    I see, I don't think you can link to search functions like that then, as when I saved my bookmark to the 'View New Content' button on the old site, it did that too.

    May have already been posted, but when on Home page, arcade doesn't come up along the tabs. But when you are on the forum tab, it does. :boo:

    I have added a "Today's Posts" link to the navigation bar under the main red navbar. This should show if you're logged in or not.

    I've also added a "Today's Football Posts" to the same bar. The "Today's Football Posts" will only search football related forums.

    Is it because you don't have the right version of Adobe Acrobat installed? You might need to update it.

    You can download it free but I don't know which one you need, sorry. My Adobe gets updates all the time.

    Thought I'd add my view on the new layout..

    After finding the initial change a little disorientating, the tweaks here and there have made it easier to navigate and the look is very pleasing on the eye.

    Sadly, much of the user content has deteriorated long before the layout change to petty squabbles, dull in-jokes and a clique mentality among some. That's the reason I, and others I know, don't visit so much now rather than the new layout.

    I'll probably get dogs abuse from some for saying that but there you go. Hopefully I'll be proved wrong and it doesn't happen.

    Anyway, just thought I'd make the point to the people who've set the site up and run it damned well that the new layout isn't the reason why I'm not visiting the site as much now.

    Apologies for the hours downtime, but I was getting seriously fed up of the search function not working. It's sorted now.

    How does one use the multi quote function?

    I select the posts and then what?

    I've tried clicking on go advanced but the posts aren't quoted. ???

    Select the posts you want to with multiquote then click on reply with quote.

    The ads at the bottom of each thread has now been fixed. This has been one of the hardest things to do with the new software. It became a priority after ad revenue bombed since they were removed!

    Yep, perfectly fine. Tried in both Firefox and Chrome and all good.

    I noticed earlier on there was a 'Prediction League' tab at the top to the right of 'What's New?'

    Can I suggest whatever tabs are added that the WN tab is always the furthest right? I've found the introduction of that tab makes it much easier to browse the forums from my smartphone as it's one click to the list of posts. By putting it furthest right it limits the chances of mistakenly clicking on something else.

    I was playing about with that plugin and might do so a bit more today, so you'll see that button pop up again. The nice thing about the prediction league plugin is that we can put the button where we like as it's well written. Unfortunately not all products are so well written, so as much as we'll try to keep the "what's new" button last, I can't promise it.

    Does anybody else find that opening new tabs for the forum or even clicking on a link in the forum is very slow and sometimes won't load at all?

    I haven't read through this thread so forgive me if this has been mentioned but here goes:

    When I post, at the end of writing I was used to using a 'tab-enter' combination to post rather than mouse-click the post reply button. In the new software, the tab function to go to next thing in the tab order(or whatever you computer-people call it) doesn't work. If I am in the text box writing and I press tab - NOTHING happens. This is very annoying - may be a feature rather than a bug but if so it is an annoying feature ;)

    Just thought I'd let you know!
