of the page.

I assume the 'subscribed threads' are history?
Glad you're back and hope everything goes smoothly getting back to normal.

It's great to see HTF back up and running!
A few things I noticed on the new software:
1. Before I logged in, all posts in each thread were listed individually instead of each thread containing multiple posts per page. This may be the same thing that Zack R is talking about :

The Thread "Display Mode" should default to Linear Mode instead of Threaded Mode.
|
This was not an issue after I logged in.
2. The html tag icons (i.e. Bold, Italics, Underline, etc.) and smile icons do not appear in the reply / post section.
3. '\' marks have appeared in several users' signature lines (check-out George Kaplan's and Mike Frezon's for examples on this page).
Again, it's great to see HTF back up and running. Best of luck over the coming days and weeks as you guys continue working on the software upgrade and implementation. Your hard work and efforts are truly appreciated!
