Have to agree with GD. I don't think the site is bad since the change and like the fact you can like comments now. As for the iPhone or iPad issues, I have not seen them as of yet. I do think they should have left the option to change the skin back to the other way if you like, like a lot of other v. Bulletin sites. Just have to get use to it.

When you misspell a word in a post you're about to make, it gets underlined in RED.
I'm still not quite sure what's missing from what was on the old version of the site as far as spellcheck goes. And I don't knwo what the ABC button is? Nothing should ask you to download anything, so that sounds like it's maybe a feature of your browser and not OSO?
Any details/screenshots you can post would help.

BUT, if you have to log in every time, that's a browser issue; try clearing your cache/cookies. You should not have to log in every time you come to the site unless you log out, so your browser is probably set to auto-log you out. Be sure to click "remember me" when you log in.

Can you give me a step-by-step for how these two things are happening if they still are (i.e. click here, then click there, etc.) and I will get tech working on this?

It seems to be working OK for me. Can you tell me if this is still happening, and provide screenshots? Telling us your browser type and version would also help -- thank you for reporting this!

Thanks for fixing "me"....
I do appreciate the new auto save function.
also on iPad......no "my topics" and no " my replies"
I don't want to subscribe to threads just to stay tuned. Plus, if everyone has to "subscribe" to staybtuned, it's really gonna bog the servers.
I don't have ad pops or other similar, but logging in was and is a requirement on my ipud and my home pc. Was not an issue before.....so it's not on this end.
Last....the all white really is a deterrent.
I am am sympathetic to your plight. Clearly, you drew the short straw and are now the sheeting post.....sorry for that. Not a great project to be the point person on. Thanks for your replies, fixes and constant feedback.
With that said, I suggest a recommendation to sr mgmt (assuming you are middle and have budget approval restrictions) a series of "update videos" accessible by members interested in learning the new site. I am....but not by trial and error. If you look at my recent activity, and many others, you will notice a huge slump in activity for specific ip's. This is not an example of a user friendly "upgrade".....so concessions should not be excluded..I.e.....creating a transition forum or site learning forum....with the option for skin change.
Thanks...
