Where have the avatars gone? Was there a deliberate decision to get rid of avatars in conjunction with what is apparently a board redesign?

For what it's worth, I vote for reinstatement of avatars.

Edit: I have added "and Other Problems with the Forum Software Update" to the thread title in order to reflect the variety of matters which have been raised in this thread.

Edit: The avatars have returned. I will take mmx's word that tapatalk access has been fixed. Thanks dudes and dudettes (as the case may be).
As reported below by euph, the link viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1440 for "Please click here to view the forum rules" under Forum rules still results in "The requested topic does not exist."

Uploading my avatar doesn't seem to work. I tried a couple of times re-uploading my old avatar, which is an 80 by 55 1.61 KB JPG file, hence meets the requirements of max 80 by 80 6.0 KB. After submission of the uploading of the avatar, it says "Your profile has been updated." But the result is that I still have no avatar. So it seems something is not quite right about the forum software as currently set up.

Another strange thing about this new update is that I now permanently have a "Forum Rules" banner at the top of the page. The link leads nowhere :noidea:

Oh well. Otherwise the forum looks cleaner in some areas. :thumbup:

Liking the new forum layout but cannot access tapatalk anymore! Keep getting error messages about password being incorrect (it isn't!) removed the app from my iPhone and reinstalled but now can only access the home page not any of the sub forums!

Thanks for working on a fix. I kept thinking I was doing something wrong on tapatalk

@krysiekmz, I made that into a regular topic about two weeks ago. ;) if you use search, you'll find it.

I don't see the private message - link (text - the icon is still available) on top anymore (but maybe that's because I am at the office).

It's all downhill from here, except for the uphills.

Hi
Access to the for sale forum viewforum.php?f=5 is not working. I'm getting "you are not authorized to access this forum".
