We have now had a week of Beta testing and I would like to thank you for your feedback and support.

I do intend to make a few more small changes mostly adding extra text to make things clearer.

You may have noticed that at the top of the forum did have a link which said "Write a New Post" and it now says "Start a New Thread" which reflects what it really does.

I think you have done a great job! I am very grateful for all your efforts, Thank you!

Frankly, all I care about is changes are made so that Martin and Peter and Jeff et al get back to being regular contributors to the forum.

Ditto. Any successful forum needs core contributors as a backbone to a healthy forum. 

Excellent work Keith. Once you've understood the difference between 'passed' and 'past' you'll be damn near perfect😈

Totally agree with the above, its impossible to make a forum perfect for everyone, but you nearly did it Keith, and we will continue to post suggestions and ideas.

This forum is pretty funky IMO. I, like many resist change, but lets be honest... We all get use to it in the end and normally end up preferring the changes so I say chuck out the old and bring in the new all ready :)

 

One question, maybe a suggestion as well.... When I want to reply to a thread, and not the previous poster, does the nearest quick reply achieve this or do I have to go back to the original post on page 1? Never quite understood this on the last forum... If the latter, could you not have a post to thread button...? at the bottom the current page?

I really like it, but I would like a thread to be more clearly "marked" and differ from the background. Also the responses sort of blend into one another.

Congratulations and well done Keith, I can tell that  it has been a lot of work.

However, other than the posting problems, I still preferred the old , more professional appearance and format.

I'm a bit of a dinosaur in waiting. Not quite extinct but well on the way.

Of course I will use the forum in the future and will most likely get used to it!

The small changes to the identity panel have improved the appearanceand and the speed of the whole thing has improved out of all recognition.

Square the corners of the box and make the frame a slightly darker shade of blue???
