I'm not able to turn the Instant Messages function on. I went and tried to change it to "Yes", typed the password and hit update, but if I try to reload the page it goes back to "No" and it won't let me send messages. This on laptop and mobile as well. I will check it out and fix sir. |

The green button - "Jump To Last Post Read" STILL doesn't work. I read an entire thread and when I clicked the button, it took me the the 3rd last page. Using Firefox Are you refreshing the page that the green arrow is on? Sounds like it's caching your links. Did it send you to the same spot over and over? |

@GoatBoy I have to issue a formal apology for being a cock when you first implemented the new site. It is coming along really well and I like it now that the bugs/features have been addressed. I really like it. Thanks for your hard work. It's ok, people are emotionally vested in the site and I understand that. BUT, I always am here to work to improve things and nothing is ever final. I've said it 1000 times and the site will continue to be improved and tweaked until the day I die or can't do this anymore. I appreciate the apology, but it's not needed sir. |

If I hit the back button and refresh the main General Discussion forum page and click on the green arrow for the Gun Safe Gatlinburg thread, it puts me at the bottom of the first page. It should put me at the 6th post. |

Maybe it's been mentioned, but the thing I miss most is the little arrow that you could click on the old website to take you to the latest post in the thread. Now, at least on mobile, I have to click the last page of the thread and scroll to the bottom everytime.
Otherwise, I quite like the new site. |

Update will be ready later tonight. It's another big one. Are you putting changes up on the beta site first? I just noticed that the thread topic view is MUCH improved on mobile (awesome idea - would love to see the authors displayed that way in Subscriptions as well). I went and checked the regular site (I browse using the beta site 99% of the time) and I saw that the change was live there as well. Was it on the beta site first? Are changes still being pushed to the beta site before being made to the live site? |

may have been addressed in the previous 14 pages.....and it's a small thing:
when reading the main page of a forum and scrolling all the way to the bottom, there used to be a site map button at the bottom, on the left which would redirect to the top of the same page, reloaded.....that button is still at the top, but not the bottom of the page... it's a small inconvenience to scroll back up to the top to click that button. i know, i know, F5, or click the refresh page button on browser, but my cursor is already at the bottom of the screen and ready to click the non-existent button 
 or  eta2: nope....that button is there on some pages, but not the main General Discussion page...nor the main AR Basics page.... |

Will the site ever be as fast loading as the old one? Getting choppy and slow scrolling still. Avatars are still stacked above user info box creating alot of unnecessary space when in horizontal view.
