Do you have to pay for this site Seeker?
If so, I will totally donate!
I love this place!

When the new forum appeared, my heart flew into my stomach, I thought the forum was GONE!! eek!!!!!!
So thankful for it.

No it is still free. The idea is that to remove the ads, one pays $5 a month but if you use firefox you can get the add-on Adblock Plus that takes care of the ads.

I looked at the admin side briefly and there do not appear to be options to make it look like the old forum, seems the smilies are screwed up too.

I was hoping the upgrade would be WYSIWYG allowing for bold italics etc. from common shortcuts such as ctrl+b and ctrl+i, sadly we seem to have even less edit features. IIRC the theme I chose gave us all the extras.

At the top of where the boards start, there are links, * View unanswered posts • View new posts • View active topics.

Busy with a kitchen now so I will look into the admin features and see what we can do to improve the look and feel - be patient.

Regards

Looks like you will need to reload your avatars from the user control panel.

Well the smilies are screwed up, it will take time to get them all back again, have to re upload them and reassign, it will take time, got the favorites back for now.
