    This happened to me yesterday and there was a couple of us who said about it.:read:

    I think all it is, is that the page is full and the next post made will start the next page.

    Hmm, is there any chance of getting a "find users posts in this thread" link? I know you can do it by search, but it's just handy having a link in the thread so you can go back through their history in that thread.

    the windows games prefix looks identical to the windows software prefix in the new theme. can you rename it to PC Gaming like it was in the old forums so that i can tell them apart in the new posts list?

    OMFG, what have you done to the images?!!11

    In all seriousness, could you please take out this lightroom plugin? It is designed poorly and works like s*it. (Sorry, it really is.) Plus it is a plugin my 13 year old cousin would want for a site of his, but not something one would expect from a professional site such as this one.

    As has been pointed out it is almost impossible to get a picture showing full size if your screen is smaller. And without looking at the source code (or quoting a post) it is impossible to follow links behind a picture, in some threads leaving us with many small thumbnails.

    Plus it is really annoying that clicking on a picture does not close it but rather loads up the next image. In a project log for example this just doesn't make any sense, as you would want to read the comment.

    I cannot believe nobody would notice this during the beta testing. Will we see more of this "cool" crap in the future because you have been bought, or is it just a matter of bad taste (which will disappear eventually), and this site will remain professional?

    You make a good point, there is a new tag for images which are hard linked to a larger version

    Also, wouldn't this cause problems for people using Flickr (And many other hosting services) where the rules say that any posted image MUST contain a link back to the page on Flickr?

    Can anybody else not access the forums at all from IE?

    Everything up to the vbulletin stuff loads and then it says the site is unavailable.
    Works ok in other browsers though

    Works fine for me in IE in work (although the old version of the forum kept trying to load Adobe Acrobat from the main index and that's been fixed with the new look)
