    Have to say I still don't see how anyone who was at the old forum can even pretend that this is better, I swear Shifty and Barry you must be brainwashed, you both have been on the old Forums for years, how can you say or act like this is better?

    Also Shifty, What gives with the lack of warning that the Forum was about to be flipped outside down? Pretty ****ty thing to do.

    I'm giving this new forum a month to see if it improves but tbh, I doubt it will, I see no reason to believe it will either.

    It's still early days fellas. Let's wait and see how it all pans out before passing final judgement. The only real criticism I have is that we could have been given some notice/heads up about this as it's very rare that such transitions are smooth so at least we could have been prepared. Either way it's done now and life goes on. Best thing we can do is provide as much constructive feedback as possible and hope this place gives us everything the old forum had (and more) in as little time as possible.

    Sorry but change doesn't necessarily mean good.

    I said I wouldn't use these forums either, but I figured I would try to get used to them.

    - I really hope the image verification notices do go away. They are annoying, especially when some letters/digits are legitimately hard to see (I failed twice in a row).

    - The amount of clutter on these forum pages will one day drive me insane. I also find it annoying when the background (side panels) doesn't move at all when scrolling up or down. I guess that's just preference though.

    Your accounts should be merged, your old post count is showing. To change to XBox tag, in your forum account setting page down the left hand menu there's an "Edit Screen Names" option. Provided your UPlay and XBox accounts are linked, when choosing this option you should be given a choice between the two (ditto PSN account).
    For other questions, Barrybarfly is running a forum FAQ at http://forums.ubi.com/showthread.php...AQ-and-Q-amp-A
