In IE profiles are still messed up and the "Was This Post Helpful?" button covers up some text in the lounge. :)

Both the quick "Search this forum" and the advanced search gave the same error page.

Maybe I'm the only one, but I prefer the old "Thanks" to the new "Was This Post Helpful?" because with the new system it's so easy to click a + or - that it's just not as meaningful as if some one takes the time to thank you.

I always liked recieving a PM telling me I had been thanked and by who, along with the ability to leave a comment. It always provided a positive feedback for members who have been helpful. While I don't object to the new reputation system entirely, I'm not very fond of the ability to vote down a member's reputation b/c it provides certain members with vendettas a tool to act upon them and do some damage. In the past, they have been limited to the PMs or the forums, which are easy to handle in terms of moderating flaming. Now with the ability to vote down a member's reputation, pissed off DICs can simply use the feature on a member's profile page to find all their posts and vote them down.

I agree, and like I said earlier, i think that it should just be removed in Off-topic anything. I also noticed a -1 for you when you posted the rules to a person who didn't show code, (but I voted you back up). These sort of things should be considered.

i totally agree with CTphpnwb macosxnerd101 and Dogstopper.
The "old" system of feedbacks was much more meaningfull and nice.

We're going to encourage people to leave comments on your profiles when they receive good help and you have the option to approve those comments so if you receive comments you would rather not have on your profile you can reject them.

We're trying to walk a fine line of making it easy to mark helpful and unhelpful posts, and still rewarding people that help. Bear with us as we get some new things going with this new platform. It opens up a world of new possibilities for us, so think of it as two steps forward and one step back.

Not sure if it is my Browser (Namoroka) or these new servers but D.I.C is soaring for me right now. I am really liking the improvement on speeds.

Are you going to add the chrome option for favorite browsers eventually?

Also clicking the blog option in my profile brings a database error similiar to the one NickDMax posted.

What is the status on the 3d Forum? </smartass>

Just noticed you now have a mobile theme. Very nice, and it works much better then the old theme on mobile devices.

That was the case in the old system too. I think it makes the thread titles look nicer actually.

in the old version they were equal, topics automatically formated to the caps

now it can't be [quote=user it should be [quote name='user' look to the quotes, they are necessary
