You probably have the login bug. No ETA on fix but they know about it.
In other news, they blocked all access to the inbox until the PMs are fixed. Basically it's broke as *censored* so they just turned it off lol.

They destroyed the build directory. If anyone has builds they want added/re-added, let me know.

I did finally get in; but, well; I really hate this new look. I can't see what was posted in each category without going all the way in to have a look at each one, instead of being able to see that from the main legend. Is there anyway to change that?

New forums are an eyesore. Compare ARC fugly boards to the Marvel Heroes forums. And MH boards also are ran on Vanilla.

So it looks like PWE isn't hosting the forums themselves and the Arc page is just a wrapper. You can access the forums from perfectworld.vanillaforums.com/ which some users are saying work much better for them than trying to use the Arc wrapper. I don't really notice a difference, so YMMV.

Oof, you know what the worst part of the new boards is? It takes like 4 click-throughs of categories to get to the news section, and there isn't even a preview anymore of what thread is active/new. They could now do release notes or announcements and unless you actively visit that board daily you'd literally have no idea.
My god, I could eat a bunch of design elements and poop out a better UI. This is the kind of design I'd expect to see on a bbs in the 90s.

And it's completely PWE's fault that it looks that bad. Check out the Star Citizen forums: forums.robertsspaceindustries.com/Those are Vanilla forums. Look how nice it is. Look how things actually work there. I didn't quite realize how bad the PWE Vanilla forums were until someone posted that in the STO section. So it's not Vanilla that's at fault, it's all on PWE.

Even using that link you provided; I still can't see what was posted recently without going into every, single sub-forum, and scanning over everything, it's terrible, and very hard to read.

Oh, yeah, I've got a ship in star citizen. It's a night and day difference.
Sidenote: if you're effected by that bug, I'ma go ahead and suggest that you just make a new user name like I did. Remember when they "reserved" our forum names for us, then lost them all? Yeah, how did that get resolved again? Oh, right. It didn't.

On the plus side... I noticed that they placed a link to the wiki on CO's page in Arc. I'm guessing that was there before, but I never noticed it...

Looks like the regulars have settled in and we're all back to fighting over stupid things that ultimately don't matter. At least on the STO side anyway.

I don't think even they knew what a mess the New Forums are.... Or...They are the only ones who were/are exited and don't really know the meaning of 'slick'...

I can't tell if they're back to bickering or not, haha; it's so difficult to find anything with this new setup.

This new design is painful to look at, and even more painful to use.
