- You can't link your account to multiple emails. An issue I brought up many times. I don't want to associate this site with my work email, just in case something happens to my job. And I don't want to be checking my home email while at work.
- No calendar with links to the daily newsletters. See above, I don't have this site sending me the newsletters. This is helpful when I've been out of the office for a few days, makes it easier to get caught up.
- No preview when replying to a post.
- The view of the 'topics started', appears to be missing the ones I started that I got no response to. Not a huge deal at this time for the old ones since I've since found other answers. I really liked seeing the persons 'picture' instead of just a name.
- The view of the 'topics started', I have one topic that says the last post was 2 weeks and 4 days ago. When I go into it the last post was in October 2018.
- The view of the 'topics started', what I would like to see is this view look more like it did in the old site.
- The 'replies created view, I don't see the benefit of showing me the actual last post I did. Adds a lot of visual clutter to me.
- The 'replies created view, I would like to see this changed to more look like how the 'topics started' view used to look like.
- Under 'Forums' 'Latest Topics' the list does not appear to be order by most recent post, this was a nice feature of the old view like this. And again showing the picture/icon of the person made this more visually appealing, IMHO.
- Reviewing old posts, the SQL code that was embedded stood out and was better formatted.
- And not that it really meant a lot, but I liked seeing how many visits I had to this site. Even though I think the number was completely wrong. I think at one time I noticed it was going up 3 for every visit.
That seems like enough for now. It just seems odd how we will put up with certain software/sites to become less visually appealing but we wouldn't do this with other things. Say they wanted to take (whatever is the latest on line video gaming craze is) and say "well we have some people out there still on flip phones, we need to make our game work on their devices" then they turn that game into something like you would have seen from Atari in the early 80's. Or have car makers go back to an old 80's or 70's boxy or ugly model of the car. I think you get the point. Traffic seems down to me, hell it's been over 4 days since someone posted on 'Today's random word', not sure I've ever seen it go that long.
Good luck finding a thread like "Today's random word". Was going to go there and post something but the search can't seem to find it.
12. Can't easily tell the original post from the post someone did with the 'quote' post option. see Sean's Quote of my post as an example.

Actually the person who just got the certificate never touch SQL Server 2005.
Or maybe :woot:?
I believe that they're using more standard emojis than previous versions. Maybe this? ??
EDIT: Apparently not so standard as these ones won't work :'(

They seem to be the only ones that work regardless of the date format. 🙁

Put them the bugs in the Website Issues forum, then the team can improve the site. We're all adults here, and although the migration hasn't gone well we can all help out by letting the SSC team know of the problems that still exist.
The quoting issues have been raised though: Quoted items in old posts are not fully encapsulated by the quote & Quoting posts with Line breaks.

This is the first I heard of the 'website issues' forum. I'll see if I can copy and paste it there.

It's been there for as long as I can remember. 🙂 It's been linked in a couple of the recent articles on the change too; such as Steve's Rebuilding SQLServerCentral article. I'm sure the team'll appreciate any constructive feedback, and try to iron out any bugs.

We've used it for previous forum changes. Though honestly I forgot where it was for this round.
