I recall Neil, stated, that this was an, off the shelf software, so that being said, like RTR,off the shelf, does not play well, on everyone's system. Just a Thought!

Okay. This is a little scary. Reminds me way too much off my employer. Make a major change...don't tell anyone...then when something goes wrong or no one knows...wham! Send them to the umemployment office.
Glad I can't become unemployed being away from this forum for 2 days...or was Model Railroader mag just bought out by my employer? Hmmm!?

I also used to get a email that alerted me to the fact that I had a private message and I could actually read it on the email or read it on here. That feature seems gone too?
I got neither a notice here that I had a message, nor an email alert. How is one to know they have a PM messagge?

After long and careful thought, they have convinced me. I have come to the conclusion that they are right. The aliens did it.

Thought I was on the wrong site when I first logged on this morning.
Read some, then decided I should have my morning coffee before tackling anthing that would take brain power or logic to complete.
Came back, looked around some,
Decided that this would be a two coffee morning

I have the same,experience, no e-mail alert and don't know I have a New message,unless,I click on it. Sent Motley, a message,he replied at 1:51 and I did not know,until now when I clicked on new messages.
Once I learn my way around its not to bad.
First clue for me was my MRR favorites link was dead. Was a new link really necessary to change the format? This is definitely going to take some getting used to....which exacerbates the zero MR heads up of the forum change before the fact....
Kyle WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE IS NO SPELL CHECK??? Are you on the same forum as me??? Gidday Kyle, I think I must be, otherwise how did you quote me??? I'm with Galaxy on this one, if there is a spell check function, then it ain't working for me. Not that it matters too much, I will just not have to be so lazy. Bheers, teh Cear.

Maybe it is because I am using an I-Phone (with the IOS-6, I hate the IOS-7 when I see it on other peoples phones), but it just comes up as I am typing.
Also, the pictures you guys are posting are going off the side of the screen so I can't the right side. A few of the longer post are also being spilt in half so I can't read them.
We aren't getting email sent to us anymore and dad reset my notifications an signature and also logged in and out and we still get nothing. Now we just tried again an got server error. Gonna take some fixing to get bugs out thats for sure.

In quick reply tyhe box it refers to is a tiny box within the box with the instructions. On my computer it's anything but 'quick'. I have no problem with the standard reply box. I type my reply, scroll down and click 'Submit Your Reply' and it's done.
I liked the old system better. However, I have noticed that the site now works much better on my Android mobile device. So possibly the reason for swicthing to different software was to be more compatiable with tablets and mobile devices?
OK, now here's a weird problem. I just did an update on my Cascade Branch thread. You can read it here:
http://cs.trains.com/mrr/f/88/t/219241.aspx?page=2
Not sure if the link will work. Another I tried to make elsewhere didn't so...
Anyway, I made my update, then went back to the 1st page of General Disc to see the updated thread.
Nothing.
Went back to thread. The new comment is showing, but it shows I made it back in October!
So this new software is apparently equipped for time travel. Better let your loved ones know, just in case you disappear into another dimension while logged on here.
What I did was simply use the reply to button for the last comment, then edited it out the text that I somehow inadvertently quoted while hitting reply, then wrote my new update comment. I posted it and -- POOF! -- we're back in October.
You've been warned.
I will note that I've had that window open since before the update today, so it may have been some weird cookie interaction due to that...

No, mlehman, the link did not work for me.
Another thing I found i don't like is that at least when I posted a new thread on the bottom of a page, it used to give me a "tool bar" with the forum choices links at the bottom of the page. Now I have to scroll back to the top to get to it.
you know the: Home>> Model Railroader>>Forums>>general discussion(Model Railroader) YEAH, THAT link line!
There may be some other way of doing so, but I sure don't know it, and relied on the links at the bottom of the page!

Gidday Mike. I managed to get there by highlighting the address, right clicking, and choosing the go to option. Am just going to see if I can make your link clickable. I am slightly confused, not that hard to do actually, did you actually manage to update your thread or am I thinking of a previous WPF ?
http://cs.trains.com/mrr/f/88/t/219241.aspx?page=2 EDIT. Didn't Work !!!
Another whinge, when changing from italics or bold to normal font, the previous text reverts to what I am changing too.
I'm using Windows Vista and Google Chrome, if it's worth anything.
Cheers, the Bear.

Early on in this thread, Neil Besougloff, editor of MR magazine said to relax, that it's just new forum software that goes along with the new website. It's an off-the-shelf product. With all due respect, why not return the product? It is so bug filled as to be laughable. If I had downloaded this software on my computer, I would quickly uninstall it and remove all traces from my registry. I think our forum is now infected with malware.
I haven't seen this complaint so far in this thread so here goes my new whine:
My computer used to stay logged on to the MR website, at least in that when I logged in my name came up most of the time. Today, I seem to have to log in every time I return to the forum. PITA!
I am going to honour Neil's request to relax and wait for them to work the bugs out. However, if I ever become a multi-billionaire I will make it my purpose in life to squash every IT manager who justifies his or her existance by changing things just because they can. For heaven's sake if you are going to make a change then get it right! If you don't fully understand the implications of the change you are going to make then don't make the bloody change! OH dear, I said I would relax. My bad.
Today was a triple whammy for me. MR decided to screw up their format and the Canadian Rogers Yahoo Mail site decided to do the same thing! Then I couldn't send important e-mails to several of my relatives because of another system botch up. GRRRRR!!!
OK Neil - I'm trying to relax but it isn't working. I think I'm going to have another drink.

I'm just a dude with a bad back having a lot of fun with model trains, and finally building a layout!
Just curious,
JaBear,
I did not change, to bold type either, it came out that way, when I copied, the link, from your post.
So far, I have not had any problem's, making my link clickable, only trying other's.
Another whinge, when changing from italics or bold to normal font, the previous text reverts to what I am changing too. Angry I'm using Windows Vista and Google Chrome, if it's worth anything. Cheers, the Bear.
Bear,
I'm using Firefox 25 and Windows XP right now and I'm not experiencing what you're experiencing. At home I have Firefox 25 and Windows 8 and get the same result. Time to "upgrade to XP".
Trying your clickable link: http://cs.trains.com/mrr/f/88/t/219241.aspx?page=2...Nope - Not me either. At least the older one in my signature is still working.
