There's several of us having this issue.  Can't the solution be shared here?

The solution is to get an updated digital security certificate installed on the adamsforums domain. Nobody here can do that, so we've reached out to those who can.

If you want a temporary "fix", you can try to visit the forum using https instead of http, and manually add a security exception when prompted by your browser. Although, clicking around the forum afterwards may revert you back to http, which will get annoying pretty quick.

@GerryC any ideas here about the missing icons?

Hi Dan,

I've sent you a private message about the likely cause and solution. Sorry for the delay - I didn't get a notification from being tagged in your post. I only saw this now after you messaged me.

Hey all,

The forum software was updated about a week ago to a few minor versions above what the existing theme was built around, so there will likely be some visual issues while we try to sort them out. Anything you come across, just let us know here, and we will do our best to address them. Screenshots help a ton.

Thanks

How does the Iron Remover differ from Wheel Cleaner for this purpose?

Edit: found some clarification here: 

Thanks for reporting these but us forum admins don't have anything to do with the main website. I'll make sure the appropriate people know about these.

Sorry it took so long to get to this - the red buttons across the top (except "Forum Home") should now open in a new tab.

We had to unexpectedly change the domain's DNS servers yesterday, which takes a little while to propagate. During that time the forum was unusable, but it appears to have finished.

Well that's too bad. How about adding it back so users have the option? Do I hear a second?

As I said, the feature was removed from the software. It's not something we can just flip a switch to turn on - it doesn't exist anymore and has been replaced by the Followers system.

The friends concept was removed from this version and replaced with followers. I believe this was done so members would have the ability to follow another member without that being automatically reciprocal.

Seems to be working fine for me; looks like the stylesheet isn't loading for you. Is it just the settings page or all of the forum pages? Do you have an adblocker enabled? Does pressing CTRL + F5 (hard refresh) fix it?

It seems this system has changed. Rather than converting the abbreviation to full text, it keeps the abbreviation but adds an html attribute (see the dotted underlines?) which allows you to hover over it and see the full text. Hover doesn't work on mobile, however, and I don't see a setting to revert to the previous behavior.

That is something we can easily tweak if others feel the same way.

Click your name in the upper right (along the black bar), go to Account Settings. On the settings page, click 'Signature' in the menu on the left. 

Here's a shortcut: http://www.adamsforums.com/settings/signature/

From there you can add text or upload an image.

I'm on mobile currently, so I can't say for sure if there is something that directly shows you what you're after. It seems now users can create their own custom views called "streams", and set preferences to filter only what they want. Try this:

http://www.adamsforums.com/discover/?do=create

I believe this is also under the Activity tab.

There are two links for unread content towards the top of the page. One I screenshotted in the post below. 

Which preview function are you referring to? Previewing your own post before submitting it? Previewing the first post of a topic without opening it? If it's either of these, check out the screenshots in this topic: 

I found a few other forums that had wonky permissions for members. They should all be fixed now.

It looks like the permissions on the 'Members Only' forum got changed a bit. I've fixed it, and will be checking the other forums to make sure the rest are not changed as well.

It seems all you have to do is hover over the topic name and this appears:

Signatures were disabled. I've re-enabled them.

I don't currently know if that feature still exists, or if it does, where it's moved to. I'll have to do some digging.

And I miss it!!!

If you're referring to previewing a post before submitting it, it's now part of this toolbar:

Under Activity, go to Unread Content:

The upgrade is complete. Please use the Forum Support area to report any issues you may come across, and we will make efforts to address them. Please note that at first the forum may seem slow - this is due to a number of background processes (indexing, etc) that are still running, and should subside as the day progresses.
