That might be it, but there's no save option when you do it at the bottom of the forum page.

Mine just changes when selected from the bottom of the page. Using the preferences option requires to save changes.

Frankly, as much as I've liked the place I'm close to giving up on it. I don't know why this "renovation" was needed. I appreciate that all are volunteers here but it's definitely frustrating.

Because the old software was hopelessly outdated and falling to bits. The search feature was chronically broken, as was the option on one's profile to join the private fora, and many behind the scenes tools that mods use were broken. It wasn't workable. Unless you prefer a forum that has limited and broken functionality :confused:

To add to the above, it was also impossible to maintain the old software because it had become too outdated. This led to server and forum lag. It also meant there was no way to effectively combat spambot registrations, which caused RF to be flooded with spambot registrations and made the forum lose access to the automated email service it used for email verification. A forum of this nature needs new registrations to thrive, but for months, we barely had any and had to manually validate accounts when registrants contacted us via the "Contact Us" feature to verify them.

The forum is still undergoing updates, so while the frustration with the amount of change is understandable, please note that what you see now is far from permanent or finalized. Things should gradually resemble the older version more as more features are added or reinstated.

Poor web design. Ya think being able to find the most recent threads would of been a priority. It doesn't even exist now. Only whatevers commented on shows up in the list.
