Switching to light theme on mobile, all pages appear entirely blank. This happened on different browsers.

You shouldn't see any alternate themes to select from.

Saving my account settings logged me out when going back to the main page.
Looks like it's been removed, but that was the result when it was up earlier.

Apologies if this has been mentioned, but did the update wipe out our previously subscribed threads?

Not sure why mine is working OK then. At least it's an issue that's been noted now.
You can also add namxes by typing them in after an @, if you start typing the name in after that it'll bring up a list of users.
I've fixed it for mine by doing a 400x400 version with some space, but I did notice in my profile it has a black line at the bottom like it's been cropped. I don't know if that helps in any way, but I'm okay with how mine looks now.
They should be here:

Currently under "Watched" in the Forums tab of the header navigation.

Nope.
If you click 'Watched' on the top navigation bar, you'll see your previously subscribed threads.
Two questions:
This is likely already in the works, but will the ability to turn avatars off come back during the flurry of upgrades?
Second question: having not really followed the development of vbulletin I was surprised to read last week that the site was on vbulletin 3 and not vbulletin 5. There was obviously a conscious reason for that, but I found that surprising. Did vbulletin make some kind of change for the worse as their platform developed? As an IT professional, I am interested in what factors were weighed to make a wholesale software and database conversation more lucrative than a software upgrade with an existing product. Clearly it was a very large undertaking, so the reasons were worth the work.
Edit: typos galore. I'm tired and the coffee hasn't kicked in yet.

I wasn't seeing it either but realized that I'm getting signed out every time I enter a new thread. Once I log back in, I see the "Like" button again.

Yeah, there are avatar issues.
For some reason, I can't upload a new avatar, even if I delete this one. This avatar had the same name as the one I wanted to upload.
I also don't like how the new layout doesn't use my fullscreen. Someone got paid to make this look bad.
No forums buttons that I can see. Not easy to switch to different forums like OT back to gaming.

Is there a bright theme option anywhere? I profoundly dislike dark themes and never use them anywhere. It bothers my eyes. If there isnt such a theme, will one be implemented ?

One is coming, I wasn't available last night post upgrade so they put a temp placeholder theme. Sometime today

The important difference in Reddit is the downvote. Also message ordering is affected by those, not the case here.

Welcome Back Gaf.
Definitely seems snappier on mobile.

Technically it is responsive (resize the window to a smaller width), just the max width was set to 1200px. I've just updated that to be 96% like the vb forums were.

Explain your argument.Can we please get rid of the like system? It has no benefits.

Unlikely, these are currently disabled due to being distracting.
Known issue from the migration. It will be fixed soon.Not sure if it's everyone but apostrophes are broken it seems. Sometimes it's a box and sometimes it's some jumbled code.
This will definitely get better and themes are being updated soon.

The UI on mobile takes up way too much space. It does run much better though.

May we get an integrated Thread Hide feature?

that's the benefit: Avoiding unnecessary "I agree"messages

Looks good, but is it me or can we not access Off-Topic/Community instantly from the Gaming Forum (ala The tabs from the old website)?
It only helps to fuel the hive mind mentality you see on Reddit, or Facebook, for that matter.
There's nothing good about it.

Old links to posts/threads don't seem to work at the moment (they just redirect to neogaf.com). Will those eventually be restored or are they lost forever?
Also when I look at my own personal post history, it's missing...a lot. It seems to be a random slice of posts from 2012.

Experiencing this too.
It's on the to-do list. Legacy mobile-gaf had a lot of custom features and we'll aim for feature parity with it on the new platform wherever it's feasible.
vb4 and vb5 are less efficient than vb3, and we needed a high-end ten server array with many custom hacks to keep GAF afloat on vb3, so that would be a problem! The features vb4 and vb5 added were mostly useless social bloat, too, so it wasn't a very compelling upgrade path overall and they're not viewed positively by most of the forum community. XF is kind of an unofficial fork of vb3 made by some of its ex-devs, and has a great track record for security, efficiency, scalability, add-on support, etc., so it's been the clear choice for several years now.

You’d rather a page of ‘I agree...’ posts than a single line of text below the post saying who agrees with it? Each to their own, but I know what I prefer, and I know what’s staying.

Loving the changes espically the mobile view
I do have a small issue though I changed my Avatar once but when I try to change it again it just reloads the first one I uploaded. Even deleting the current avatar and uploading a completely different one the very first one I uploaded appears again.

Yeah it seems to be doing that. I can't change mine and re-cropping it doesn't actually change the way it's cropped. Small issue, probably be worked out soon enough.

Only issue I see is that it broke my old saved urls for the individual forums. Should probably setup a redirect from the old urls to the new ones.
