It gave me an opportunity to use the upload a file feature so I could include a pictureI think that needs to be put in the banner at the top: "Follow the blue dot!"
I hate to complain because I am so overjoyed that the cave is gone when I log in and I have my in-state rivals, but I think it was better on the old site that the cave was not visible to anyone not logged in. If I had come to the forums and looked around and saw all of that crazy chiz and very little Iowa State stuff on the forums, I probably would have never come back. Although thinking about it, y'all probably think that would have been a good thing. (Insert old wacko emoji)
I did check something to opt out of the cave on the new forum of the that was somewhere in my profile, maybe preferences? Not sure if that was necessary or if our choices from the old forum carried over.
I use Google Chrome. So out of curiosity I switched over to Internet Explorer for a minute. The "hover preview" works great with Explorer. The no preview seems to be a Chrome issue.

Mine works in Chrome. It takes a second to come up but it works.
agree its not ideal to see political threads if you're not logged in.
thanks for all the hard work getting the new site running - now that the political stuff is gone I'm all good.

Seeing as how I'm rarely logged in:
On the RECENT POSTS page (when not logged in) using a desktop iMac (Safari + Chrome), these are my beef-a-roni beefs:
EDIT: After I hit post, page became a white blank. Had to reload to see anything. (Safari 9.1.2, Mac OS X 10.9.5.)
On the RECENT POSTS page (when not logged in) using a desktop iMac (Safari + Chrome), these are my beef-a-roni beefs:
- Page is overrun by political & in-state rival posts. Change to default hidden?
- Blue dot not visible/available AND no pages visible, even when hovering over the post title.
- Posts have the start date, but no visible date of the most recent post.
- I don't know who started the thread as it only shows the most recent poster's avatar. I think it should be reversed. OP should have avatar visible always, then most recent poster can be inline like on the old CF.

Just a comment but it seems like there are so many "things" on each page now. Every post seem very cluttered.
I haven't spent a LOT of time looking, but I can't figure out how to send private messages. Also, I was a member of a basketball group, and I don't see it around any more. CyclonePride, please PM me. Thank you.
WONDERFUL!Guess what, sugar - a lot of the bugs were fixed before you logged back on...
Just sent you a message- not sure if groups will be restored, or if they will need to be reformed.
Ok, so that only works for threads where there is a "new" post that's bolded, which means it's only visible when a user is logged in. I see now you can also click on the time of the latest post to get there, which is more along the lines of what I was expecting to be able to do, but again that only works when you are logged in.
When I was first browsing the new site I wasn't logged in, and that's why I didn't see those options. I don't post often enough to always log in on every computer/device. Did it work this way before too? Strangely, I checked on another forum I frequent that was updated in the last year, and I just noticed that works the same way now (but I'm always signed in there).
They're called "conversations" now. You can find them on your profile page, or your target's profile page (start a conversation).
