    I have re-set password, but very, very annoying that there are password restrictions but it doesn't tell you them!  I entered a password, the system decided it was "weak" so wouldn't let me continue.  If you are going to do this, at least tell people when they reset!

    I am glad, I know you must be having a hard time with this move and the resulting fall out.  Can we please get the ability to "thank" posts back in Discussion Time.  Please.  Thank you.

    In 'edit profile' I see the option to <<Display Skimlinks? >>
    As I've never heard of skimlinks can anyone advise?
    They are links that if clicked on MSE gets paid.
    Hmm - interesting - I unticked and pressed 'save' but then when I went back an hour later, the tick had reappeared! :#

    I was getting loads of notification emails, so I switched off notifications on the preferences page and they stopped yesterday morning. Now I've just got 6 of them again ( still showing as switched off). Anyone else getting this?
    I think they must be working on the notifications, because strange things are certainly happening.  On one board (not very busy) to which I have been subscribed for years, I just got an old-style notification e-mail listing four posts for today;  but if I clicked through I went to the new version (of course) and posts starting from 6th February!  Seeing that old-style e-mail, though, reminded me how very much more useful and easy on the eye they were than the new-style ones, which I hope that the team will start to address when they have sorted out all the more urgent stuff.
    (Now, I edited this post a couple of times, and after the first edit the cyan bar across the top disappeared.  Others have reported the disappearance of the editing cog (why can't that cog also include Delete in its options?) but I hadn't realised that the entire bar would disappear. I guess it's a CSS problem with the colours.)

    Oh, just think I've figured out what happened
    The old forum usernames were case sensitive. So there was a poppy10 (me) who joined in 2006, and a Poppy10 (someone else) who joined in 2013. In the transfer to the new forum software, that person got to keep the poppy10 profile and I've been booted to poppy10_2.
    So annoying. I want my username back.

    From what I can tell, user names that start with a capital letter have outranked those that start with lowercase...

    Which is ridiculous. Should be the first person to use the username that gets to keep it. In my case my doppelganger joined 7 years after me, plus hasn't posted in the last five years so is inactive. Why is it me who loses my username?
    Seems petty but it's really annoying that this has happened
    @poppy10_2 Glitches like this will be fixed, but are not a priority at the moment.

    @amber03 If you click on Notifications at the top right of the page (bell icon), you can turn off The email notifications you don't want.
