I know what you're thinking....
It's too bright. - Click your avatar/initial on the top right, click account settings, select preferences, select dark mode.
Where did my avatar go? -Chances are, if it was linked from another site, it's insecure. Just upload a new one. If it's not displaying right you can adjust it in the settings again.
My pictures aren't showing - give it some time, it will take a while to fully sync.
I hate it, I can't find anything - relax, it's a forum. its different but it's intuitive. Anyone posting "I'm off" messages will be openly mocked if I ever see them online again, so don't bother.
Why change it, there was nothing wrong before - except the search function didn't work, uploading pictures was horrific, the mobile version was awful, Google hated it, vbulletin is old clunky and insecure, young people don't know how forums work, blah blah blah. Fact is, if we don't do this, the forum WILL die.
Too many ads - pretty sure you use other social media, watch football or formula one or watch network television. Ads are part of life, get used to it. There WILL be changes but for now, suck it up
Why can't I edit a thread, - same as before, there is a time limit.
Where are my PM's - they're now called conversations, in your settings, top right
I posted a thread and I can't see it in new posts - uncheck the "unread only" check box, it won't show you threads you've read and the assumption is that you read what you wrote.
It's too much like Facebook, to much space, whats all this likes, medals and other stupid stuff - welcome to 2020 Grandad, suck it up
I've watchd over 300 sites migrate, I think that is the majority of initial niggles but whatever "beef" you have, tell me and I'll set you straight.
I am SO pleased we have upgraded, I know LOTS of you will initially hate it but I am here to guide you.
