Old BBCode did not carry over correctly in at least some topics
e.g. http://forum.pirifor...=1entry166405
you'll notice it says QUOTE where there was a quote tag.
I noticed some old links are broken too (I guess its related to the bbcode issue). Some that have been shortened and have "......" in the middle of them try to open the link with that as part of the address.
eg the link in the first post in this thread: http://forum.pirifor...showtopic=27652
What another thing I hate if you click on a link it opens in the same window not a new one. I know you you can right-click and open in a new windows or new tab but you shouldn't have too.

Here's A forum thread re same bbcode issue http://community.invisionpower.com/topic/297981-old-bbcodes-in-html-update-236-304/
but they didn't get very far and were told to go to peer-to-peer
Here's another (from ipb 3 beta) but coder says it was fixed before 3.0 release http://community.invisionpower.com/index.php?app=tracker&showissue=14608
I couldn't investigate anyfurther as Peer-to-Peer is for customers only
Finally - IPB3; I like it!
I was 50/50 on the upgrade didn't like it nor dislike it. Now I'm not caring for it all that much, some things seem to have went backwards. Too bad we have to use IPB!

What do you think would be a better forum host ?
I got an idea! Let's go back to EZBoard & a bajillion pop-ups!
I'm okay with this board set-up. Not too different. Easy on the peepers.
Can't seem to find My Assistant. Help says its link is in the board header, but I don't see it. Duh.
It used to be very easy to find everything!
Kroozer most things such as your messenger and personal profile settings etc are where it says your name at top right of page. Just click on the drop down arrow there.
Yes, I've been using that drop down menu. I can find my posts under My profile \ Find posts. But don't see My Assistant on any of my pages.
What is in the Assistant that you are looking for?
Just the usual stuff which I'm accustomed to going to first whenever I open my account. After the upgrade I went looking for everything in Help and it reads that the My Assistant box is there, but I guess that's an error because it's not true (or it is somewhere, hidden). All the items in that box are still in my account but now redistributed.
Looks like that is what has happened kroozer. All the features mentioned seem to be scattered around the page now.
Perhaps it was part of the forum package but either MrG didn't impliment it, or it has been overlooked.

Currently an Etch-A-Sketch, however the overseas shipping of replies would get expensive.

I noticed that little annoyance. I have Opera configured to open new links in a new tab.
Always worked on the old board, but I can't configure it to do it on this one. Just another backward step for me.

Don't worry about it. I've been searching for features in the "personal messenger" which are not there.
In fact the instructions in the help file describe the old board messenger, and definitely don't describe this one.
This upgrade sucks big time IMHO.
If you want to open links in new tabs, simply middle-click them. I do that all the time without even thinking to it

not realllllly the point (also many of use don't have three button mousey ) but yes
If you want to open links in new tabs, simply middle-click them.
I'm sure that's great if you have a middle button, alot of people are laptop users and don't have that option
As far as the inferior way outside links work now with the upgrade people without a middle mouse button can right click and choose to open them in a new tab.
