    I wonder if the "Watched Threads" is what you are looking for.
    Here's a link: http://priuschat.com/watched/threads/all

    And if you hover over your name on the very top of the page, you can navigate to your "watched threads" in the drop-down menu.

    Yes, I thought with the new software that the avatar upload would be easier to use. The first time I tried loading I received a size too large error. I kept trying to crop more and more of the picture and never could get a small enough size to satisfy the size requirement.

    I'm not sure what to say about the avatars. I originally got the "too large" error as well. But the one I ended up with is much more than 19.1kb or whatever it says the limit is.

    I have not tried again since the first time right after the new system came on line. I will try again tonight and see if I get better results.

    Thanks

    I just tried to upload a picture and it took it right in this time. I like the way it gives you the opportunity to move the picture around in the window and crop it the way you want.

    I must have tried it before Danny was ready :)

    Thanks

    Not liking the new page layout so far, too much blank/white space on the page.

    Biggest complaint right now is the link to the Gen 2 Prius topics does not work. Searching and searching for a particular thread and danged if I can find it.

    the color is not to my taste but nice... biggest issue in my opinion is the "wasted" space with short comments... The left site avatar other info is quite large and always there. On this page a proportion is lot better ...

    It took me several days to figure out why my old signature is broken and that I just had to add it back as an image again WITHOUT the code ....

    Not exactly. I know about and do use the "watched threads" page but I also would like to see the subscribed threads indicated by some icon on any regular forum page as the old site did.

    By the way thanks for the hint on the upper right arrow. Now I really feel like a biplane pilot trying to fly an alien spacecraft. LOL

    On the main forums page there is a Search button in the light blue sub menu area, but when you go into a sub forum (V, C, GEN III, etc.) or any deeper in to a topic or thread, the search button is gone. Can we have it back on screen all the time?

    Just a seat-of-pants feedback, after 4~5 days with the new site format:

    It is not very intuitive, and a lot of very handy functions seem to be gone, or buried/renamed. I've given up trying to find out what's new, and just find my way manually to specific forums and have a look around.

    Why is that? Is the system telling you the images are too big or something?

    Because we made a conscious decision many years ago to not allow moving avatars.

    Sounds like the page was cached (if you used the "Back" button).
    I don't believe we've ever allowed users to delete their own posts - only edit. That's so that if someone gets in a bad mood one night and decides to delete all of their useful posts, they won't be able to.

    Have you tried clicking this link at the top and bottom of each thread in the breadcrumb navigation? [​IMG]

    I love the new Quick Navigation Menu.

    I'm really liking how fast everything loads now, the new PC is a great surprise.

    Odd thing, only when I view the PiP forum it's hard to find the "mark forum read" button, whereas in other forums that button is in the blue band up top. I guess the PiP forum opens under its own "tab" in the blue ribbon, instead of opening under the forum tab.

    Would it be possible to make the PiP forum interface consistent with the others? Thanks!

    I don't seem able to stay logged in if I open a new tab. Have to log in for each new tab I open. And the login page doesn't appear to be https (or it's stealth https).

    it has definitely been fast so far and i like the longer pages. i wish there were more color differentiating different areas of the page and i miss the emoto's.
