It appears that the upgrade forces a login and many, many of you have forgotten your passwords and didn't set up any reminders. Contact me directly through helpmelogin@dodgecharger.com and I'll help sort it out.

Seems to work just fine.

It's been sketchy for a couple days while I tried to sort out all the errors. Even the first hour today was a fail. It seems to be much better now - except slow (and it shouldn't be since it's basically sitting on a racecar of a server). I'll keep tweaking it.

Sarcasm detector, that's a real good invention.

Older? This is the newest of (almost) everything as far as software goes. The interface is cleaner, more functional, and has more modern "feature" (expanding thumbnails and show/hide page elements for instance). The behind-the-scenes stuff is better too - security, administration, indexing, browser support, caching, search engine optimization, database stability and features, programming language stability and features). The biggest thing for me is the anti-spam enhancements. I used to spend about 3 hours a week just deleting and blocking bogus accounts. So far, only one has made it in.

It is definitely different around here. Looks nice :cheers:  The only issue I see is, each discussion board doesn't give a date as to when the last post was made in each topic of discussion, just that new posts are brought to the top of the discussion board. So, if your not signed in, and don't have access to the unread topics button, you're potentially going to either miss out on a subject, or keep checking back looking at old topics to see if they're still in discussion or not.

The old layout told you when the last post was, who made it, and the number of views. This one does not. I guess we just go by the "New" icon next to the title

My phone doesn't show that information, just a box to mark them as read.
