New style website! New usernames?

Scott Ewart's picture

Want to know if your old username and password work? Short answer: they do, sort of.

So you're worried about your forum account? Don't be: we've transferred all the posts and accounts to the new site; the only difference is that all usernames now begin with "pca_". If you want, you can change this username once you log in. Your password hasn't changed and you can access your account right away and start commenting and posting to the new website.

To reflect the modern and stylistic new PCAnswers magazine, we've given our website a complete overhaul. The new site is much easier to navigate and will contain much more original content than its predecessor.

Don't like it. It's not a forum in the true sense, just a blog reply system designed to discourage punters from staying around too long.

No sigs, no avatars, nothing to make it personal.

Sad day. PCAF dies.

Truth is rarely pure, and never simple

My sig is still here - just appears at the top unless I shift it, but doesn't appear any different, so makes it pointless.

Why did PCA not take any notice of how other companies roll out new sites?  Did they not think that a BETA site for users to test would be a good idea and also ask for views as to what they would want?  There's a multitude of forum software out there, that is all completely customisable to fit in with the new look, so why choose this?

New Forum

No sorry.  A miss.

Where can I change settings such as 'my location'?

A glossy PR presentation, very little substance.

Why, Why, Why?

If it aint broke, don't fix it.

Guess there must be new blood on board trying to make a name for him/herself.

Sorry, its a miss, but like income tax we will come to accept it one day.

Its easy when you know how
Somewhat harder when you don't!
