I'm sorry, but there are far more intuitive and easy to use 3rd party forums like vBulletin and others. Why this custom one? I also can't get to these forums from SolidWorks anymore (back in 2014 and now in 2015 as well.)
Is it just me? Granted I don't use them frequently, but I shouldn't have to figure out the simplest things every time I do use the forum.
I am locking this thread. When bringing up issues or questions, please make them specific and on one topic.
There are a number of good questions in here and I will branch them into separate questions.
We will also get the open issue list updated.
