I do not like it. Where is the User Control Panel? When I wanted to change my signature it wouldn't let me have more than two lines. Please vote @ my poll about the new site in the Others forum. laugh

Once again ... I am sure I was the last one to see this. I like it Philipp - it really ties the site together.

You can share the user database between multiple forums or sites.

Philipp, would you post a link to the main NTComp page on the main forum page? There used to be one at the bottom, and since the *nix forum has one I was hoping that you could do the same here.

Philipp - also the usual message forum index page link on the main page has been replaced with a link to the 2KSP3 thread. I know I can get back to the forum index from there, I just thought I'd let you know.

When is the new version of the site that is going to have the control panel going to be out? That was a great feature that I miss. That is one of the main reasons I do not like the new site. ;(

The other thing I miss is the "go to first unread post" button - or is it hiding somewhere I haven't noticed?

Yeah, but I keep forgetting to use that button. The old UBB system used to have the same button at the top of each thread.

Overall though, I have to say that I like the look of the new board - something a bit funky!
