    I've changed my mind. I'm really enjoying this new format. It just takes some getting used to. The rest of you should stop complaining and switch to using a computer.

    If I say Fake News will I get banned??

    I think we've all been banned and this is forum hell, created just for us to share our misery.

    As evidence in support of @nooshinjohn's hypothesis, consider the following:
    At the top of the forum's page is a "polk" logo. Clicking upon that logo...

    leads right back to the forum.

    It's like the freakin' Hotel California, man.
    A one star Yelp rating with a Joe Walsh guitar solo. No, not that!
    You can check out any time you want, but you can never leave.

    It does take you back for Forum Home, though.
    Like the early days of web design where you'd put links in as many places as you could just to make it clicky and interactive. Like GeoCities?

    Ugh...for me, saving a 'draft' of a comment/post did not work. I was preparing a rather involved mhardy-type reply with pics/images, but it didn't save it, so I'm not sure if starting over would even work.

    EDIT: Utilizing the 'Preview' option with images/pics included is not working.

    . Ok, including/attaching pics works, but not for draft/preview purposes.

    Hey everyone,

    Thanks for all the "spirited" commentary :)

    Please note, the Polk Logo now takes you to the Polkaudio.com home page. If you happened to enjoy the Groundhog Day like experience that was previously provided by the logo, I've added a "Forum" link to the top-level NAV here as well. That will take you to the forum home page and you can click into an infinite loop to your heart's content.

    Your other concerns are not being ignored, this was just a fix that was easy enough for even a marketing guy, so I went in and made the tweaks.

    On a related note, the forum link has now been returned the bottom Nav on the Polkaudio.com site home page and will be added to the support page as well. Expect some new members soon. Please give them a warm welcome.

    Thanks,

    Carl

    Hey Carl, the Friday evening crowd shows up tomorrow. Back in the day things could get way more spirited around sundown/Happy Hour on Fridays.

    Woohoo!!

    Enjoy the ride. B)

    Hi @CarlJacobson_POLK ,

    The bookmark "ribbon" graphic is too near the page number graphics of multi-page threads. When trying to go to a specific page it's a crap shoot if that's going to happen or you're setting a bookmark.

    Thanks for your help with the Forum!

    Noted, are you experiencing this on mobile, desktop or both?

    If you could hook me up with a screenshot, that would help as well.

    Thanks,

    My background, FWIW, is grey, not white, @tonyb -- are you using a "device"?

    @CarlJacobson_POLK while we're picking on the forum's format ;) -- there's something odd going on with post count.
    Take a look at this thread: https://forum.polkaudio.com/discussion/193906/legend-l800-atmos-home-theater
    The OP @tjcinnamon has made numerous posts to his/their own thread, but his/their postcount still shows "1".
    Anyone in Vanilla-space know why that would be, and/or how to fix it?

    Thanks!

    Carl, since you were just tagged in the above post, I thought I'd let you know about another CS complaint. The guy didn't put the "@" symbol before your name, so you're not going to get notified.

    Here is a link to the post from Cmoore:

    https://forum.polkaudio.com/discussion/comment/2640768/#Comment_2640768

    I know it's not your job to deal with CS problems, and if we keep tagging you about CS complaints, you're going to get notifications daily. We're not really sure how to deal with the ongoing CS issues here on the forum or who to pass them on to.

    I don't think anyone liked the previous Vanilla morph of this forum, either. We'd accommodated ourselves to it -- and we'll accommodate to this version, too.

    This version has some rough edges that need to be (i.e., that should be) addressed -- I think we're being good forum citizens/stewards by trying to catalog issues in some sort of discoverable/actionable way.

    EDIT: As @CarlJacobson_POLK said, it might well be that the new Reserve Series (which, to me at least, looks like it could pretty darned cool in price/performance ratio) may bring a bolus of new members if the forum meets otherwise unmet needs for the Polk brand.
