I thought it would make sense to have a separate thread for members to post any bugs they're seeing with the new forum to help the Admins/Mods with troubleshooting.
I'll start with what I've seen:
1) I keep getting multiple email notifications for the same reply. This doesn't happen everytime but frequently. Sometimes 3 to as many as 5 notifications for the same post.
2) I was trying to upload some pics and the first few times when I go to hit Attach This File after I've tagged it from my drive, I get a prompt that says not files were attached. Then it'll just work suddenly.
3) Once I was able to attach my files after trying about a dozen times to post just 3 pics, I hit Add Reply and twice, it went to the main forum page where you see the subforums and my post never registered. I had to go back and start over, uploading pics again and going through the same issue in #2. My post finally made it on the third attempt.

I think we need to hold off on posting these types of bugs since some of them might be related to the ongoing rebuild of the databases and the fact that the server is being taxed much more than usual. I've experienced a few issues as well but there's no sense in worrying about them if the root of the issue is simply a busy server that hopefully won't be busy much longer...
Once things settle down, I think it'll be great to post these kinds of issues. If you want, I suggest keeeping a list of issues but not posting them until we're sure they're really issues.

Well, not sure why posting issues now vs later is a bad thing. I just figured members can list them here and if you guys happen to be doing some troubleshooting work now then you can look for these things. What's wrong with letting you guys know early? Personally, not like I expect you guys to get them resolved ASAP, just making everyone aware. Plus better to have a centralized place on one thread instead of people posting in multiple locations.

Rudy didn't said it's a bad idea, he said it's too early, because some of those problems will probably be solved once the update is done.
If everything that is a problem now will be posted, we will have a huge list to go through.
