I like the more calmed down colors, thank you Admin :D

Will everything (the posts/threads) that is "old" transfer over to the "new"?

Well, like many others here, the change brings mixed reviews from me as well. I'm sure, that with time, I will adjust to the new look but right now the print jumps of the screen at me. I might follow Patrice's lead and re-size things but that won't change the 70's feel.

Why are the signatures right aligned?

I like the reply and quote reply buttons.

While you're changing things around, can we have a link at the bottom of the page for "return to top"? I like having the next/previous page available at both the top and bottom of the thread, but would like to be able to jump back to the top with a single mouse click rather than control-home.

I love the look. It is easier to read.

I am one who does not like the new style. It does not look as professional to me. The colors are cheezy, (like, how many of us make aqua and baby pink quilts!!??) the type looks too large, like in a chat room type text. The layout is just something we have to get used to, but I don't think that it "flows" like the current format does. I understand that for database changes we need to upgrade at times, but this one looks like a downgrade to me. Sorry, Admin, I love it here, and really appreciate all your work. Especially for a FREE board.

I tried that long password three times and it won't let me in!

I miss the next and previous down by the page numbers
Other than that it will just take time to get adjusted :wink: I didn't spend a lot of time playing though

I'll add that eventually.

But I have to say that I'm going to set a limit on pm's. Something around 200 in inbox and the same in the sent box. It's not happening now, but in the near future old messages are going to be automatically deleted.
Can you let us know, give us a heads up as to WHEN you will be doing this so we can hurry in and get out PMs that we might want to save??

Yes. I'll run an announcement about it.
