It took me a while to figure out that "User CP" in "Forums" was the profile modifier. IMHO you should have "Profile" on the main heading right next to "Shoot-outs", "Reviews", "Products", etc. The reason being that User CP effects how you experience this sight beyond just the Forum area. Even when you get to Forums "User CP" is not exactly user-friendly to the I-can't-change-my-oil-without-scraping-my-knuckles crowd (of which I am a life long member). User Cycle Power? User Cam Pulleys? User Costco Pride? User C*ck Protection? User Cylinder Performance?
You see where I'm going with this...

One more item, not sure if this is the responsibility of MO or not. My homepage is my.yahoo. I am able to select motorcycle.com as one of the news headline sources along with LA Times, Reuters, Big Booty Babes, etc.
Since the change, it is asking me for a network login. When I input my MO login, I am redirected to Basketball Forum - NBA & College Basketball Forums which, strangely enough is a basketball forum. Being a Celtics fan, I can do without a constant reminder that we haven't won the championship since 1986 when I was arrested for D&D at the rally in City Hall Plaza. But I digress...
I think the issue is that the Motorcycle.com link is Basketball Forum - NBA & College Basketball Forums. If you or Yahoo can change that we should be good to go. End users like me cannot do that as far as I can tell.

AHA! I printed the URL <news2.motorcycle.com>, but the sight name is showing up in the forum thread.One more item, not sure if this is the responsibility of MO or not. My homepage is my.yahoo.

Quick Reply button does not work.
I have one more suggestion. I think you should have the user's handle displayed more conspicuously when you are logged in. If you elect to login automatically (remember me/this computer) and you run into problems getting around - or even if you don't - it's hard to tell if you are logged in. I say put "You are logged in as XXXX" on the red line directly below Motorcyle.com.
And I'm still getting broken links to the manufacturers

There are way too many broken links. I don't know if you guys are constantly makeing real time changes to production, but there's a lot of bad links that are different day to day. And I'm using a standard Wintel box with the latest IE browser.
www.motorcycle.com comes up but with the formatting all skewed to the left - even after refresh.
<<http://www.motorcycle.com/index.html>> is a dead link, which is what you get when you click on the masthead.
Other dead links on the main page: Products, aprilia, triumph, ktm, suzuki, and honda.

Arrgh, see it's even frustrating that I can't write down the link without it getting stripped.
And I agree with a lot of other people. The forum is worse than before. You don't have to be old and feeble to have a hard time getting around anymore. There are way too many categories and sub categories. You don't even need the subcategories unless you're expecting the readership to increase 4000%.
Display modes doesn't work.
Jesus I'm going to have to start working now. Thanks for nothin MO!

There's no SEARCH function in any section other than the Forums. If I wanted to lookup "Dainese" to see if you reviewed a jacket, for example, I'd be screwed. All that wonderful content and no way to access it...
I seem to have less problems at home (Mac G5/ OS X/ Safari/ cable modem)than I do at work (WinTel box through a Barracuda network filter - probably the culprit). But who's got time when they're home - that's when I'm busy.
Honestly, I am so frustrated trying to get from point A to point B I may just come back in a few weeks and see if things are any better then.
