It looks good. On your "to do" list, can you enable the feature so that people can read the newest post in a thread first?

Looks good, but is there a "go to last read" (or something like this) button?

In the list of updated threads, I click on the time the thread was last updated on the right hand side of the page which gets me to the last post.

It's not ideal but it does look like there's a plugin we can add to restore that functionality.

How do I get back to the database or main www radioreference page once I'm in the new forum page?
I woke up just after midnight and somehow I'd found a down arrow I could open and one of the choices was the Database page but I'll be darned if I can find that now!

Not a big deal. Good work on keeping everything intact with the switch!

I do like the up front-visible list of active members, it is appreciated. Now the question. I fully admit, I am not always the brightest bulb in the room. But, I am having difficulty transitioning from the Forums page, to the database page. I do that all day long. I cannot locate a tab to revert back to the database search location. The only method I have found is to go to the actual website on the favorites bar and refresh the whole thing. I know I am missing something, somewhere...
Geez, my apologies, I totally missed the Xenforo thread. I will ask this to be moved..man

xenforo. i saw the word and kept moving. thought it was a misplaced thread about eastern religion. i guess cell phones could be considered a new religion. i know people look at me like i admitted to being a practicing cannibal when they find out i don't have a smart phone. they usually back away slowly when they discover further that i am neither destitute or a Luddite, having realized that i deliberately chose the Dark Side. So religion. yeah. i am still pretty much asleep. can ya tell?

Was just coming here to ask about that link, in the radioreference.com logo, at top left of forums actually reflect radioreference.com instead of forums.radioreference.com.

I found I had to reformat my avatar to fit the space provided by reducing the height without affecting the width. Other than that, I can't seem to see how to search a specific thread as before.

There is multiple places to change your privacy settings. I found 3 separate locations that I had to uncheck to set if my location and what forum I was in is visible. Unknown if doing only one would have changed the others when I exited or not.
EDIT: I found I had missed the save at the bottom

It would be nice if the huge avatars could be shut off in the person preferences. Besides being distracting, they seem to drive the height of each post when you view New Posts.

Last, the Sub Forum line is a small and dim font in the New Posts pages. I tend to use that to determine if I want to even look at a post. I think it imparts more useful information than the huge avatar that dominates each line.

I like the new layout. I would like to see navigation to all parts of the website from the forums, as the vBulletin setup had. I expect this can be done in the backend of the software. It's a clean looking forum and it looks like the conversion went well overall. Nothing is perfect out of the gate but overall thumbs up from here.

If the forum tab is highlighted on top of page, search forums is 5 choices visible.

Search is mostly positioned under where it says "Members" ,

New posts Find threads Watched Search forums Mark forums read

Using the mobile site. Looks great, and like anything new, it will take some getting use to this new forum software.

Lindsay, nice update, looking forward to it supporting tapatalk.

Possible to change background color from White to something a bit darker? It's very bright at night. Otherwise I like the new format!
