    is this for everyone? or just me because you guys were mad about what I posted before? even though it wasn't insulting in the slightest.

    Regardless, Til' this "situation" is sorted I'm with the majority on this one surprisingly, I'm out.

    Guess you guys hired all the new forum help for no reason...? Since most of the users are definitely going to leave w/ having to type a image verification for every post.

    Is anybody else lagging terribly on this site too?

    Seriously RL, get it together and have your own website. The way you guys did before, it's day 1 and most people HATE it.

    Hey SwagDeflector,

    Nobody is mad at you and revoking privileges. This isn't a change to how things worked on the previous forum. By "attachments" the forum is saying that you can't post things like zip files. You'll still be able to post links to, and embed, images, videos, and all the awesome things you were able to do over at the RedLynx forum.

    Forum performance will take a bit to stabilize as users are still linking their accounts.

    The image verification, as I understand, will go away after you have more posts under these accounts.

    This is the home for the RedLynx forums, and we are going to be updating them for ease of use over the next few weeks. The first day has been tough for us, but it's been even more of a shock for the Trials community. When we started today the forums were a jumbled mess of confusing categories. Now, though, we have a much easier to understand structure that we will be adjusting based on usability.

    We know it hasn't been easy, but we hope you will all have patience as we strive to get the forums into shape.

    Awesome Shifty, thanks for the insight and encouragement to stick around here. Maybe I will, but I gotta say the whole image verification thing is annoying. But I can understand it, because bots can't type that.

    It is a little hard to get used to right now but I'm sure it'll bounce back. Hopefully everyone sticks around!

    pffft... only 5000. In the course of a couple of much earlier forum software changes (Lithium > UBB > Eve > vBulletin) I've lost about 15k posts. However, time heals all wounds and I got over it

    I'm used to the forums now. It took a while to sort all of it out. I'm getting messages on XBL however from people saying they are leaving the forums. I REALLY hope this doesn't effect the community here. It was going strong IMO.

    I'm sure once the teething issues have been sorted, threads are in place and you guys have learned the 'ins and outs' of the new forum software - which we have been fortunate to have had a lot longer to get used too, you will find the forums just as handy as before.

    Also I'm sure many new users will be joining over the coming weeks and months.

    This site is home to some VERY large communities - all of which had to go through this adjustment, after we updated from the older software.


    It takes time, but people adjust
