This post is to hold any issues or omissions as a result of the recently completed system upgrade. If you notice something that isn't right, or is missing, please just post it to this thread so I don't lose track!
UPDATED: Issues added from posts below:
1) (FIXED) Threaded comments pushing everything to the right on long threads
2) (FIXED) Can't edit own comments
3) (FIXED-TEMPORARY) Firefox browser not displaying site correctly - everything coming BELOW the left hand column. Problem is related to the automatic resizing of the theme for different sized screens. There is a bug in the code somewhere that is causing it not to work properly so for the time being I have disabled the auto-resizing functionality.
4) (FIXED) Repeated discussion in a forum topic
5) (FIXED) Can now edit OTHER peoples posts.
Upgrades are difficult and thanks for taking this on. One thing that is happening with Firefox is that the forum posts by topic and the posts themselves when opened are at the bottom of a very long vertical downward scroll beneath the loft side panel. Don't know if this is by design but it is a bit of a nuisance to have to scroll this much.

Too wide and too long! Lots of dead space at the top. I'm runnin' IE7.

Post replies begin to crunch in width as they progress along, turning into nothing but a single word per line forcing the entire post to become vertical...like this:
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
...where as each - is one word.
The post edit button is missing.
The appearance looks great! I like how it separates each post and the action buttons are better than just active text links for functions.
As with any upgrading..there are always little crumbs to clean out.

In the thread "Isotron and the AMT5000" I noticed, in addition to the narrowing column problem already mentioned, that the entire thread repeated itself after the most recent entry.

Hi RFB - Good catch on number 2) - I was trying out 'threaded comments' for number 1) but see that it isn't ideal for us as we have LONG threaded comment streams!
I have 'unthreaded' the comments and enabled users to edit their own posts (oops)
