The NEW look will take a little while getting used to, was able to get around Version 3 O.K., had a look at V4 when it was included on V3, so it is not as daunting as it would have been for me.

Click the blue "Reply" button at the bottom of each message, does the same thing.

Quote seems to be the default behaviour if you click reply on the relevant person's post ie i just clicked reply on your post and it auto-quoted you.
As to subscribing to threads, for normal ie non-News threads it's easy, however for News articles it looks like you have to go the forum list and access the News area in Forum mode ie here ~ http://forums.afterdawn.com/forum_view.cfm/33 - (that's if you want to subscribe to an article and not actually reply at that time).

No probs. Tons of things have changed and its understandable that people have questions. I would have addressed them in the original news article, but just didn't have time at that point (had to fix handful of things that caused the site to crash).

It's there :), the only downside is you get 2 email notifications for each reply to News articles, one from the 'forum' side of things, the other from the News side of things, you'll see what i mean when you receive 2 of them.
ie it's like the old v3 site layout, see the 2 different links for the two areas, News ~
http://www.afterdawn.com/news/article.cf...ka_v4_goes_live
and 'forum' News ~
http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/841779
Just as long as the replies from the first type of link come thru with the correct post in my notifications (in the v3 layout you'd always be taken to the wrong replies from the email notifications) :)
I've always used the 'forum' News links area as i rarely reply to most News articles i want to subscribe to.

It is the same thing. The list of threads you subscribe to, is cached and updated once an hour.

As i say if you just want to subscribe to a news article (and not reply at that time) you'll need to do it the way i stated in my last couple of replies. I'll have a look see in my own subscribed list to see what's what..

I'm impressed - the list of Subscribed threads appears instantly, and that's with both Cores running Seti@Home flat out. Very impressive as the old v3 layout would bring my machines to their knees (even the Quad Core) when trying to list the subscribed threads (i'm subscribed to almost 41,000 threads so the code that does the lookup would max out my CPU's as much as video encoding programs!), nice one Admins. I had the CPU maxxing out problem for quite some years (it used to destroy my old P4 machine at work)

Don't care for the new site. The main news column is much smaller now making it harder to read!!!!
