I'll be spending the next month ironing bugs. Some of which are already on my todo list... other I'll need your help in pointing out.
This would be the spot to do it. Let me know what you find and we'll get to squashing those bugs!
When reporting problems, please include your OS & Browser. Thanks!

Hello there! Just thought I'd let you know I came across a bug type thing. When trying to view the thread for ComFest 2011, I can't view pages 4, 5 or 6. I get redirected to the main page instead. I use Windows 7 64-bit, and Firefox 5.0.
Thanks a bunch, this place is awesome.

The banner / header area above the list of topics and message is not formatting correctly. Win7 64-bit and FireFox 5. (Chrome and IE are fine.)

Clearing the cache worked.

Running Windows 7
Chrome won't load CU at all. I've cleared cache and even manually retyped the address (just in case the favorite link is corrupted). It redirects me to http://www.columbusunderground/offline.html and the page then locks up.
I had the same problem as the above poster in IE. Clearing cache worked in that case.
Firefox loaded just fine.
I hope this isn't happening to everyone signing on.
That said, so far I really like the new layout.
edit: Finally got Chrome to load properly. Had to do a total restart of the system.

Weird about Chrome. I don't use it heavily but just fired it up on both OSX and WindowsXP and the site loaded fine. I'm guessing since a restart fixed the issue it was just a cache-clearing problem.
Shouldn't happen to everyone, but there may be a little confusion this week. That's one reason we picked a holiday to relaunch. Generally a little more slow and casual on the interwebs than a normal Monday. ;)

I'm honestly expecting the floodgates to open today with glitches and bugs and such. Plan for the worst and assume it's not going to go smoothly. ;)
If I had an extra 800 hours we could foolproof it more, but that's not the case. This project was a year in the works and I had to draw a line in the sand eventually and say we're launching it even if it's only 95% functional and not 100%. Otherwise it wouldn't be up until 2012. ;)

In explorer 8 and windows XP the background is a wierd diagonal stripe pattern* and the text in all comments is a faded condensed light gray. When leaving or editing comments I seem to get an inconsistent 'this tab has been recovered' notice. I have cleared the cache.
I don't know if this is a bug, but the advertisements no longer change unless I manually refresh the page. I thought they might have scrolled before.
*which turns to an all blue via a gradient fade.
I like the magazine approach to the front page.

Here's some stuff you might already know about!
From the Metropreneur blurb in the footer: "Its aim is to tell the stories of Central Ohio�s business community"
that apostrophe is being replaced with a unicode replacement character.
The Vimeo URL on the "about" page isn't being replaced with the video. Also on that page, should "DJ" be capitalized?
Something about the dropdown code in that upper bar (FEATURES | FOOD | SHOPPING etc.) is making it incredibly slow. When you move from one dropdown to another, it almost seems to flicker.
Now that you've disabled user-changeable display names, you can probably remove the name that displays in parentheses on a user's Profile page.
The "browse through the archives" form dropdown box only includes November 2010, and is the only place on the site where you're using a seriff font.
The "red brick district" is not a real district and nobody can convince me otherwise.
"Shop local" is still missing quite a few hyperlinks, and looks like the formatting is only half done.
The "my password doesn't work" issue on the FAQ page is two years old.
Looks good, congrats on pushing it through!

I'm getting an Error 404 page when clicking the Columbus Underground Logo/Picture at the bottom. The arrow to the right of it zooms me back up to the top. I like that feature. Great new update. Me like.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not about the diagonal strip background fading to blue or the fact that your ads don't rotate without reloading (that's never been the case). ;)
Sounds like the only issue you're having is the "this tab has been recovered" in IE. I've seen that once or twice. Will see if I can pin down what's causing it.
I am happy to report that only 33% of our users are on IE now, compared to over 75% just a few short years ago. ;)

I was not trying to be sarcastic.
I have it loaded on another computer and using vista and firefox and it seems much better. The stripe pattern on the other machine tiled incorrectly and was very thick(it felt like a background image was not loading). It looks much better now.
As far as the ads, they stayed the same even when I clicked other pages. Hitting f5 they would change. The ads change automatically on page updates in the vista/firefox system.
It definitely seems to work better under this computer. I will try running in 'compatibility mode' on the other. (It is not mine, so I have to use what is installed).
