So we can get updates about the forum software update but no updates regarding the software from which Cakewalk gets income; namely Sonar.

I constantly have problems posting answers. The forum software sucks big time imho.

Change is inevitable & face it - majority of people don't like change -
 
As my mother (bless her soul) use to say - just keep a living...

Change is okay with me, as long as it works. ;)
 
BTW What I do like about the new software is that it is compatible with all the browsers I use...!!! So I that regard I am happy with it. No more need to post ONLY using IE on my dekstop PC: I can now post anywhere from any browser. ;)

I haven't had an issue with posting yet - I've switched to chrome.  I welcome the change.  But I agree with the others about white space.  The line spacing is a bit too much.  Sure you can zoom out, but it doesn't change the proportions - just makes the font smaller.  The old software had a denser line spacing, enabling you to see more posts on a page with the same zoom setting as before.  It would be nicer to keep the line spacing the same as it previously was.  
 
The other thing is on the forum summary pages (not thread detail) they've included everyone's Avatar, which eats up vertical space.  They have a setting at the top "Full Version" and "Essentials only" which is nice - however the avatars still show up with Essentials Only.  Maybe they should tweak the Essentials settings to give a tighter line spacing and get rid of the avatars on the main Forum summary pages.

Forum seems to be working okay here, both on my PC and my Android tablet.  I agree that there's a bit too much white space but the new software is much better than the old one. Response time is much quicker.
Thanks for your efforts guys. It took a while but it was worth the wait.

On the subject of the forums....is it really necessary for people to list every piece of gear they've ever owned in their signature ? All it does is clog up the threads and quite frankly seems a bit pretentious.
Yea I get it if you're posting a support request then knowing your OS etc would be useful but having a list of all your gear repeated over and over in each post is just a waste in my opinion.  I hardly think what type of guitar you own is of any use for example other than for the purpose of bragging.
 
Perhaps a bit harsh but there you have it.........

Firefox is working really well with no issues yet. I'm just glad to get rid of IETab. Navigation is much easier now as well.

Was just about to agree with this. Then I got the error message. (Not the one Strummy had)
 
Probably just as well as agreeing with people is against the TOS it seems ;)

Well, seeing as you can't drive your car through a forum. How else are people supposed to compensate for their inadequacies in the trouser dept ? ;)

I am using ie9 and have had no problems at all (except for getting used to the new look, which wasn't really a problem. Posting is almost too fast... it is instant. After posting I get another reply box with a cursor in it which confused me the first few times.
So far (knock on wood) the new forum software has been excellent for my.
I hope it becomes stable for everyone!
