We'll make this easier to find in due course. For the time being, if you go to the forum index and click on my subscriptions you should find any threads you're subscribed to.

Unfortunately the forum was actually very broken but that happens if you don't update your forum software for 13 years and add multiple modules that don't follow any sort of coding guidelines. Ideally things would have been kept up-to-date and 'upgraded' slowly but this is where we're at. We have a long list of improvements to implement as well as various design changes in the coming months so we should end up in a better place than we were before.

Thanks.

did you ever use paypal before? like years ago? it was very simple format, then they made it look "new" and horrible to use

just says "no subscribed threads" sorry but the new layout sucks, the old format was fine, I will probably just stop using :(

The old format might have looked fine, even that is subjective, under the hood it was very very far from fine.

Also, no need to say sorry. Maybe just give things a bit of time, we do have a lot of fixes to implement.

Thanks

thailer I found that it's because it inputs your username in the first field for an email. If you remove that, it doesn't try to update your email address and goes ahead as you want it to. There are a couple flaws still in there in that you can't change your post counts per page or change your background options.

it does automatically add my name in the email field so i will try that. i think ATUK can do some codes to make that part not happen and it work smoothly but until then.

oh you guys, it is like every other forum now and after a little while the bugs will get fixed.

safari OS on my iphone mobile layout for the website is difficult to manuever through but once i got on my chrome OS computer, navigation was MUCH better and i quickly learned how to find some of the stuff. each time i log on it gets better and better.

I appreciate a lot of work went into the new Revision.

It is at bottom of page, not top, so have to scroll to bottom.

But before you click on the thread you want to open, there is a >> symbol that if you click, it will take you to the very last post of that thread. Not perfect if you want the top of the last page, but it's something.

Has anyone else figured where the Search / advanced search button is hidden.

Currently the only way Iv'e found to get the old search function back is to go to icmag.com/search

Could we possibly have a button or the search function added to the top of the page, instead of me having to type it manually. Or is it somewhere else obvious that im missing?

it depends on how you are viewing ICmag. the search is towards the top of the page on mobile but it is in a drop down box. to get the drop down box, theres three lines in a box on the left top side.

which is why i am back. lol

so on the iphone mobile website, there is no forum button on the drop down box where there is also options for vendor, groups, subscribe. if i click the ICmag badge icon up top, i can find the forum list that way but there is no option called New Topics which looks like the closest to New Posts was before the changeover.

Feel kinda like I just drove into the town I’ve lived outside of for the past 22 years and someone changed all the road signs. Im sure it’ll get better but for now whoever did this needs to be introduced to the “claw” lmao
I've gotten a server error 5 times trying to type this out

Thanks for posting the pic mate

I am accessing IC from a computer using google chrome. At the top of my page, the drop down icon and 3 dots is not displayed. I can see Forums, vendors, groups, subscribe, advertise and contact us all displayed, but no drop down box containing search box, member list or calendar options available.

i am also using a chrome os chromebook and you're right, there's no search box to look up info on topics in the whole forum. i have a search box that will appear once i start to scroll down to read a thread but when i try to search for something, the search box is just for that thread only.

Yes exactly this mate, glad to see im not the only one.

The only way I can search is by typing icmag.com/search in the web browser, hopefully this can be corrected soon and we can have a dedicated search button added again.

As posted above, Google is good, but I miss the advanced search feature, which is still available, but currently not accessible from the main page for desktop / laptop users

Thats good news.

a filter to pull up the 'latest posts in subscriptions' would be great

there was a button for that before I know it...was the way I navigated the site

This new overhaul I'm sure will open things up in long run like you said

There is a addon that offers different themes which allows you change your background color. I’m sure they will add it when they can.
