Well i'm sure you can see what just happened I think it's an update it might be a glitch. I created this for two reasons. One: a mod's/admin's verification that this is or is not an update. Two: to talk about the changes made in this update. (If it is an update.)
I'll be completely honest but the new forums feel less like a forum and more like a commenting system. Also, it appears that the mods, knights and admins have lost their text colour privileges.
Well, I had this link from long ago. I use it as a quick link to AG from my homepage normally, but it started to go haywire after the update.
Actually, after clicking the links from email mentions (including those from a few days before), I think most old URLs don't work anymore. The email link I just got after you called me out did though.
As R2 said as well, the hidden Forums have disappeared, though that's not really urgent for now.

@boppins As you can see, the post system is also messed up, with my post appearing twice, and nicho's post appearing thrice. In fact I even tried to delete my second post but I couldn't.
Minor note but at the top of the reply box, instead of 'Reply to (Thread Name)' it's 'Reply to Initial Post Title Goes Here'. Also, there are no golden coins any more.
Additionally (I know I post them one at a time, but I need to discover them before posting first), there is no "last post" link, like in the old website next to the threads. You can't get directly to the very last post, you have to click the thread, click "Last page" and then scroll down to see the last post. This is somewhat impractical. @boppins
Actually, @R2D21999 and @nichodemus, "The Closed Council" still works for me but does not show up in the community page but when I go directly typing out the link, all those forums are still there.
@boppins, please see what can be done regarding the inclusion of the "last post" button in the forums and the colored text and golden coins for knights/mods/admins. But, I do feel happy for the new update. Another suggestion - Instead of proving link to the mods in the main page which has links to different forums, I feel providing them in all forum pages where are threads are listed would be better because it would be easier to report spam. Is the 30 second time limit for posting in the forums is removed forever, @boppins? The CSRF security fail page keeps popping up for me every time I try to post in a thread. So, sometimes, it may tend to annoy users... Will there no longer be date/time stamps for editing posts? And, is a deleted post detectable by admins?
I also feel that putting up that warning text net to the submit button and the Formatting Help button is very good and helpful!

The base URLs are the same, but pre-update links to pages won't work because a change was made to the way pages show up in the URL.
Your link went here: http://armorgames.com/community/thread/4550615/dont-like-ads-dont-click-here/page/1
The new URL for that page is this: http://armorgames.com/community/thread/4550615/dont-like-ads-dont-click-here?page=1
In fact, any pre-update link to a specific page of a thread can be fixed by changing the 2nd to last slash to a ? and the last slash to an = sign.

It looks like editing is still limited to 10 minutes for non-mods as I can't edit a post I made 32 minutes ago. That time limit doesn't apply to deleting one's own posts.
