    Working on a reliant big file upload for the repo. You can resume uploads and it should have no problems with unsteady wifi connections

    Well, the layout is looking better, lists are far better than cluttered boxes. There's still some things I haven't tried yet like downloading or uploading large files, So I can't comment on that aspect. The speed and functionality is better, no question. I'm sure there are still many aspects that you want to tweak and optimize and I will refrain as many others should from making any more critical comments until that work is completed.

    Thanks to Tdev for listening to the concerns of users ( even if they were more like complaining and less like constructive criticism ) and doing your best to rectify and change the new forum to be more of an appealing place to visit and use.

    Having said that, if it is at all possible to return the content thumbnails back to what the actual content is in the thread and not the user that started the thread or created the content, Visually that would be basically the only thing that needs to be rectified now.

    It looks better, works better on mobile devices and just takes time getting used to, sorry if my previous post was a little "left field". Thanks for taking the time to address concerns and doing what is needed to keep the Beam forum current and up to date.

    Guys, please, make the top menu static or make it two times thinner by removing search field and replacing it with user info.
    I personally dont like top menus 'cause I've got not a 30" QHD monitor, but 15.6 notebook, and all those toolbars are fogging the view.

    And, of course, I'm waiting for Blogs to come back.

    Preferences -> Style Options -> Uncheck "Enable Sticky Navigation". Why do so few people check their settings?

    Quick question: What were the security risks of the old forum? I am active on the World of Speed forum, which uses VBulletin and I'd want to bring those risks up, so the management knows about it.
    I am already getting used to the new forum; one nice thing about it is that it blends with Windows 10 almost perfectly.

    Honestly I'm really not liking the new style, its much more difficult to locate mods I liked before, reminds me of windows 8s metro interface, I think the old style was much easier to use

    Is there an option to avoid displaying avatars entirely? Could it be added?

    I just tried uploading a big update for my Generic City map but it seems the 800 MB limit for .zip files hasn't been reinstated yet. Any idea when this will be sorted out? My file is 620 MB and will likely get bigger in future updates as I add more models to the map. It just says the file is too big, but doesn't say what the limit actually is. :(

    Seems like noone else has adressed this problem before, but when I go on the "Community Screenshots", many times there are huge white blank spaces below the uploaded pictures as shown here:

    Yay!, the Wiki! But it still has all of the outdated information on it. When will the Wiki itself be updated?
