You've done a tremendous amount of work combining things and trying to answer repeated questions. Thank you for that.

new plug-ins?

I am not young, and since I no longer use my computer for my business (retired) I do not want to change my operating system and lose some functionality for old files.
I realize technology moves on but it should not just write off groups of people, or make them spend money they may not have...I am Mac based so I understand I may face challenges others do not, with a PC.

Patrice, I tried a few tests and this is what I'm finding. If I click on New Posts (which is what I usually do when I'm on the board), none of the threads I previously opened and read are unbolded (showing as "read"). If I go directly to a specific forum, some of the previous read threads are unbolded but many are not. I've read everything I can find on here and gone to the User CP to see if I can change something to resolve this problem and not add to your long list of issues, but can't find anything.
Hang in there. It can only get better from here. :-)

For those of us not living it technology loaded areas - please do not change this. I am sure that I am not the only one who has had problems like this. If you go back to the previous way - please - limit the size of uploaded images.

I guess this new format is using a more secure site or something because it keeps booting me out and I have to sign in when I navigate around. Also, everything is piled up on the left with lots of open space on the right. I liked it better with a wider view. I can't quite decide if it's the font, the colour scheme, or what but this is much harder to read.
Please know, I am okay with change if it makes things better. Waiting for the improvements to show up. What kinds of things can we expect that are better with this new format?
