I can't get onto the forums through the 'forums' link. When I click on forums it takes me to the page that says Specktra is being updated. Its been like this since Specktra was undergoing it's downtime.
The only way I can get onto the forums is to go to a recent thread, and then jump forums at the bottom of the page. And then when I am in a thread the specktra information box (above my username) is missing and I just have a huge grey rectangle.
Am I doing something wrong? I've tried refreshing, logging out then in again, clearing my cookies, but nothing seems to have helped.

Well it looks like I will no longer be browsing specktra at school. The new fixed width doesn't work very well on my school laptop (Asus EEE, it's tiny). I guess specktra will only be an at home guilty pleasure, although like other who have widescreens have said there's a lot of empty/unused space due to the fixed width.
I do like the new look of the front pages, however I'm not really thrilled with the how the forums are set up. I'll play around some more, I'm sure it will all grow on me eventually.

Sure, good question!! Everything is driven through the "contribute" navigation at the top of the menu. Simply select what type pf media you wish to upload and follow the the instructions.

That's a known issue, it will be addressed.

You'll need to either try restarting your computer or starting a new browser session. (i.e. closing all your browser windows and opening a new one)

Sorry to all whom this inconveniences, I truly believe this update was needed and this was the best decision/direction for the community. We'll work out the bugs for sure, but the forum width will not be changing. I appreciate the effort you all put into adjusting, it means a lot to me you continue to enjoy the site.

Okay guys, heres a few of my issues. If anyone could help it would be much appreciated.
1. Doesn't work at all with Mozilla Firefox. I have to use IE just to use Specktra. Does anyone know why MF isnt working? It won't let me do anything except constantly asking me to log in, even if I have a bunch of times.
2. My sub'd threads won't go away. I go check on the recent posts, click to USER CP, and all the same threads are listed even though there are no new posts.
3. I'm still having the logging in issue, even if I have, It still logs me out sometimes and then logs me in again and won't let me access the forums
4. My time is off. Im sure there is an easy way to fix this, I just don't know what it is.
5. Same issue that you're already aware of with the posts not showing up.
thanks for all your hard work everyone!

No, I always use Specktra with Firefox, it just stopped working after the switch.
I don't even have a firewall or virus protection right now, I'm in the midst of switching between two programs for virus protection, so there isn't even anything installed that could be blocking it. Hopefully its just a temporary thing.

I can't access my User CP, when i click on it, it shows the login page (even if i'm already logged in) and if i re-enter my informations, it only redirects to the forum main page.
So i can't access my CP at all

The new site is on it's way to being great!
I have run across a few things in my adventures...the times are off (as others have noticed)...some pages have a lot of scrolling and my PMs seem to be going haywire...for instance, it will say I have 2, then I'll check and there will be no new ones displayed, but then if I delete some past pms, they will show up - but then the ones I had deleted previously reappear and the pm notify will tell me I have two again. Wow, did that make any sense?
Thanks for all of your hard work!!

Woohoo, I have my menu bar back
yay!
The only problem I am having now is that when I get a notification email with a reply on a subscribed thread, if I click on the thread link in the email, the page won't load.
