The_Lhc said:Oh, I don't suppose the new forum software makes it any easier to change my username to "The Lhc" does it? Just so it looks like an "L" and not an "I" (which it doesn't anyway but still doesn't stop some people...).

And as if by magic, there was the "L"......
Clare Newsome said:Quite simply the old site was almost unworkable - the CMS was, we're sure, possessed :O
We were extremely limited in what/how we could post, and the site took forever to refresh and upload new content.
Now we can post more content, more easily - for example larger (and multiple) pictures in news stories and blogs.
Each video now has its own URL, which makes it simple for us (and you) to link to when needed. The vidoes - and the site itself - can now become more mobile-device friendly, too.
It's also far easier for us to administer the Forum, and we can add sub-forums more easily, too (more on that to follow...)
And most importantly of all, the new platform will allow us to do so many of the tweaks and plans we've had on the back-burner for some time.
You may have already noticed we now have both Awards and Competitions tabs on the top Nav bar: tiny changes but ones that were near-impossible previously.
I'm not promising loads of developments straight away, but at least we now have the platform from which we can develop all sorts of exciting things... 8)

It might be that the new site is ignoring posts which were subsequently deleted by a moderator, as I seem to remember having a fair few deleted which didn't affect my total at the time. Just a thought.
There were two issues here - 1) I forgot to refresh everybody's post counts when I did the final forum import and 2) yes, the old forum counted deleted posts, the new one doesn't.
I've just refreshed everybody's post counts so they should all be correct going forward.

I'm not grumbling, I'm reporting an issue which might point to other issues.
As a softie, you should know that.

You're the only one then.
