What the heck happened to my signature? The formatting is all wrong, the links are missing or wrong... Can we please just have the vBulletin forums back already?
The new forum change altered the visibility of PMs. Specifically, if a poster sent out a group PM on the old boards, I could not see who else was included in the message, and they could not see my response. On the new boards, the PM becomes a public thread with everyone's responses. This was particularly problematic, as I had PMed my real name on address to a friend online, and with the new forum update that information because visible to five other people who received the original message.
What is the point of the folder being there saying that I could add additional content folders then? Its not really an issue or anything but its misleading that I could create additional organizational folders for content of some sort. Probably not an issue but it just seemed really odd that it was there and I couldn't do anything with it.

I have officially moved to MTGNexus. I just wanted to let people know as my response time to salvation decks being bumped is very hit or miss.
What's up with editing posts and having tagged card names disappear?
EDIT: Huh, guess Curse doesn't like Chrome extensions, specifically Scry and AutoCardAnywhere. Causes card names to disappear when going into edit mode.

New trading post interface is terrible. Having sales and trades in the same forum make it hard to see who's selling cards and who's trading cards. There also doesn't seem to be a way to subscribe to any threads in this section. Having to expand haves and wants sections to scroll the entire list is quite annoying and time consuming.
In my subscriptions section, trying to click on the last page of a thread with several pages doesn't work, it just flickers the page number and forces it to a new line.
There's also latency issues.
What is this Curse crap?
Terrible upgrade overall, who's idea was this and did they actually do user testing?

Less is more.
The Market Street business section was a Sales tab and a Trade tab in testing but was determined to be more streamlined by having them all together with a easy to access filter - go the Trading Post, drag down the menu, hit filter. Personally I agree with you and felt the two tabs were non-invasive enough to be okay and a lot more inline with the way we've done things. You are the first person to mention subscribing to Trading Post threads so I don't know, but we can look at it. The smaller boxes were designed to take up less space I assume, but so far the lists have been much larger than those little windows feel natural with. I'd like to see if we can have control over how large or small our boxes are and other users don't have to mess with them. I see people who's lists look silly because they have huge boxes with 1-2 lines of text in each, and then huge lists where the window feels like reading through a paper towel tube.
The beta was live for months and users were asked to test. We had announcements across the top of the old site that couldn't be dismissed for weeks before the change. We had prizes and contests for people who left feedback. The Trading Post was accessible for months for people to test out. Since you are a user, where were you? You were more than welcome to take part in the testing.
All this said, Curse has been very good at listening to what the users want and there should be changes to the Trading Post section as other issues are resolved.
Would it be possible to have the {code} BB markup changed to use single spacing instead of double spacing? Some of us in the Colosseum (especially in the P&PI) love using {code} markup for making text tables, and it looks really ugly double spaced.

A mere ten days after the Mending, a young knight of Valeron and a young ranger of Eos made a discovery that would change Alara forever.
Every post starting with a "0" is kinda funny, but I don't get it, and other than things in quotes, it's really hard to see where one post ends and another begins. I mean I'm not stupid and can look for the picture of a new user, but it's not really easy to skim through as there's no definition.
If I am on the main Forums index, on each subforum (Let's use "Modern" as an example here), I can see the immediate child subforums. So, I can see the Proven, Established, Deck Creation, Community, and Archive sections, and from the main page of MTGS Forums, I can immediately get to any section.
But, if I'm in a forum category, if you will (That is, if I'm in MTGS Forums > "The Game" [The section featuring Standard, Modern, Legacy, ...]), I can only see the first child subforum for each forum. Going back to the Modern example, I can only get to the Proven (Modern) subforum, and I cannot scroll directly to Established (Modern), Modern Deck Creation, and so forth.

(Except professionally done, and maybe with some shading and stuff) would be much better. (It's not entirely obvious which post the edit/report/etc belongs to, a straight line goes right through the middle of the edit/report/reply/etc
My two biggest "complaints" since the switch to Curse:
1) No "Last Unread Post" option, only "Last Post." Come the next Rumor season, if you check a thread at 12:05, you're going to skip over about 100 comments if you go back twenty minutes later.
2) No "Advanced Edit" option. For me, especially, the ability to edit my post (and preview it) is extremely useful when doing Crits/Judgments in the CCL and MCC. I'm running the March MCC, so I'm honoring that commitment, but I don't know if I'll continue to do so if I have to deal with editing posts in the current 'crowded' conditions.
2a) No option to view a single post in a new tab/window. This is a sub issue of the above, since "Advanced Edit" would present your post by itself.

First unread post is still an option (and it's still the little arrow after the thread title). However, it only seems to show up if you've already visited the thread. It also seems to be malfunctioning on the new content page (it never seems to show up on pages after page 1). This seems like as good a place as any to request these both be changed (i.e. aside from the bugfix, I'd personally find it hugely useful if it showed up on all threads, and linked to the first post after your last forum visit, like the old one).

For the threads that it actually shows up on, the option also doesn't always go away once you've visited the the thread. I actually just visited this thread twice in a row because it still told me there were new posts.

Regarding subscribing to trading thread posts, the main reason I used it was because clicking on my trade/sales thread via my subscriptions list was easier than trying to search for my lists in their respective forums and then edit them that way, especially if I wasn't able to bump them for several days.
Also, how do I turn on notifications for when someone posts on my new sales/trade threads in trading post?
I will admit that I didn't beta test at all so I suppose you have a valid point there, but in reality I am much to busy with work and other things to do a thorough test of some new forum software.
Finding your own thread has been annoying and I hope to find a more elegant way of doing that. Finding others' threads that post to your thread is also a pain right now, so that might be something to look at as well.
It doesn't look like it is possible right now. I could be totally wrong, but I thought that was a feature in the Beta and I remember liking that notification because aside from PMs and Reported posts I don't really follow things with a notification system.
And from the looks like things, nobody had the time... so we have to work with that now.

When is the last time you upgraded your browser? As that layout looks a lot like the one I have on my work computer which is running IE 8. Getting a newer Browser will fix pretty much all of your issues.
And for your question that number is the number of times some one has thanked a post.

I really hate that the list of acceptable characters for names has changed.
That means I can't use my real user name anymore (even if I get a rename credit and get the rename to work).
