Just upgraded to Windows 8.1 from 7.... I guess we have to make a new account here rather than use our Windows 7 forum account? Shame really as I had a lot of rep and friends there.

Welcome to Windows EightForums, Simba. It's good to have you aboard.

Do you mean your badges carrying over from 7F?

And not getting notifications for new posts as well.

That setting would be in your CP I believe.

I checked for that, even sent a mail to Brink. We get notifications in Seven and Nine forums. But not here

Forums > Software and Apps is the only thread I could think of to look through.

Are you able to find your way around pretty well now?
