Thanks for the redirect Sam. :)

I'm having the same issue... I click on the entry text and it just replays.

The count down is over here... we have different text displayed now. Perhaps the flash movie is set to a local system time not a server global time.

some of the forums already have thousands of posts.

Has this site been around for a while?

okay, aparently they combined the old alias forum & probably studio max as well to be the new "AREA" --- I guess my user name from alias transfered over.

it has under "current post" the very first question I ever asked about, involving batch rendering with the PLE version --- holy freak'n crap, that was totally not the last post i left there, more like the first.

feels like they are still working it out --- cos those forums are well, ummm...you'll see.

Autodesk migrated the old forums that were current... topics that were still live on those forums.

Your old account logon's should work as they did before.... unless you want to re register.

I love it! Maybe I'm the only one I don't know?

Almost everything is the old Alias Maya Community just migrated over (forums, downloads, pro interviews etc) but it looks slick!

I really enjoyed the video area (although most of it is prior stuff again).

I didn't understand how to rate something. Maybe its just not working in safari I don't know but it doesn't seem to work?

There isn't an area to contact the community hosts if there is a problem?

Still can't see who's logged on or not?

Few minor things but overall, Excellent! Even the way the member gallerys are is cool!

Yes it's definitely better than I was anticipating! Hopefully it'll grow into the second most useful place around, after here.
