Any way to change the way that it determines whether or not you have read a thread? The old way where it would show all threads as unread, unless you atually open that thread was IMO much better, and one of the great things about this board.

How about changing the overall color.
This color scheme looks just like one of those other Mustang sites.
(or can we do it ourselves?)
Also, is there anyway to make our name a link to our general profile? (not talking about in a post, but on the main pages - see pic) I used that all the time with the old site.

You can click a users name on the left-hand side to activate a dropdown that gives the clickee a number of options. See the attached picture for an example:

I can see your sig (see attached picture). You need to make sure your options are set to show sigs and avatars.
- Click here to go to your User Options
- Scroll down to Thread Display Options
- Make sure Show Signatures, Avatars, and Images are checkmarked in Visable Post Elements

On the old board anywhere your name popped up, not just in one of your own post, you could click on it to go to the profile. People use it to look up their own posts.

Edit: I get what you are saying. Search function would be the best option to use.

What is being done, about the attachments, as in the picture or file attachments uploaded by members of TMS,, a lot of threads rely on the pictures or the files posted, now if you look at the posts the are from before the migration, you will notice that you can’t see the attachments, which is really annoying since lets say someone attached pictures of his new wheels,, (now we can’t see them anymore) or someone attaches a pdf file with usefull information on how to go about doing stuff. Also gone, so now 80% of the forum is has inadequate information.

EDIT: I am assuming you are only talking about attachments before the migration. You do know attachments work now, right?

I think he's only talking about migrated attachments. So the 80% is refering to old posts that someone would use as reference material.

i couldn't find a bone
anyways
all the post should be there (from what i understand), im not missing any posts, im just saying that the attachments are missing,, so without the attachments the threads/posts seem useless (incomplete, inadequate) , i hope u understood what im talking about

Can you please bring back the "Today's active topics" link that was above the Active Users on the old site. The "New Posts" link at the top only goes back as far as the last time you visited. The old site would let you go back as far as you wanted (as in Today, Last Week, Last Month...). You know, just in case your boss happens to sneak up on you and you have to quickly close out, you can find your place later when he finally leaves you alone.

I'm starting to get multiple emails for each thread I'm subscribed to. The old site would send one email for each response. (VERY annoying) It seemed like the new site was only sending one email for the first response and then stop sending them (no matter how many respones there were) until you checked the thread. PLEASE tell me that's the way the new site is set up and I'm just confused.... as usual.

Anyways, there are three options for subscription notification:
- Instant Notification - which notifies you the instant a new reply comes in.
- Daily Notification - One email, each day.
- Weekly Notification - One email, once a week.
The "batching" mail system is enabled which sends forum emails out in batches (can you image the amount of mail traffic we generate). If you are constantly checking the forums, you might catch a new reply before the email gets to you.
Of course, these features are found under Options in the User CP.
