    Forum still inaccessible without using Pagewash.com or similar website.

    Every time I reply to a PM I get logged out.

    Every time I reply to a thread I get logged out.

    Leaving feedback link doesnt work.

    Any solution?

    Click the logout link to clear cookies, then log back in with the remember me option. If that does not work, go in and manually clear cookies, and log back in.

    it's working fine for me, but it always has
    does it work on another computer, at another house?

    Clean your cookies. I would suggest downloading Ccleaner to do this and give your computer a thorough cleansing in general. Also ctrl + f5 might work to the same effect. Also try a different browser and see if it makes a difference.

    I do that constantly and it doesn't make any difference.

    I did find a solution to the feedback link and that was to click the link under posts as the other one didn't work along with the rest of the links e.g about link.

    Never used to have any problems with previous Vbulletin version. Everything worked then.

    Why fix what isn't broken?

    It clearly isn't broken if most of the users here haven't had any problems. Of all the people who use DP multiple times a day don't you think if there was this huge issue effecting everyone (and it would effect more than a handful if VB has issues) that there'd be this huge outcry over it?

    Just sayin'.

    I am frustrated too on this forum. They start off by calling you a PEON which is an insult in many languages. Then everything is assumed and not explained. Spent an hour searching FAQs and STICKYs, not able to find how to give reputation. In the sticky on this subject it says
    How can I give someone rep?

    QUOTE "- If you see a post you like or hate and think the poster deserves some rep click the little scales and then choose if you like or hate the post." UNQUOTE. but where o where are those "little scales"? Don't bother to tell me, everyone knows. But some long time members bless them forget to exlain theese things to newbies when writing thier STICKIES. I want to post in the buy sell thread but it seems I need to know what [BTW], [BTS] means that is prefixed to many threads. Tried the advanced search in the FAQ it just gives me all the threads that start with this. Could someone enlighten me please?
    My suggestion would be to have a prominent Glossary for newbies or a FAQ search that functions like a dictionary of forum terms.
    to an ever improving forum
    Peer
    P.S. another great improvement would be a spell checker for posting replies.

    The little scales have been replaced by a star found at bottom left of each post.

    When you see something that is obsolete due to changes, use the bad post report to alert us.

    Use Firefox. It has a built-in spell checker.

    What I meant was since the old VBulletin worked so well why change it? Ever since the upgrade I've had nothing but problems.

    Cant access the forum unless I use an iphider
    Getting logged out after every post
    No sent PMs appear in Sent Items so I never know if I sent a PM or not
    Some links don't work when I click on them.

    Before upgrade I had none of the problems above.

    I agree with you. There should be explanations as not everyone knows what these things mean.

    Did you try using a different browser?
    Did you try any other forum running VB?

    Lol...this really made me laugh after a hard day :)

    That doesn't work either unfortunately. I'm getting logged out constantly even with the "remember me".

    I would check your cookies then. If you are getting logged out with the "Remember me" option, either you didn't actually click the Log Out button on that browser in the last year (needed to flush old legacy cookies), or you have something on your computer that is wiping your cookies.
