Hi BAFelton,
as you might've realized, we've updated the forum software to a new version.
This was mainly due to security reasons (old versions get hacked too easy), but it also adds some neat new features and makes it more comfortable to use (once you got the hang of it).
There are good and bad news about the notification system:
eMail notification now works flawlessly - it didn't before.
However, it did start to send out ALL notifications it had queued since the beginning of the boards!
Depending on how many PMs you got or forums you subscribed, you have gotten few or A LOT of eMails.
I managed to stop it by manually emptying the queue, but as the server is fast, it already sent out a bunch of eMails.
I'm very sorry about that. I've stopped it when there were still about 50.000 mails left to send...
Anyways, some users have experienced layout issues with the current boards.
I tried them on Chromium, FireFox, Opera, Opera Mobile and BabyPanda and didn't have any issues.
If you are encountering any issues, be sure to clear your cache. That should fix it.
If you find any other quirks with the boards, let me know.
The full functionality should still be there, sometimes it's just at a different place.
Again, I'm sorry for the mass eMailing and hope you enjoy the new boards.
(Once you get used to them, they are really nice

)
