I think too many threads are coming up with the first posts dating from five or six years ago! If people reading them don't check the dates carefully, they get a lot of outdated information to start with and possibly go off on a tangent.
Surely there is some way in your vBulletin software to fix this?
Regarding the PM feature: I see "folders" that supposedly have 50+ imported saved/sent messages from the past but I can't find them. How can I email somebody from my PMs? (Or is that feature not turned on, deactivated at present, or what?)
Is there an option somewhere, like there used to be, to not show my presence after logging in, if that's what I choose?
The repeated message about "the forum has changed", etc, is both annoying (to me) and takes up needless screen space (IMHO). You have all of our email addresses - couldn't you just inform all the registered members that way and be done with it?
I think this site has now become too non-user friendly. I miss the previous format (clear, concise and to the point). Misleading posters with ancient stuff in your face is rather poor management. I'm not saying you're doing this deliberately, or at least, I hope you're not.
KISS is always the way to go.
Keep It Simple Spicy...
