Hhhmmm, looks like the password issue seemed to be common. The 2 emails made perfect sense as a security measure. The first was to confirm you wanted to change your password and made sure it wasn't some crafty individual trying to hack your account. Clicking the link in the email confirmed that the owner of the account was indeed initiating the password reset. The 2nd email contained the temporary password. The trouble I was having for the past couple evenings was that the temporary password in the 2nd email would not permit me to log in--it kept saying it was an incorrect password when I tried to log-on. Same routine tonight and it seems to have worked this time!

As far as appearance, this looks fine to me. Functionality will take some getting used to, but if memory serves me correctly, the old format was also foreign when I first joined the site and I adapted fine. I'm confident that after a couple weeks of exploring, I'll feel the same here. One question I have is regarding links. In the previous format, all links would open in a new window with a basic left-click. Is that possible to do on here? If not, I'll just have to remember to right-click and open in new tab/window.

I'm really, really, happy to see you guys making it back in!! It is quite confusing, and I'm still having some problems with it myself when logging in. It seems like when you enter what you know is the proper password, it may still tell you it is incorrect, but when you refresh the page, you are logged in! This will all clear up pretty soon, and one day we will all wonder what the fuss was about. (At least I hope so!)

Welcome back to all who've made it, and anxiously awaiting the rest!! 🙂

I have had none of the password woes you guys have had. And I tested several accounts as testers to different spam fences we installed for new users. Hang in there though. We will make it as smooth as humanly possible.

If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.

I agree with USNAirpower. It would be great if the top forum menu indicated new posts. I don't menus of menus - but I'll put up with it from OPShots. 🙂

Thanks for the input guys, and glad to see more are making it in!

As for the "new posts" questions...aren't the new posts displayed right there at the bottom? Where it says "latest discussions?" Or am I not getting what you're saying?

Massey...did you experience any difficulties getting your password reset, or did the change we made yesterday make a difference?

And yakC130...is this one less dorky?! 🙂

It's getting better. I can't wait until we get the email notifications again that take us to the last posted comment.
