Fun!
First thing I needed to do was set from a fixed layout to responsive/"liquid"/full width. The toggle is at the bottom:

I just love this whole thing in it's entirety. The at symbol would be useful to quickly notify someone for a WW game right @Don't panic?

In the open test environment (May) the preference was persistent, as expected.
Not per page …
… set the preference at any one page, then reload the others.
Interesting change. Any equivalent to the control panel where our subscribed forums are listed? That's my old bookmark and now I can't find a similar feature.
EDIT: I think I found it; going to have to follow my forums again it seems. So far it seems to be much friendlier to my iPad. Going to have to give the site a try on my iPhone now.

XenForo – uppercase X and F. Just so that people can be accustomed from the outset.
(Whilst the logo might imply a lowercase x, "XenForo Ltd. is registered in England and Wales with company number 07294282".)
That may be the case. I had 3 pages of unread posts. I set the option on the first page. When I went to the second, it was not set, so I set it again. Repeated the same scenario for page 3. It appears to be sticking now. It also "sticks" when replying, so it could have been PEBCAK.
Thanks.
Ugh, why are email notification preferences in a different section than alert preferences? This would never have happened if Steve Jobs were still alive.
If you want to stop getting emails every time a reply is made to a thread you posted in (a really annoying default setting btw), go to Preferences in your profile rather than Alert Settings. There's an option to stop automatically watching threads and/or to stop getting email notifications in watched threads.

Some of the questions in this topic might be better under MacRumors Forums Theme Change and New Platform.

Looking for info on managing attachments in forum threads. The distinction between linking to a url image and uploading an image to the site. When you select the "image" icon, is this linking or uploading?
Is there a way to do an advanced search in a single forum? Don't see that.
Thanks!

Push the little 'upload file' buttonLooking for info on managing attachments in forum threads. Thanks!
Push the little 'upload file' button
Except that it looks like "upload file" is designed to upload a file from your computer. The following is an example of an image uploaded from my computer.
In the old system you could link to an online image using brackets, or you could upload a image to MacRumors as an attachment. The latter is what I'm looking for info on.
Thanks! :)
If your known good password was accepted before, but not immediately after, improvements to the site

- Be prepared to receive an automated e-mail, at the address that you associated with MacRumors Forums
- to generate that e-mail, use the on-site password reset routine.

You don't even need to do that; just drag'n'drop into the reply box.

Luckily, I thought to change my password to something simpler before the migration, and this time didn't have any problem logging in.
Just did!Don't forget to change it back to a more complex one now you are back in
1. There's an unsubscribe to all watch emails link in the email.
2. You can't specify that degree of email customiztion, unfortunately.
