To be honest it's the content not the packaging that we come on for, so if it works and is more stable I am not bothered what it looks like!

I would like to build up a list of the main differences, so any help would be appreciated. If additions/corrections could be added below I would be most grateful. Thanks, Ron.
So far I have:
Members of the original not 606 site (hereafter referred to as the old forums) will notice some differences. Here is a brief summary of the most notable ones:
Private messaging. This feature is replaced by Conversations. To the right of your avatar (top right of the display) is an envelope. Click on that and you will see a list of conversations in which you are currently engaged. You have the option to start a new conversation, list all conversations, or just list conversations you started or those that you have starred. When you select a conversation, the whole conversation is presented in much more readable form than on the old forums; more like posts. There is no option to delete conversations; you "Leave" them, with an option to receive further replies. For this reason there is no need for an archive facility. At present, there is no facility to create folders in which to file conversations.
PMs that were deleted on the old forums were not physically deleted and have been converted to the new site and appear in your list of live conversations. You could remove these &[HASHTAG]#8220[/HASHTAG];deleted&[HASHTAG]#8221[/HASHTAG]; PMs from your list by selecting all and marking as &[HASHTAG]#8220[/HASHTAG];Left&[HASHTAG]#8221[/HASHTAG];. However, selecting all only selects a page at a time so it could take a while if you have a lot of PMs. Alternatively they could be left in the hope that, at some stage, this will be achieved automatically for you (at present there is no plan to do this)
Alerts. To the right of the Envelope is a Flag. This alerts you to anything you are interested in; a useful facility. Click on the flag and all the new alerts will be shown. You just click on the alert to view the details. You can also set your Alert preferences here
Your News Feed. Notifications of actions by People you Follow. People you Follow will have been created from your Mates on the old forums
Things that are missing
1. As mentioned above. No facility to organise messages (conversations) into folders
2. No facility to create albums and store photos
3. No Rep Value. Rep points on the old forums converted into Likes

This image problem is doing my head in. I couldn't see them but could if I quoted the post. Now that doesn't even work. Can't see the apl results, hindered in the match threads. Exclude from conversations with images. This place is fast becoming more trouble than it's worth. Should have changed over when it was actually ready.
for something thats provided for free can we not exercise a little bit more tolerance and gratitude ,Mick has explained there will be problems that will need ironing out as the site develops its new format,patience is a virtue.
Who's we? I've got no problem with Mick and Grateful for his efforts. But if people don't report the problems to be relayed back Mick can't fix it can he? I'm sure he's proud of his site and wants all problems ironed out. At the same time the problems are making the forum experience poor for some which is the opposite reason for them being here in the first place. People are entitled to feel frustrated.
I know what you're trying to say, I just don't know who too. You neglected to say like you were addressing the masses or something.
according to you its more trouble than what its worth and should not have been activated until it was ready ,so obviously the we comment includes yourself ,in most other aspects the site is running fine imo
I think it alright, me like.
Few things i havn't managed yet, but will get there.
I used to have 30 replies on each page rather than 20, ain't sussed this out yet.
click on ya little picture top of page
go to preferences. at the bottom of page click the profanty on box...hey presto.
Getting used to this new format now.
As for the glitches, we are Sunderland, patience is our virtue!

Well at least have the decency to address me directly instead the self righteous approach. It's ignorant and it makes you look a right dick, What's more you'll get no respect from me with that attitude.
Well you've got the wrong end of stick then haven't you. Clearly. I've no problem with Mick and appreciate his efforts, like I said.
If I wanted to get on his case i'd @ him (like this @sunderlandstu )which would alert him to my post. My frustration is my opinion and nothing else which i'm entitled too so you consider yourself corrected ok?
whatever as usual ,we,us,you,me ,its free ,as for being corrected, again whatever just embrace it .
