    Well, it took a little bit longer than I had hoped, but it's (pretty much) all done! Please use this thread to post your bug reports, likes, dislikes, etc.

    I'll post the known issues and possible resolutions in the 2nd post.

    Things I already know about:
    1. Password won't work with new software. You'll need to reset your password:
      1. http://priuschat.com/forums/login.php?do=lostpw
    2. PMs - for some people every PM they've ever sent/received will be showing up. And for some your Sent PMs will be in your Inbox, and vice-versa. To help you guys clean it up, I've added a PM Search. You can easily search for PMs by Username, subject, etc, and move them into folders or delete as needed:
      1. http://priuschat.com/forums/private.php?pmsearch=1
    3. Weird text showing up in Quoted posts. I'm working on a fix for that, so for right now just ignore it
    4. Signatures a little wonky - go into your UserCP/Edit Signature to correct it:
      1. http://priuschat.com/forums/profile.php?do=editsignature
    5. "Log In" names imported instead of their "Display Names". The way to fix it is:

      Log-in using your log-in name and password, then once you're in go to your UserCP. At the bottom you'll see a link called "Username Request" - click there, submit your name change request, and myself or a moderator will review your request.

    It seems that the new software did not remember my password. It may just be mine, but you may want to chek this. I had to request a new one to log on.

    I've heard that from a couple of people already. I was able to get in with my test account's password, but Tony wasn't. Not sure if it was because of the contents of it, or what.

    For anyone having this issue - here is the link to have a new password sent to you:

    Password troubles

    I had the same trouble with the password. Had to reset mine as well.

    Migrating a database a huge as PriusChat is no simple task. No doubt there will be glitches.

    Over the weekend, Danny, Evan, Tideland Prius, Galaxee and I tested a few things and identified a few tweaks. Unless Danny was able to fix them all, there might remain a few little things that will require individual attention.
    - Some signatures were messed up
    - Some threads were showing the format tags
    - Some PM mailboxes got bloated when all the "sent" PMs were placed in the "Inbox" pushing the mailbox over maximum capacity.

    In the end, we had to make a decision. Would it be easier to have individuals take care of their own signatures and mailboxes or should we keep PriusChat offline while Danny attempts to fix all of them?

    In order to get PriusChat back online, we decided to move ahead with a few remaining issues. If your signature and/or mailbox is a little off kilter, let us know and we can help you fix them.

    While nearly all of the above glitches also occurred to my case (including having my birthday set to 30 November!?) I can say that it was a simple matter to recover nearly everything. So no worries & thanks Danny

    Nice improvements and big speed increase, thanks! No problems with login or browsing, though it wouldn't take my reply without a title.

    Nice upgrade, bugs are always present when doing a system upgrade like this.
    Suggestion: from a usability perspective, keep all the buttons and info flush left, it's a bit hard on the user to adjust to the left/right scanning.

    An ever so major "Thanks!" to Danny for all the hard work and to the mods for helping him. The few glitches that Tony listed are more than manageable.

    An ever so minor issue: I've lost the capitalization in my user name -- the "J" and the "K." To most that probably wouldn't matter, but I'm anal. :p

    (Hey, and the new smilies work too!)

    The View New Posts feature does not appear to be working. I have made two posts and none show up using this feature. Great improvement overall.

    This is another bug, The first two posts were "Post Quck Reply" and each came back as an error. The 3rd was just "Post Reply" and it worked only to find that the first two had worked also???

    I had no password problem. I do miss the "View New Prius Posts" and "Mark all posts as read", any chance of getting them back?

    More dislikes:

    When I post an URL there is no second window allowing me to give the URL a name or title. I'm too lazy to look up how to write the HTML to make the URLs do this. So the URLs kinda suck.

    Don't like the editing. I go back and spell/grammar check. Now I have to give a reason for editing? I may spell like grade schooler but don't care to be treated as one.

    I guess I'll go in and look at my preferences and see if there's anything I can do to reset anything.

    Oh, and another thing. Who knew the User CP was our control panel? Kinda cryptic.

    All of the ignored users on my list are gone. I now have to set it up again. This is really annoying.
