Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms.

That's what I get when I click your link.
Why did we need this change again?

Because software upgrades are not something we can ignore. They release these for security reasons and to keep up with the changes in browsers. Of course, there are always hiccups when upgrading a board with so many add-ons, posts and threads.

I'm having problems again with new posts. Again getting all forums and having to pick through.

I'm looking into this but might not have an answer immediately. But keep an eye on this for me - up at the top of the board, just beneath the welcome area, it should tell you there how many unread posts by you there are. It should be that number I guess + whatever posts you did read, when you click new posts. Let me know the differences you see.

Trust me, this is frustrating for me too. I would have loved to have been able to upgrade on the side and convert everyone over when the hiccups were cleared up, but unfortunately you can't start messing with the forum until after the upgrade has been completed. Give it a week or so and we should have all the kinks ironed out, new options installed and a color scheme easier on all of our eyes.

I'm sure it will all work out.

Ok, I just installed a new "style" with what I think is a better color scheme. Temporarily, I just put the text for the name of the site, but will probably put a small image in its place if we stay with this one.

Also, at the very bottom of the board on the left side you will see a drop down box where you can choose between this one and the default style. Might be useful to some for comparison reasons.

Anyway, give me some more feedback!

Ok, I think I made this one the same as I changed the default one to.

I like it ... Just think it'll take some time to learn my way around things, but I hope you can customize it enough that it doesn't look like all the other boards....

Thanks for staying on top of things Jim.

ughh......can I have options as soon as possible, this eloquent blue one really sucks.....

I like the blue border. not as much glaring white. thanks.

[BoogyMan]

It is looking pretty spiffy if you ask me.

I'd like to keep a clean, smooth and non-cluttered appearance. Just softer colors for easy on the eyes and reading. I'd just like to make sure the logo is identifiable to this site.

You suck! LOL just kidding!

Temporarily - click on "forum actions" on the top navbar and choose "general settings". At the bottom of that page you will see an option to choose a default style. You can use the first style if you don't like this one. I'm going to add more if I find good ones and give you a choice to your default, and make the overall default the one we like best. But it was $175 for vB software, and believe it or not it was another $29 for this blue style. I'll be adding free styles too but they generally aren't very great.

Everyone else, keep the feedback coming so I can make changes!!
