      A few things I've noticed:

      - The email sender for the notifications is misspelled with an extra "c" (admin@copytecchnet.com)
      - On the footer of the page, between "Contact Us" and "Terms of Service" also a misspell
      - When I open images posted by users, the image is too small - can't even zoom it, because of the low res.
      - Noticed the extra language choices for the forum - odd for an "english speaking only" forum, unless there's an idea of creating different languages subforums. If so, I can help moderate the PT sub.

      Cheers!

          Signatures are still present in everybody's account, it just seems that display of the signatures is turned off by default. If you want to see everyone's signature, you need to enable them in USER SETTINGS -> ACCOUNT -> CONVERSATION DETAIL OPTIONS.

          It looks like a lot of people are going to need to modify their signatures, as what some people currently have looks like a total mess on the new system.

            I haven't seen a signature in....ages. I'm glad the migration kept the ability to leave sigs off. They are unnecessary and add unwanted clutter to the threads. ??

              Thank you so much for all the work you put in. Looks great.

              I am sure that there are many things to tweak and straighten out. I am certain others that are better qualified will point these issues out.

              The only thing I am having trouble finding is where to donate.

              Once again, well done.

                there has been mention of a possible VIP forum for contributors so maybe thats all in the works?
                plus you already are a contributor as your avatar name is displayed in gold.
                We know a thing or two because we've seen a thing or two.
                The medication helps though...

                  Yes, it's in the works. While the many donations we've received over the years were appreciated, now we'll be able to thank those users with some extra privileges. We need some time to get it configured but standby for an announcement.

                    Guess it takes some time getting used to this layout - some fonts looks "off" (like topic title during viewing a topic) and the forum looks to wide on a widescreen monitor - usually the width should be limited for a better reading experience, like here: https://forum.vbulletin.com/forum

                      This font on the default looks awful in my opinion of little value ?
                      When i switch to the Red/Black it is alot easier to read but still not great. Arial or Calbri are the old Microsoft default fonts. Now they have switched to this aptos that looks like shit.

                      Are there more themes that can be downloaded to the forum? I like the blue but hate the font.

                        I also switched to red/black- don't like that bold-ish appearance of the new font, looks kind of muddy.

                          Is it font or the size? I have typed thus using Times New Roman and set to 14 as the size. One thing I have noticed is that the bar where those selections are does not always show when using the quick reply.

                            It would appear that everyone received the "Default" profile settings in their profile. If you want your advertising message to appear, open your profile. select the Account tab, scroll down to
                            Conversation Detail Options and check the box. You may also have to edit your Post Signature.

                                Try reducing the screen brightness. Being too bright can cause eye strain or at least does for me.
