Welcome to the new BeerAdvocate Community!

I definitely like the new setup, maybe took a second to get used to but it's pretty awesome.. can't wait to see the finished product!

Very excited that messages go directly to your email now!

When you hit reply, in the quote text above it should say it. also you can mouse over the name and see the number in the bottom left corner of the browser, as someone else has pointed out

This is definitely a different and exciting change haha. I'm excited to see what the future holds. Keep rockin' BA! Cheers

Welcome to the technology everyone else had 10 years ago.

Hehe, my thought exactly.

nice to have a forum back up

Ahh, I saw it and have forgotten it already. And no, this font and color isn't doing it for me either. #160720, this color might work.

Are we going to be able to use Taptalk ?

It'll take a while to adapt, but it's good to have the forum up finally

Didn't see this in the thread and search didn't seem to bring it up.

Are the old buddy lists saved somewhere and will they be converted to people you are following at some point? Or are they lost to the sands of the intertubes forever?

yay new forum, need avatar...

Will take some getting used to, but I think I like it.
Looking forward to the full version with all the bells and whistles.

**edit** I guess we have to reinstal our avatar manually!?

Within 2 weeks everyone will be used to the new forum, just takes an adjustment period

This new site is full of members.

what layout. you mean the stray button which enables one to see random large fonted opinions? awesome. super exciting. mobil app and a reasonable search option would be nice.

this forum is one hundred feet tall,.

Looks great!

that would be nice!

anyone else having trouble logging in on their phone? (iphone specifically)

Well, I"m glad you got new servers, but I can't say I like this new layout/format, at all.

Problem for me seems that it opens a "popup" type login section and it's hard to find on the phone. Everything gets grayed out and you have to search for the fields. Once I found them, no problems on the database side, but just strange placement.

hmm...i saw the login section, but when i login it just brings me back to the new forum screen as if i just hit refresh.

I mean the layout that they're using now. You seem upset...

I think this is just the default layout. Lots of people will be upset because it's different. I hope there is some hybrid between this and what we had. Mostly, I would like to see the BA main site into in the side bar, and more integration. It will come, I just have to be patient..

Dipping my toes in the water

I too am very happy with the speed and response of the new servers, but not at all a fan of the new forum format or log in. BTW, what's with the sign in on the front page (not working) and then a forum log in? Shouldn't there be a memo on the main page that says "Go to forum section and log in." Took me several days to realize I could log in, but couldn't sign in. So confused, scratches head.

So, when all the data from the old forum is transferred over, does that mean I won't have only 2 posts, or are we starting over from scratch?

I am finding my feet here

I was thinking this same thing "Crap im going to lose all of my trades!" Thank god.

Thanks! Are we still keeping the ranking system?

interesting. just glad to see things up and running.

No problem with the Abecall. I've been testing this new site with my computer abdmy phone. The phone is slower, but other than that, no issue.

How is your cat taking the change?

She really likes it. The other day at the beer tasting I hosted, she was telling the guys how much she didn't like RateBeer and hoped that the forums here would be back up this week, so she is happy.

Also, my avatar is of Doug, my brothers cat, I'll upload my cat Luna in a bit as my avatar for a bit.

The main page is very clear and understandable now. You have to tip your cap to the Bros. They have always listened to us and will make proper adjustments as needed. I have no doubt these new changes, once all are in place, will be user friendly and enjoyed by the members. Cheers!

What What, I'm finally getting my BA fix...I was going through withdrawals...

Cheers!

I'm in.
Now I can stop doing work things at work again.

I was, but enabling cookies fixed all that.
