Where has the your topics button gone at the top of the screen?

I'm also a wee bit annoyed by this. It's a side effect of the latest server tweaks. The powers that be have informed me that it is being looked into.

In the mean time, click "my profile" and then "Let's see 'em" (...in the "board posts" row of the table)

Interesting. I'm running Chrome 19.0.1084.41 beta-m. Adrian, what are you using for a browser? 92CelicaHalfTrac, which browser is working for you?

[edit: It is also missing if I use Mozilla]

IE8 at work, Safari at home, I'll look tonight to see if it's there on Safari.

Yes, the IT dept. is doing some work on the back end, so sorry for any issues. They definitely didn't intend to annoy anyone. We'll keep everyone posted.

It was never "Your Topics" was it?

It's always been "Your posts."

Your Topics would be great as well.

Still here on the latest IE at work.

Must be an echo in here... one, solitary echo in a very, very big, empty space.

To this DAY, I still don't understand GRM's forum choice.

It's been explained. Speaking as someone who's administered it, vBulletin is no picnic in some ways, either.

Actually, I don't know whether thats true. At best, I think IT guys just see that as a lucky side benefit.

And that's the reality: No matter what message board program selected, there's no way to make everyone happy.

Cool, glad it's coming back. They were fixing some code, hence the earlier issue. Good thing they didn't have to take us offline for the repairs, huh?

I've never saw ANYONE complain about using ( as a user) a vbulletin website. I'd say 90% of forums that I've ever visited are vbulletin. The things GRM does with it's forums don't seem any more special than any other website, so again, how everyone can use vbulletin and it be so bad...

From the admin side, maybe it isn't that good. But I've never been on a forum that hasn't had a working search/pm system for two years straight.

However painful or not vBulletin may be to admin, transitioning would probably be a sucktastic process unless the data tables were set up similarly. We could be forced to start over from scratch like the last forum transition. (I lost an entire whopping 20 posts!)

BTW, why do you use the search function on ANY forum? google's site search usually works way better than any internal forum search functions

Personally, I'd rather stay with what we've got. It works, for me at least, and I've never been fond of the software most other boards use. I know I've heard rumors of it being kludgy on the back end, but the IT guys seem to do a pretty good job of keeping it from flying apart.
