  • Hi Azu, your old account should have transferred over to the new site fine, you shouldn't need to register again.  I will be adding a password change facility shortly, something we have overlooked.

  • Make sure you are on scirra.com not scirra.com (I will fix this soon to force a redirect)<div>

    </div><div>Try to login to your old account, does it work?  Still having issues?  Post here and I will sort it out for you tonight, I can reset your password and it should all be fine.</div>

  • Lucid is right, go to Gravatar.com and change it from there, I'll make it a lot clearer how to do this soon.

  • Hi guys, thanks for all the comments, the altnerate coloured bars is definitely an improvement I'll add onto the to do list.  Tonight as well I will take a look at why people can't login.

  • Tokinsom, yes, I'll add it to the to do list!

  • alastair, sorry to hear this, if it doesn't work by tommorow (it might be some strange DNS caching thing going on still for some users) I will investigate a further.

  • to me this place is no longer the old construct forum...very sad.

    <div>

    </div><div>Most of what has happened on the forum is aesthetic!  It's still the same people posting in here, give it time and I'm sure it will grow on you!</div>

  • PM's were not transferred over to the new site.  To recover your old PM's, you can login to your account here:<div>

    </div><div>Let me know how you get on with this. </div>

  • <div>I made the site, but don't worry, when you make websites you quickly learn that you won't be able to please everyone :)  One thing to note is you say it wasn't broken, but from our point of view in some areas it was broken, for example, high bounce rates, we're not capturing many visitors if they do come across our site, it's hard to find on the web, so we thought we would try something new.</div><div>

    </div><div>We don't want the reputation system to be a requisite for contributing anything, and we really don't think it's going to create a clique atmosphere!  Temporarily we have restricted new tutorial submissions via the system because we want to make sure we don't get abused heavily, but the general aim is to reduce this to allow everyone to submit tutorials eventually.</div><div>

    </div><div>I understand that it can create a hierachy, which as you say is negative for the community, please know we will take every care to minimise this effect and make sure everyone feels welcome and happy <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" alt="Smile" title="Smile" /></div><div>

    </div><div>We were expecting a few problems at first, but give it a week or so I should have most of them ironed out.  We wont be adding any more features until everything is working perfectly and runs reliably.</div>

  • In regards to the front page, although you may prefer the old one, we experienced a high bounce rate (visitors who come, then leave without clicking on anything else).  It was around 40% or so, so if somethings not working, we will try something new!

  • Hi Kisai, sorry you don't like it!  I'm happy to hear any suggestions you have.<div>

    </div><div>The problem with the old site was, there really wasn't much for anyone to do if you are a regular visitor, except visit the forums.  We've tried to make the rest of the site interesting for everyone as well, the tutorials section should be great, nicely formatted tutorials as supposed to being restricted to the forum tutorial category, the reputation is modelled loosely around StackOverflow, it has a lot of benefits we hope you will recognise further down the line.</div><div>

    </div><div>I'm not quite sure what you mean about the preview button, this is different forum software, so the mechanics will work slightly differently, I'm sure most people will get used to it soon enough though.</div><div>

    </div><div>If you have any suggestions, please post it in the Website forum!</div>
