I like the "recent posts" idea however I think that "recent threads" would be more useful. sortable by catagory maybe?

I sorta meant that, Recent 'activity'

well so you guys know, the My Skins page I've been working on as a replacement for the old one is pretty much completed.  I'm working out some bugs now and it should be ready to go tomorrow hopefully.  Also the storing of number of skins in your view will be released at the same time.  The way it will work is when you manually change the number of skins per page in any gallery it should hold on that number until you manually change it again.  Right now it's just holding skins per page, however, it could potentially save some other options as well if people really want that.  

and gmc2, the only flash content I cant think of on the skin details pages is in the ads we pull in from our adserver, however, I'm guessing you are a subscriber and don't see ads.  Thus there is no reason having flash off should have killed anything on that page...   It's possible the skin sharing plug-in uses flash, but again I'm 90% sure it doesn't.

So this replacement you speak of will have the stuff we actually use back in it? That would be nice.

The last two days page loading,mainly in the forums but occasionally the home page as well has slowed to a crawl. I have a very fast cable connection and the site used to fly.(Old and new) Nothing changed on my end that I can think of. Win7 64bit/IE8 

I'm just saying......

Thank you Kestrel for the update. It will be great to have our skins page back.

The galleries aren't updating. I just changed view 9 to 60 and then they show up.

And any idea when Journeymen will get their uploading privileges back and not have things go to moderation?

Do you know how to do it with Windows 7 in IE8?  OR anyone

Can anyone tell me what the deal is with the galleries? I still have 6 broken images in there plus 3 that I just uploaded as well are broken...not even sure if the uploads took or not since they are still in limbo.

And the forums seem to be broken again as well.

I read your previous post and it's not being ignored, however, there are a lot of things being asked for from a lot of people and I'm trying to focus on the fixes/features the majority of people are requesting.  When in the middle of implementing changes nothing will get done if constantly changing gears every time someone posts something new.

For Robo Form: we cannot guarantee compatibility with 3rd party plugins...  We don't try to break them, however, if something happens there is nothing we can do about it, you are probably better off contacting the makers of the plugin honestly.

For the Offline issue: are you seeing this on the forums?  If so I will inform Bara about it.

Which galleries?  The ones on the new site in the explore menu?  We are currently having some caching issues with those, which could mean you are seeing old data (and thus things may look broken).  If you are talking about your personal page, the preview images on there will be broken for the time being. 

I think the new site has actually scared some people away, a lot of posts from the same folks are no longer around, is it me or am i just that observant and too much free time, just my observations, i just notice a different "feel" here as of late, anyone else notice this as well???

totally agree, The main site and the forums are a really bad mess right now, stuff not showing in galleries, having to refresh over and over to see ones posts, posts vanishing, Egads and on and on it goes..

Maybe I'm overstepping but seems like until all this is cleared up perhaps the old site might get put back up it's horribly frustrating atm, can't imagine what new users are thinking.

Also I was able to monitor Master skin sales using the old site link, now even that is gone.

And I still have a widget in adni18's gallery....

since I luv ya...a new headache...if I respond to a comment on one of my skins I get sent back to page 1 of the comments...would be nice to stay on the same page...so you could see if your answer posted correctly or if it needed editing.

I'm not having any of these issues in the forum

However, with the main site having such critical features missing, it does seem like the launch was pretty premature.  The least that could have been done was to make the missing pages available on the old site.

Unfortunately your observations seem right on. I've also not been here as much as I usually was...nothing works. Some stuff I uploaded still has broken images and other uploaded stuff is still in limbo somewhere. As much as I love the site...this was quite possibly the worst launch of a website I've ever seen. The smartest thing would be to go back to the old setup and then fix this one till it's really ready to launch. Otherwise I'll be catching up on a lot of sleep. Even as I write this I have no idea if it will even post...since took 5 tries last night to respond to someone...some others I just gave up on.
