Since the change of the forums, I've become unable to change my location in my profile. On top of that, there is no longer a link anywhere offering to edit your current profile, and you have to resort to typing: http://forums.mmorpg.com/profile/edit to access the editor. I hope that these two issues can be fixed.
One feature I wanted but was unable to find, is the ability to mark a single thread as Viewed. I looked at it once, long ago and it now shows 240 additional comments. I've no interest in that thread anymore, but the Thread Has New Content tried to bring my attention to it again and again.
The only Thread View applies to the entire forum. Some granularity would be appreciated.
Logic, my dear, merely enables one to be wrong with great authority.

Two issues related to Agree/Awesome/etc buttons on a post
The first deals with posts that I have made. I can see if someone has clicked something, and it appears there's a little icon that's supposed to indicate what they clicked, but I'm old with tired eyes and I can't differentiate between them. Before it would just pop up the button with a click count, and if I rolled over the button, it showed me who clicked it. Now I can't see the buttons at all (I do realize the buttons only appear on rollover now, they don't show up at all for posts I have made), and I just get a few of these icons.
Second, those icons. For posts from other people, when they don't have a signature or there is no Edit flag (like in the above picture) -- the icons overlap the text of the thread.
I just noticed the ignore list as been severely limited, only 5 ignores available... Could you restore a much higher value please? Like at least 50ish?
I'd say get rid of the ignore list. It is more social that way.

Foul, forced grouping is unfair.
They could a setting for each user that opts out of being on a ignore lists!

I don't get alerts and newsletters for quite some time now. The last one has been the Jan 31, 2017. I tried to unsub, close everything relogg and sub again. I don't get any more mails from mmorpg.com
I just got 3 years badge. I know you guys must be fixing it and could be a temporary thing, just to warn you guys that this acc does not have even that amount of time, so Idk, must be an error.
Same here. Aug 2015 to today is definitely not 3 years. Not even half.

Recently changed my name which seems to have reset all my badges, then redistributed only some of them. I joined December 2005 but only received up to the 5 year badge. Previously had Ancient. Or maybe the name change was incidental and I just didn't notice the badges disappeared? Since others have the same issue this may be the case.
I notice that when i respond or post in the forums now and someone comes along and agrees or clicks one of the buttons on the bottom, I cant tell what they did because all i see in my post at the bottom left corner is the "Quote button and the first couple of pictures are buried under it.

This has been there for a while now. It's a super easy fix to at least stop the overlapping, then you can fix the fundamental problem later if you want:

If you want a new idea, go read an old book.
In order to be insulted, I must first value your opinion.
Oh yes, and "1000" posts badges as well. (maybe that's for all of the LOLs @gdemami gave me on the old site?)
