Weston - there is a "My Account" at the very top right of the page next to "Logout". Is that what you are after?

I agree. When I first saw it, I refreshed twice because I thought something was broken, lol. And man did I feel lost when everything on the right(where I spend 90% of my first few minutes) was gone. OTOH, the search is awesome, the speed is VERY welcomed and very much appreciated. So I'll be fair and give it a few days, then I'll start complaining.
LOL JUST KIDDING!!!
Thanks GarageGames, thanks, and thanks again.

That was my #1 complaint with the old site. Well, that, and the apparent inability to mark a single forum as being 'read'. Oh, that last one might still be there. Alright, I'll shut up now.
Seriously, though, love the new GG website!

Yes, very nice indeed! Much clearer, lighter and less cluttered. An improvement in every way I'd say!

It gets a bit tiresome having to scroll though 100 previously read messages in a thread just to get the new one at the bottom.
It's going to take a bit of getting used to to find the .plans as well. Having them listed in the left side bar was useful. Now I need to remember they're on the Community page.

What would also be nice is a 'jump to first unread post' button for threads. The little red light at the side of a thread could be coded up to do that.It gets a bit tiresome having to scroll though 100 previously read messages in a thread just to get the new one at the bottom.

At least that way you could pop onto the forums, look for any threads with a red light, read a few of those, and know that the rest you didn't read will still be red for later. The thread you just read however would be grey unless a new post was made in your absence.
Not a major problem since the show unread posts resolves this to an extent. It just becomes a pain when there are a lot of unread posts and you only have time to read a few at a time.

I like the new site. The look might take a few days to get used to, but its not the end of the world. My only grumble is the red lights above new posts. I really wish they'd turn to grey after reading a post instead of requiring that you click mark all read. Either that or a way to mark thread read.At least that way you could pop onto the forums, look for any threads with a red light, read a few of those, and know that the rest you didn't read will still be red for later.

I've been away for a while, and even only cracked the surface on Torque... however, I've gotta say that the site design and navigation is far better than previously.nice job!

I fear change but the speed is much nicer and was one of my biggest complaints with the old site.
