Thanks Eve... I'm glad you like it!

Is there any way to make new posts (i.e., since a person's last visit) to stand out? I think on the old forum the word "New" appeared in red next to new posts.

Something like this does happen if you register and log in... It keeps track of your last visit, and the new posts have a "box" next to them in a "red/orange" color, so it's easy to spot!

I'm not sure if I can do this when you don't log in, though... If I do find out, though, I'll activate it.

However, if you haven't registered, please do - not all the "boxes" need to be filled in, only a couple are "required". Being registered allows you to use a whole bunch of various features (like emailing others for example).

Thanks for your question, Eve...

Cheers,

Dien

Good, I'll try that, Dien. I had registered previously (to vote on the forum look, of course!) but it didn't occur to me to log in just to read the posts. Thanks!

Dien, for some reason the forum doesn't like to maintain the hybrid version...it keeps reverting back to one of the others. I wouldn't mind so much except I hate having to go in and out, back and forth, in order to read the next post in a thread.

Much prefer to have the posts follow each other in logical sequence so it's easier to maintain the gist of things instead of being distracted by in and out of the thread movements.

Otherwise, I think you've done a great job with this new forum. It still seems a bit impersonal and cold but maybe that will change over time. Couldn't be the colors, could it? Just wondering.

Keep up the great job!
