Looks like the new forums are up and running, and writable.

So, figured I'd start a topic folks could use to post their nits and nags about the new ones.

Should obviously give the admins some time for things to settle.

My first nit is, simply, there's no search button!

Not when you're logged in.
 
It is a tad annoying being moderated again. Is this going to be until we get some new posts under our belt - or is there going to be a ‘remove moderation’ for seasoned members to save the moderators wasting their time?

I am also trying to view ‘my content’ from my login avatar menu, but I get a warning that I am not allowed to access this feature. Is this a moderation issue also?

Really minor issues though people - liking the new forum and the upgrade seems to have gone well!

Specifying your location in the world or adding a signature? Any tips on doing this?

I feel a good ‘play’ is called for after Christmas lunch :) !

No search button (when logged in) on the top right hand of the screen (iPad mobile). I have my avatar, an envelope and a bell symbol.

My location has appeared a few minutes ago (as has others).

Was this a fluke or excellent service by the administrators?!

I've no idea why you are being moderated, and I am working on this. You are not the only one though.

I suspect this maybe related to the moderation issue.

I managed to re-add the location under the avatar as well as post count. The signature issue may also be related to the moderation thing.
 
Cheers lutiana.

I am definitely liking the new forum though. The planning that has gone on in the background certainly shows.

Thanks very much people - take a bow!

could do without an entire screens worth of rules before seeing any posts.
It's on my list to look into. I want to shorten it to a link to the rules and specifically call out the tiny, hard to see, completely easy to miss "x" in the top right.
 
Yep, hit the cross in the RHS and say bye-bye to them!

Lutiana/Alex - The site is looking better by the minute.

I think you should have it now. Can you confirm this? Top right, next to the bell should be an magnifying glass that enables you to search. Let me know if it is still missing.
 
So far my thread subscriptions haven't made it over -- though my one subscribed forum is subscribed.

Also, how do I form the RSS URL for a specific forum? When I clicked the RSS button it gave me an URL which seems to show every darn thing.

Looks like there is no way to create a dedicated RSS link for each forum, but you can add an entire forum to your follow list with the "Watch" button at the top right and you can specify how you are notified of changes. Outside of that I am not sure I can offer any other info, I don't know that much about RSS tbh.
