A few bugs you are probably aware of, but I'll just point out anyway:
* when comments are first posted, the default avatar w/ white belt appears w/ comment (avatar appearing on right-hand side). Problem self-corrects after a fresh page load.
* we cannot view who has voted an answer helpful/unhelpful
* my page view count is sill wackadoodle. Every few page views I earn a "point" for reaching my "380th page view" or "400th page view for the day". I'm just not that active.
Thanks!

Unfortunately.. Looks like I'll be in the "waiting it out" group
... and I did notice this morning I had 15 LESS points than I had yesterday.. Boo!
I can assure you I will be properly excited when everything is finished!
Thanks, and Good Luck!

I've got a "missing" data bug for you now. For this question:
http://www.mahalo.com/answers/science-and-mathematics/how-much-would-2-000-a6-400gsm-postcards-weigh
Only one answer shows on the page, although there are 2. The RSS feed does have both answers. Odd.

I mean, this is (for the most part) a completely free site where folks chat and answer questions. For everyone to work so hard on the points issue and the other Mahalo Answers bugs while Mahalo 2.0 is released is truly outstanding.
Really... this great stuff.

Looks like things are starting to come together.
I love the new look and the ability to manage pages.
Still a few missing answers though.
I remember answering this one before it was thoroughly answered by others:
http://www.mahalo.com/answers/software/how-can-i-move-data-between-two-tables-in-microsoft-access-2007
Keep up the good work!
Now about those "502 Bad Gateway" for usernames with spaces.. :)

I've noticed that, when you look at questions on the main Answers pages, some show "0" answers - then you open them, and there's at least one answer. I tried refreshing the main Answers pages, but it's still happening. Check out I'm New To This Site..How Do I Earn Mahalo Dollars?" for an example of what I mean. (Right now, one person's answered the question but, from the main page, it appears that nobody's answered yet.)

Any ideas?

1. Still have 2 different profiles. One comes up when I login via Mahalo, the other via Mahalo Answers (this login usually doesn't work at all, and when it does work it quickly logs out or switches to the other profile). All activity (answers, pages, avatar change, etc.) from 6/2 and 6/3 show up on one profile or the other, but not both.
2. When logged in under the "Mahalo Answers" profile, questions from 6/3 and 6/4 don't show up, and it looks like I can only answer questions when logged in using the "Mahalo" profile.
It looks like I somehow had two accessible profiles during the transition, and that the "Mahalo" profile (which was originally the profile with the missing points that everyone else noticed) is now the one I should be using. Can the work I did under the other profile be credited to the correct profile?

Getting better each day - still a little bumpy - I am patient, but will mention what I've experienced from my end a few items - these may have been reported (I've been following the threads, and I know some of these are known).
MA
1. I've logged in every day on MA and Mahalo - claimed pages on Mahalo and voted on MA - but MA does not show my voting activity. I've not been focusing on answering questions on MA during this time - been spending my Mahalo time on Mahalo 2.0, but have answered a few 2.0 questions on MA. I will get back to MA once the 'bugs' are all run out of town.
2. Known issues with avatars and comments still happening.
4. Known - Yesterday site was sluggish and kicked me out many times.
5. NOTE - I just got kicked out trying to submit this answer (fyi - I use Firefox and Safari at various times - both have had same issues).
Mahalo
1. I've claimed and begun updating/managing pages but have lost information a number of times - so at this point I'll await confirmation that the environment is stable before attempting to save additional work.
2. Known issues with 'being logged out' all of a sudden when you attempt to claim a page and needing to log back in.
I'm looking forward to contributing too the Mahalo search engine - but just don't have the extra time to re input my work until things are ready.
Thanks Mahalo team, we're all behind you :)

Announcement: Profile Points Restored
I am happy to announce that the devs have cracked the code and restored your points and tips. If you don't see any changed immediately don't worry it's just a cache issue now and the changes should be noticeable soon. If you don't see any changes within 24hrs at that point let us know by sending an email to contact@mahalo.com and we'll work with you on an individual basis.
Otherwise, if you notice any other bugs from the Mahalo Answers side of the website let us know in this thread. We are already aware of the left aligned comments, it's somewhere on the list already. Any others?
As always, we greatly appreciate all your patience during this transition, if you've taken a break from MA because of point conflicts it should be safe to return. Welcome Back!

I was on the same boat, I didn't care about the points & M$, I was more worried about where my questions and answers were.

I've noticed the avatar bug in one specific instance. After I post a comment, the avatar will be the default until I refresh the page, after which the comment will have my usual one. Hope that helps narrow it down.

What has also been driving me nuts is issues with the profile page. I don't know if this is a bug or a style change, but it is annoying nonetheless:
1. There is no tab for questions. Why? I know that they are in the answers tab. But why?
2. If I am looking at my past answers, I need to do the following:
(a) click on the answers tab
(b) click on answers, because questions come up first
(c) click on the answer in question.
3. After viewing the question, I hit the back button on my browser and I go back to the main page of my profile not back to where I was at which point I have to go through the entire process again if I want to look at another question.

Great job you guys are really on top of things. I am also having a problem with some how losing my login. Am I the only one having this problem? I use firefox if that matters. I've been messing around with creating a page and all of a sudden it will start saying permission denied and sure enough I've been logged out. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Just an update.I have not been returned to the pre2.0 totals. I also just answered a question and it did not register in the totals(still says 0 answers) and nor has it been registered in my profile
It was fair to choose no best answer
This was not a question. However it was a helpful discussion.

I'm in the same boat as warepspeed...lots of promises from Mahalo customer service, and a nice note from the CTO apologizing for problems encountered, but no resolution or timetable for resolution.
Please manage expectations better, Mahalo
