On mobile there's no 'top' button as mentioned, unless I'm oblivious which is very likely
Announcement Welcome to the RPF's Forum Upgrade Support Thread

Seller feedback is something we are still working on implementing (and hopefully porting over from the old system.
We are working with the thirdparty developer who created the old junkyard to help us update the new.
We will look into what can be done to liven up the top. Someone earlier pointed out that you wouldn't know what the site is and that IS a concern and something that needs to be addressed.
The responsiveness of the new design was a major factor in the move. When I started here, everyone was on a desktop and the biggest difference was Mac vs PC. Now, there are so many platforms upon which the site has to work smoothly that it is impossible for us to stay on a fixed-width stage and still be viable.
Going to look at that copyright issue today.
On the list!
Is there anything that can be done to fix old links to specific comments? I have a bunch of currently broken links
At the moment they don't seem to work unless the comment is on page 1, and even then you need to manually add a dash in the url to make it work.
Here is one link I have as an example:
It redirects to:Code:http://www.therpf.com/showthread.php?t=253252&p=3869972&viewfull=1#post3869972
That link doesn't go to the specific comment, but it does if I add a dash before the post number:Code:https://www.therpf.com/forums/threads/esb-tfa-lightsaber.253252/#post3869972
Code:https://www.therpf.com/forums/threads/esb-tfa-lightsaber.253252/#post-3869972
The problem is links have the page number in them before the post number, but old links don't get that added to them. A lot of my links go to the 139 page long TFA Graflex Research thread, so it's a bit hard to go find it all again
That is a tough one! Let me look into it and see what the redirects will allow. We do have a lot of redirection going on, but that might get a bit sticky.
There are the same amount of ads as before, but because the previous iteration of the site was just scaled down on phones, everything was small, including the ads. Now, the ads are inline and regular size which makes them seem more prominent.
We are still having a bit of an issue with this. Try it now.
Point taken. Top is one of the elements that disappears as the site scales. Let me look into that.
Yes, noted this too. I usually browse the forum on my desktop but checked last night on the iPad as well just to see how things look there and it's completely unreadable because of all the ad popups. Everything else looks really nice and there are a LOT of nice new additions but if I have to seriously complain about one things it's be all those ad popups! Never saw actual popups on the iPad before but now there's always one that fills the top part of the screen (aside from all of them appearing larger now).

Ahh that’s why I couldn’t find it, on phones it’s shoved into this “...” icon.
Great job Art Andrews and the team!
Sorry to add to the list, but I seem to be missing my Premium Membership and my post count has dropped a bit.
Also, did this migrate in any way fix the Photobucket dilemma, or as that just a lost cause now?
Cheers,

Is there any way to change "Conversations"? When I do a run, I used send payment info in a PM to 10 members at once. If someone had a question, it would only come back to me. Now that question goes to all 10 people I originally sent the PM to. I just don't want to clog other peoples mailbox with specific questions meant just for me. I'm sure the answer will be "don't send to 10 people at once".

However, that lacks the ease and the prominent reminder that the site is much bigger than the one specific area you're in. The simple menu bar at the top was a constant reminder that there is much more to the RPF and give you an easy way to navigate quickly... no hunting for drop downs, no weird symbols. The site should be easy for first time users and the old faithful alike and that menu bar was an invitation to explore the RPF.
On another note: The site appears to be very slow (or even non-functional) on Firefox, PC. I tried to write this reply in it, but is just wouldn't work. The "loading" animation bars of the site just kept going. When I finally managed to open the "embed media" window, it refused to close even though I saw it pasting the embed code in the message. (This was written on Chrome, PC.)
Congrats to Art and the RPF team for a successful transition! I look forward to exploring the forum's new features.

Some initial feedback:
- I would echo the ad comment. I'm on iOS and it's difficult to read with various ads everywhere...
- Are we not able to edit profile information at this time? Or am I just being dense and completely overlooking something...? Update - As I suspected, user error...

Hmmmm, went to one of my project runs to update the photos. Noticed the original images (BBCode links from Imgur) have become Attachments and have piled up at the end of the OP. I added the new images in the editor (again BBCode links from Imgur) and deleted the previous [IMAGE] codes. When I clicked save, the new links became attachments. I assume this is an upgrade that will prevent the whole Photobucket dilemma from reoccurring? Linked images become hosted on the RPF site? Which is cool of course, except ALL attachments (current and previously deleted pics) have piled up at the end of the OP...
