    It does look better, but I feel so disoriented. How do I find all of the threads I started?

    I saw something posted (perhaps further back in this thread) about some posts still being migrated in. Perhaps they will eventually appear.

    You also could try doing a search on yourself. No idea if it will yield any results...

    Although all of the historical content is here, there are still background processes which are reindexing them to make them compatible with our new platform. As a result, you'll find that certain parts of the site, such as search results and post counts, will be producing unusual results until that completes. It was estimated to take a few days, and we're now coming up to day 2 with it. :slight_smile: There's over 3 million pieces of content for it slowly process behind the scenes so it takes a bit of time. :slight_smile:
    Unfortunately, at present this is the only version of the skin we have launched with. However, it is on the to-do list to explore what other colour schemes etc we can make available, so that members can choose a more 'suitable' layout if they wish. :slight_smile:

    Let me recommend one. It's called "Blackend" (correct spelling) and it's a free XenForo "style" (the XenForo term for theme).
    It's gorgeous. When I was admin on another XenForo based forum I installed it and it was wildly popular. I have a copy of the .zip if you want it. It's black and charcoal toned with gold highlights. Other colored highlights can be had if you install all of it.

    The way you're supposed to do it is in the postings tab, at the bottom of the page just below where it has just your postings listen out, there's an option that should say "Find all threads by: Username" however, it doesn't seem to be working for me when I click it and all it says is that there's no results found.
    edit: nevermind, i just saw the post of somebody mentioning they thought somebody addressed that posts are still being migrated.

    No such setting that I can see if your are using a computer. However, I have discovered that with the new update, you can arrange posts in ascending or descending order when viewing the site on mobile phones. There's a little box at the bottom of the thread that you can hit and it will rearrange it.

    XenForo is a way better forum than VBulletin. Good job!

    Our Xenforo installation is so heavily customized -- literally 50+ add-ons, many of which were custom developed for this community, that simply installing standard Xenforo styles/skins isn't a viable alternative.

    We chose UI/X because it is a very high end framework specifically designed to be flexible enough to support (with some modifications) all of the customizations we throw at it.

    UI/X actually supports all sorts of display flexibility, including multi column formats and unlimited color options, that we will eventually be rolling out different looks and color schemes. But that's further down our list of priorities for now.

    If you're on an iOS device, you can go:

    Settings
    General
    Accessibility
    Accessibility shortcut
    Invert Colors

    This might be easier on your eyes.

    Well this is certainly going to take some time getting used to. I usually read and post on EC on my phone, but this new version really doesn't seem to be suitable for using on you phone. It is way, wayyy too slow and complex. Guess I'll have to switch to my laptop, which is fine.

    One question, though: I used to be able to leave the site, then come back a few hours later (or even days later), and I'd still be online. Now, whenever I leave to go do something else and I come back, I have to log in again. Seems like you automatically log out after a certain period of inactivity. Any way to change this?
