I'm having problems with adding friends. When I click "save" it asks me if I want to debug. I say no and it keeps popping up.

I like the format but I have to keep logging in. I tried to edit my previous post and it made me log in again and I hadn't left the page! I also got the message that I was not authorized to add friends and I'm logged in!! What's up?

Edit - OK it works now. Thanks!!

My .02 -- Like others I'd appreciate the locations returning --handy for impromtu meetings & GTGs.

Will type of NB owned reappear as in pre-update?? Inquiring minds want to know. Kudos for your dedication.

Fixed

The forum feels a LOT faster... It might just be in my head but it definitely is a nice change.

Good work guys!

It's being a bit weird just now.
When I go to the homepage, it recognises me, but going from there I become logged out and have to log back in.
The locations were SO handy to have at a glance. I think they're pretty essential, in many discussions or even cries for help it's crucial to know what area the person's coming from.

I am always curious in which state (or country for that matter ) the orgers live.

Is that feature gone now?

It would be nice if we could click back to the homepage. Once you get into the forums, you're on lockdown, and can't get back into the homepage. I guess it's no biggie, since we pretty much hang in the forums; I just liked that feature.

Fixed

First I want to say thank you for all of the hard work you do to keep things not only up and running, but new and improved - then I want to complain (LOL). I just miss the vdub description of what everyone drives, it was nice to know who my fellow vert drivers are and to see the great variety of vws we have here. Also it was nice to know where in their state they were located, but I see how this way is safer .
O.K., not that it matters, but that was my two cents (1/2 cent?) worth.

Like most already have mentioned: on the hard work!
It really is looking good.

What I am wondering, can you make a thread, explaining what the new features are and how to use them?

It may sound a little silly, but with some features I don't know what to do
I might not be the only one...

Keep up the good work!

Oh, and is it me? I think the little buttons next to "search" etc look like Homer Simpsons underwear

Can someone do something to fix the missing pixels as the top of the logo (in the forums)? There's like a row of 8 pixels missing on either side, and it really sticks out against the blue background...

edit: Ok, I fixed the graphics:



There was two columns on about 8 pixels on each side that was set to 100% transparent and 50% transparent. I painted over it with white to fix it.

Fixed

I don't even see the option to attach images to a post anymore. Am I missing something?

This is because the link on the home page is to newbeetle.org/forums, while the cookie is likely set for www.newbeetle.org so it doesn't match up.
