The changes are available here (the file is too big to post.) Note that this may not work, as Firebug apparently combined multiple stylesheets into one.

Hi Jim..

Great! Will take a look soon. I just discovered this site that can compare css files so seeing the changes shouldn't be hard:

I answered a few posts on my lunch at work and everything was fine.

A bit later I couldn't even access the forum from work because of this error:

Message: HTML Parsing Error: Unable to modify the parent container element before the child element is closed (KB927917)
I use IE8 at work, IE7 at home.

Maybe it's been addressed already.

I don't think it was my browser.

I'll know in the morning....

Nice work

I see the search does not work properly
When inside a topic, enter search word then it returns the same topic you in
Contributions successfully installed : Header tags SEO, Scrolling new products, Customer testimonials, Support tickets, Polls, Link exchange, SPPC, X-sell, Master products, Dhtml menu, Image cache, Slide show, Product videos, Product custom sort, Product notes, Discount coupons, Ask question(review style + admin), CP builder, Customers also purchased, price list, // SEO URLS 5, and forgot the others and then a real admin setup.

Hi Jim..

ForJim is live :-)

I only found 3 differences in the stylesheet you made. For more changes, forward the class name, attribute, and values and I'll add them to the template.

Kind regards,

This is the default behaviour of the forum software. I've filed a bug report to see if they can fix it.

Thank you! This is much easier to see. There were only a few changes, so that is probably all of them. It's all I can see, anyway, and that's what counts.

Hi Julian..

It doesn't seem to be an option any more with the new layout. There is an icon at the bottom of the page to take you straight to the top, where the Quick Navigation panel can be opened (just below the search field besides View New Content). The tab seems to be saved in a cookie so if you click on Forums it will always open with the forum channel structure.

Kind regards,

there must be some flaws in the upgrade: how can someone spams the forum with a large number of spams in the same minute like this one: SQT traini ... ??? never seen this before.

Hi Harald,

I have been looking for the link in my profile to change my 'About Me' page but there doesn't seem to be one. The page is still active and visible to profile viewers but how can I change it ?

Mine has an "Edit my Profile" button in the upper right. Maybe you have to change your theme to see that?

Hi Jim,

I also have an edit my profile button and then all of the sub tabs show on the left side, but I don't have a tab for the About page.

You're right. I remembered the About tab being there, but I just went to look and it's gone. I should have looked before posting.

I don't know where it used to be but in "Profile settings" (the General account settings" I noticed about half way down an item called "Profile Information" that had a button labeled: "Edit about me page". Looked like the link to be used to me.

You don't have that link?

Hi Jan,

I guess I was expecting it to be on the left tabs, but I found it now... Thanks for the help.

Amen.... As a long-time user, this blows.... big time! The loss of search within a topic is crucial when you have (as we often do here) dozens of pages in a support thread for a contribution. What's the point of having a support forum if your search capabilities in long topics doesn't work?

Very disappointed.....
