I like how you folks got rid of the extra comma space between names listed in the who is viewing this thread thing below. But the extra comma space still exists when you look at, say, a poll in a thread and the votes are visible.

You admin folks got heaps on your plate, so I'm not expecting this to be solved any time soon. Just wanted to give a heads up.

Thanks
EVERY TIME I COME BACK to the site, I have to go into my options, and "save" them again (see the pic) so that things show up in EST (well AST so it's proper). There is something wrong in RFD servers, that is preventing date/time settings from being retained.

Weird, I've never had to do that. I set my time zone back when I first joined the site, and to the best of my recollection I've never had to change it since, and I've never had any issues with the time.

I hate having Today's Posts showing up as the first link under Quicklinks. If a new link is to be added, it really should be added at the bottom, as now the order of the links have been rearranged. Doing this makes me (and I am sure others) constantly pick the wrong links. I know that it is an annoyance and I'll eventually get used to it, but I think an easy solve would be just to have anything new at the bottom.

So, the time issue I'm having somehow relates to the WYSIWYG editor issues I'm having.
I'll go to Personal Options and set my timezone. Save.
Go to Forum Options and set my editor to WYSIWYG and the Advanced Upload thing, save, and the time is out of wack.

So Summary:
for me personally:
If I set the time, I'm stuck with BBCode editor (and unable to Tab+Enter to submit messages, unless I first set the WYSIWYG editor before making a post...)
If I set the WYSIWYG mode on, my time is set to GMT.

I'm up sh*t creek without a paddle it seems, as by now everyone has gone home for the weekend.

Dunno if this is due to the forum update, or if it's due to a totally unrelated cause, but has anyone noticed that neither the "Posts with Most Thanks" box nor the "Newest Threads" box are updating anymore?

The leading post in the "Posts with Most Thanks" box is currently "Insane prices from 10 cities across Canada to Istanbul, Turkey - from $693 all in" and underneath it says "Posted 2 days ago by cmyden", except that when you go to the actual post, the timestamp shows that it was posted on Jun 13th, 2012 at 01:20 AM, which is over four days ago, not two.

Similarly, the leading post in the "Newest Threads" box is currently "Matthew Good free Concert at Toronto Yonge/Dundas Square (NXNE)" and underneath it says "Posted Just now by water_boy", except that when you go to the actual post, the timestamp shows that it was posted on Jun 15th, 2012 at 09:41 AM.

That's also the case with the "Popular Threads" box.

The daily forum updates emails are coming at ~8pm EDT instead of midnight. This has been going on for several days now.

I'm sure it's a low priority but it's still indicative that something's wrong, which is why I'm reporting it.

Not sure what is the cause, but adding tags to a newly created thread (by me) in OT gives the following error:

"MrDisco, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:"

Because the board is set to UTC, which is 4 hours ahead of our time zone. When they did the update, they set the board to GMT (and made it seem as if it had ALWAYS been that way LOL) so now, you're emails are being sent at 12am. Just 12am UTC, instead of 12am EDT.

Bizarre. So they set it to UTC but without adjusting for DST?
