Serious Poll on New GB - Problems Anyone?

Ok, there seems to be a few teething problems for people...I was wondering where yours are, maybe a summary might help Buck put things straight...maybe with yes or no answers unless I have missed something...if I have missed something please feel free to add it...

1) Has your login name changed?
2) Can you access your profile to amend it?
3) Can you access your PMs
4) Do your PMs appear to have been separated (as emails perhaps) with each response having it's own link in your in box, but no trace of your responses in your out box?
5) Do you have to log in regularly (ie to access boards or post replies to threads)

I guess it is a matter of personal preference, but I find it looks too busy...I liked the cleaner appearance of the old boards. I also do not like the way pms have been split apart...it makes correspondance more diffficult...and suddenly I had something like 150 pms instead of 40 This means that I have to spend quite a lot of time wading through my in box in order to free up space...... *sigh*

3 Yes
4 All deleted unknown

4) Do your PMs appear to have been separated (as emails perhaps) with each response having it's own link in your in box, but no trace of your responses in your out box? Yes.
5) Do you have to log in regularly (ie to access boards or post replies to threads) No.

1) Has your login name changed? No

2) Can you access your profile to amend it? Yes.

3) Can you access your PMs? Yes.

4) Do your PMs appear to have been separated? Yes (is this going to be fixed, because it is VERY annoying...)

5) Do you have to log in regularly? No

I like the control panel, but I don't like the shorter pages in the thread and I don't like the PM structure -- I agree with DW that it makes it much harder to manage your PMs. Though, unlike DW who has to wade through thousands of them from all of her devoted fans and supplicants, I only have 10... I guess I shouldn't complain.

Ok, update. Not only have I lost the 'sent' part of all my saved PMs, I have lost some of the older received parts of each PM...and more frustrating - whole PMs have gone
