Thank you very much,

Hello bb,
Just my view, I feel after any new post we get the Similar Topics box right below the first post and then we get to see the comments posted by forum members. Unlike the previous view they were posted right at the end I feel it should be the same here also. This is a damper when we questions in the top most post and we are looking for answer in the very next post that "Similar Post" section is really taking up a lot of screen space. It is better if that could be moved to the end. 
Let me know your views on it too.
Rahul

Thank you Rahul - very valid observation.

I could see how it could actuall be helpful too in case it is a double post or you see a more helpful explanation of the same question - with more kudos for example. That way you won't waste time on the answers that are not "worthy".

Will definitely consider and see how the box performs. Moving it down is quite easy actually. I would like to give it a chance here though to see if it has a benefit in another forum perhaps more so than the inconvenience in the math forum.

Thank you for your post!

There is another thing what I have noticed, When I have to type a reply of more than the lines in this Box it is not automatically scrolling down. 
I can only type 6 lines, after that I am not able to see what I am typing below but when I submit my post it will be seen.

I feel the scroll on the text box is missing.

Hi BB

1) Cannot find My posts .

This section was visible in the old design where I could see all of my posts, but now I can no longer find it

2) The logo on the top which says " GMAT Club changed on June 5th - Find out What's New (hint: tests, books, experts, and looks)  "

this logo cannot be closed, if we try to close it , we are ejected from the sub forums and have to start from beginning , and then again the logo appears.

Regards 
Joy

Click on your username and you will see a button that says "Search User's Posts"

Thank you - yes. We will address that. You will be able to remove the top bar tomorrow.

Thank you.

I have attached the screen shot , for your easy reference.

2) The search BOX just below the MBA@UNC banner is not working , its showing codes , when I tried to search anything .

Joy

Thank you for this report. You can post it in the designated thread to keep things together/organized.

I see the screenshot but I do not see the search box there - can you please tell me what the screenshot intended to show/demonstrate?

Thank you!

1)Now I am able to see my posts thank you , but suppose I log in after many days , I cannot remember my last post , how do I click on my username ? To get to my Board presence page .I mean shouldn't there be a direct link to Board presence page .

In the present scenario I have to search my user name and click on it , or make a post , then revisit my post and click on my user name.

if this issue is irrelevant , then that's fine , just wanted to bring it up. It can be kept as it is.

2) I have re attached the screen shot , showing the search box in question. which is not working .

Thank you 
regards 
Joy

Sorting by Kudos is sorts only the posts visible on page 1 and not all the posts. Is this the functionality ?
BTW, The look is fresh. Thanks for the free e-books.

bb · Answer

It works right for me. I will PM you with a few questions.

Hi GMATClub Team - Before the upgrade I was able to go through the selected user's earlier posts but now when I try to search another user's posts it brings me to my own previous posts. That doesn't seem correct?

bb · Answer

Yes, thank you. It is an accidental bug that was introduced when we returned "My Posts" links. 
It should be fixed in 24 hrs (we make small updates/changes daily).

Thank you for reporting!

This is more of a question... is there any difference between "New Posts" and "Active Topics"? If not, its a bit repetitive. I havent noticed a difference

geometric · Answer

Hey guys, I'm not sure if this is the best spot, but regarding mobile, and the huge number of us that use Android:

1) Is there a better way to access the forums on Android than the web interface? It's pretty terrible.

2) GMAT Toolkit for Android, please?

bb · Answer

Thanks. we will add ability to switch between full and mobile interface back (it disappeared). We are working on the Android Toolkit but it is a very complex app

bb · Answer

Thank you. Agree. We'll take out one of them. I think the New Posts and just leave Active Topics.

bb · Answer

Done. The link to the full site version is back.

Hello bb, 
I just noticed that some changes have been made in the club-quiz. The difficulty level, now has more than one option but the programming has some glitches. 
I get the following error: 
preg_match() expects parameter 2 to be string, array given

An internal error occurred while the Web server was processing your request. Please contact the webmaster to report this problem.
I believe the code has not been updated to accept the new array option.

By the way - absolutely love the new features..
