The threads subscriptions have now been transferred across from the old forum, which shouldn't have affected any you have subscribed to since.

All members will now be informed by e-mail if they receive a private message - This can be disabled if necessary through the 'Profile' link at the top of the forum.

Thanks again
Daniel

Please feel free to vote here on what you think of the new forum version (inc its features) compared to the older one.

Once you vote you have approximately a week from the date of voting to change your mind and remove your vote (bottom right-hand side of voting screen) and vote again.

Also, I would just like to say thanks Daniel for the time you have put in on upgrading the forum and solving the conversion problems.  I believe overall it's a better forum compared to the older one especially now that most (if not all) conversion problems have been solved.

Agreed but it would still be nice if we could get our www.yabbforum.com chums to tell us how to reorder the PMs here so that they appear properly in date order.  Also longer term it would be nice if the update email could take us to the actual post in the thread which is the first new one we haven't read since we last visited the thread.  It seems many other web forum packages now provide such a facility.

Or perhaps they are holding off on this for YaBB V3 which already seems to be in development.

Juby,

The old forum did actually let you change your password to one you could remember in Profile as does this one.  Also one was rarely logged out by it so long as one asked to stay logged in for a large number of hours.

As the for Keeps thing may be knocked out if you clear the Cookies on your PC or run other antispam type applications I would still recommend changing your password to one you can easily remember.

Only 28 to go until your rightful place in the forum hierarchy is restored Dorf.

Daniel,

I've noticed with this version of the YaBB compared to the other one and that is with this version of YaBB you can't use Windows' Undo feature (ctrl-Z) so if we accidently delete a sentence or something we're unable to use the Undo feature.

This feature worked on 1.4 Gold so not sure if this is a setting or something or is a feature that isn't currently supported with 2.1.

Thanks in advance.

I very rarely use the subscription feature to avoid getting loads of emails! lol.

I do have the problem with IE6 appearing to hang when visiting the homepage.  The problem is intermittent and I suspect only happens with those of us still using IE6.

Visiting the main homepage doesn't (well shouldn't), as far as I can see, make any difference to forum as that is on a different page (ie separate) but I agree its only recently this has been happening.  Daniel doesn't use static type pages (html) but instead using php so this could (possibly) be related to YaBB and any files it installed.

A work-around for this is to click on the refresh button (the button with the two arrows in a round shape).

I've found this happens more often after I have cleared my cache which I do every so often.
