As long I get some kind of dark skin back that doesnt bleach the eyes, I'll get used to the other stuff. Maybe we'll even get bots or something useful aside from all the social media nonsense.
Do you like the new forum?

I miss the old aesthetic, but we may get that back with a skin, it is TBD at the moment. Mostly we are trying to get the major functions working again (like the moderation workflow, which was broken until last night).
One thing I do like is the ability to highlight a partial post and reply to just that.

Should I be seeing thread tools and convert to resource? Sounds like mod-related stuff or a quick way dump a thread into plaintext?

Are you sure? Look at the upper right corner of the thread, just above the line at the top of the first post.

As you mention there it seems to be a permissions issue, and one has to ask why in the world would I have permission, of any kind?
Yours are the default permissions, and the thread tools are probably the same one as from vbulletin. Just check what they do.
(it's me having a permission problem, due to special user group assignment; should affect a bunch of other people too, like e.g. moderators).

You have all sorts of permissions. Permission to post replies, permission to post threads, permission to edit your posts, permission to see all the threads in non-hidden forums, permission to see the "thread tools" thing, etc. And the answer is that you haven't screwed up badly enough for us to permanently revoke your permissions. Yet.
But yeah, some of those really basic permissions normally granted to all non-banned users are screwed up for some user groups, including apparently retired mods. For a little while moderators couldn't edit their own posts while other users could, and some moderators seem to have permissions others don't for no clear reason. I couldn't see most of the staff forum at first, and two subforums are still missing.
It is about time that the forums were upgraded!! Thanks TF. I'm sure that over the next few weeks staff will get it all sorted out. I don't mind the skin, but would like choices. This change is good!

Yeah, I would like to thank TF for all the work done all these years! I'm sure change is tough, but we'll eventually get there...Themes are certainly missed, hopefully everything gets sorted out soon!

Messages from moderators come through as anonymous alerts that can't be responded to. That's not going to be popular.
I hope you had your Celestia content saved elsewhere.I hate it. Isnt this one of those forum services where "keep me logged in forever" isn't actually forever? I had to deal with that a lot when I went to FSdeveloper. Highly annoying.
And I'm gonna miss the groups. RIP.
I can get the Dunefanatics conversation going again in A&E, but the loss of IALS and a couple of others (as well as the Off-Topic Opt-in group) really hurts. I wish we'd been given a little advance warning this was going to happen, so we could have saved at least some of this.

Yes, I have a bunch of hard drives and usb sticks with several redundant backups of my Celestia stuff, so I think I still have them all. Thank you.I hope you had your Celestia content saved elsewhere.

And I agree, advance warning would have been wonderful; I would have been able to double/cross check to make sure I didn't lose any Celestia uploads for sure.

Digging the new skin, but the numbers on the notification bubbles are unreadably small now.
