Hello all,
Welcome to the new site. We know there's a lot of new stuff to check out, and things are a bit different than they used to be (mostly for the better). Please post your thoughts on the website on this thread. We'll cull through them over the next few weeks and put it in the priority stack to fix in future iterations of the site.

What's the ransom amount on the zip files in the resources? How long do we have to pay that before we get an empty file folder in the mail?

Hey Anthony. The Associates program is not dead, but it is going to be a bit different...might be called something different as well. You can email me personally and we can talk about it more in depth if you like.

It doesn't seem to save your "settings" when you open the main forum page (which sections are closed and which are open for choosing the individual forum).

The following has been fixed today: - Redirect URLs should now be working: HUGE thanks to Orion for his short-term solution.
- Missing forums have returned: iTorque, GreenEar, and Collada are all available. We also pulled Constructor out of the Artist Corner into its own category.
- International Sales: There is now a Country drop-down list on the billing information form, this should help our international customers.
- What's my password?!: There's a new reset password option on the login page in case you're having trouble logging in.
- TDN lives: You should be able to log into our online wiki once again.
- Download links have been added to resources: So now you can get all those files back.
- Return of Watched Threads: All of your previous watched blogs and threads have magically returned (don't worry, it won't remove any you may have marked as watched since the new site went up).
- Edit comments on forums and blogs: Fear typos and 1 am comments no more!
- Unread forum threads functionality is back: You can mark all forum posts as "read" so you can always log into the site later and see what's been happening in your absence.
- The Markup Lite cheat sheet is back: No more guessing to try to remember how to add a video or otherwise pretty-up your post. [li]Tweaked bulk accounts for educators: It should be easier now to manage student licenses if you are working for a school.

Even though I've purchased the RTS Starter Kit, I no longer have access to it on TDN (i can still get to the other products TDN pages fine).

The "My Watched List" is a little odd though, it only shows the first 10 watched threads? (my first 10 watched threads are from 2001, would be better if it did what the old watched threads list did maybe and only show threads with something actually new?).
The notification emails are still messed up too. No link to the thread, and they try to be HTML but show up as plain text, with all the MarkupLite intact. Should strip all that out and just format it in a nice plain text way.

I would like to request that the resources get categorized in some manner as well as the blogs. For example, I can't easily look for Torque X resources. The blogs is also tough because I liked being able to look at Employee blogs and Associate blogs. Now they get buried under 10 to 15 user blogs. Those are probably the biggest missing functionality that we had before that I'd like to see return. Keep up the good work.

I have a pro license for Torque X / TXB but don't see the private forum. Does it still exist? If so, how can I get my access back?Also, thank you very much web team for returning the view unread forum posts. That was one of my most used features.
