Switched to NT8 the second I could which was the second wave of beta testers. Head and shoulders night and day difference from NT7. Not even fair to compare them. Think horse and buggy and modern vehicle. Yes you can still get where you are going with the former but the latter does everything so much better faster etc.
For a poll click on "Thread tools". Not sure if you have to be an Elite member or not..... @Big Mike, please is this the case? Thank you.

I am straddling at the moment - I have not yet fully committed to leaving NT7 but I now try to spend most of my time on NT8.
This is not without frustration though. I have complained a few times of various errors/bugs/instability issues which I would not expect of a General Release version, and certainly are not present on NT7.
I think TheWizard is right, you need to activate the Poll option when you start a new thread

Please what kind of issues are you finding in NT8?
Other than old workspaces which I recreate and all is fine again I really don't have much in the way of issues and I run NT8 ~23.75 hours a day save for doing a backup and rebooting trade machine during the week. Last issue I had was for the default Alerts I set up. I used the email share twice for sending an email to me and the other instance to send me a text message through Sprint my cell phone carrier because I get those right away. The email address service with my cell number for a text message. NT8 doesn't seem to like it when I use the same share service twice like that and it keep throwing an exception. So I switched to a twitter acct for the instant notification and email combo and it now works fine. This was back on Jan 24 2017 and I have not tested this again so maybe it was addressed.
I sent a video regarding this but got a bad Ninja rep that never did anything about it. So I have to workup the energy to see it through, hammering away at them with videos etc. @NinjaTrader
Are you running any beta software please? Any antivirus software?

Date/time for Market Replay disappeared. NT support couldn't figure that one out so I had to reinstall to fix
Again Market Replay behaves erratically when I'm using Jigsaw DOM. I need to contact them about this.
Some odd issues with Strategy Builder: you want to build a simple condition such as Close[0]>Open[0] and yet, when you save it, you get some strange DefaultInput keyword that does not make sense. (see attached pic)
Yet, when you look at the code, the code is right. Plus, the issue is not always present.
The NT support person insists this behavior is by design but it's unlikely to be the case, I think it's a cop-out.
I do have an Antivirus product but I don't believe it impacts any of these issues.
Worth adding that having a quad core processor is highly recommended. My problems with memory leaks and workspaces virtually disappeared when I upgraded from an i5 to the latest i7 (and the memory usage even when all is running normally is actually smaller with the i7).
