If you have for some reason forgotten your password, there is a Forgotten Password function as well. </I><BR/><BR/>All Newsarama accounts had to be recreated, even if by the moderators. We see how well that went. Posts were archived rather than brought over. It is odd that Newsarama's migration was done later than the rest and with considerably more impact on the end user. Maybe the delay was in hopes of finding a better solution...but that seemed to have been tossed away in the end.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05734361945694475981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14916953.post-73871626179392387322008-06-08T16:13:00.000-04:002008-06-08T16:13:00.000-04:00Imaginova ruined Newsarama for me (and based on th...Imaginova ruined Newsarama for me (and based on the board complaints MANY others). My biggest beef is they way they threw out all the old post counts/join dates but people from other Imaginova sites retained theirs!

My first impression was that it looks like a poor man's CBR, which is saying something as their new homepage was a shocker the first time I say it. <BR/><BR/>I haven't bitched about it on the site because God knows the Mods are taking enough grief as it is but the whole changeover was handled poorly. Especially the usernames parts, it took me a day, after many unsuccessful password changes to get The Guvnor up and running again. It was just so frustrated in general and you just have to look and see how many people had made temporary accounts so they could post.<BR/><BR/>For me it seems the 'Rama has lost its identity. For general comic stuff I favoured that over CBR but now it is hard enough to find little obscure newsbits, it has become an entertainment site more or less. And the free daily comics have gone which is a big loss. The forums are a messtoo. Hopefully there will be some upswing soon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
