Click on members on the side bar, then go into your profile from there. That still links to the old board where all that stuff sits... you may want to bookmark that for future use.

Very nice update, Mouse, thanks for all the hard work. The user control panel is great, overall the whole thing looks much more polished and user-friendly.
Btw., does vbulletin or the underlying mail server offer any precautions against mail-(re)bounces caused by a lot of thread notification mails sent to a postbox that has an autoresponder set? If the neo-geo.com mailer answers the bounce again it could lead to a huge load of looped mails with exceeded hop counts that may clog up your MTA or even fill up your entire disk space. Just a thought.

Everything looks ok, except the post count thing is messed up, I had almost 1100 posts and now 500 something, I 've only posted maybe 5 or 6 times in the war room. Why the hell did I loose almost 500 posts??? It's like your post count was only counted once for each thread you posted to, so if you posted 30 times to one particular thread, it only counts as +1 to your post count. Any way of fixing this and bringing everyones post count to what it should be minus the war room?

Some other quick tidbits....
'Editted By' is not added to a post til 5 minutes has passed, so you can dit your post without that message appearing just to fix simple mistakes. At least, that is how it is setup, I have not tried it myself.
If enabled, you most likely want ot disable this setting in the User CP. Mine was disabled when I started testing, so it is odd it is enabled on so many. And, no, I have not seen a way to glabally disable it (yet).
USER CP --> Edit Options -->
Use 'Email Notification' by default?
Using this option emails you whenever someone replies to a thread that you have participated in.
Set to no.
As for post counts, I'm starting to think UBB must have counted PM's as posts whenever the the site needed re-indexing.
In the move, besides losing PM's and Everything Else, we only lost 5 threads from the War Room, and 1 thread in International.
Much better than the usual UBB upgrade (Except for the PMs and forum, but we have an archive of them so...) where we would lose, on average, 60 or 70 threads, mostly in the war room, or because the thread became too big for UBB to handle.
Need sleep......

so you actually made the change
I remember this being talked about before
Ehh...Im gonna have to get used to it, but if you think its for the better.
edit:
I seem to have lost my avatar and 200 posts.
I never really cared about post counts, but Im just wondering whats the technical reason behind the post drops?

I clicked "no" to have the forums to stop emailing me every time someone replies to a thread I've posted in, but it still emails me everytime someone posts. How do I get it to stop doing this?
