As you are probably now aware, we have implemented a new discussion forum format that fits in better with the web site design.
All prior forum threads have been moved over and are available. The old links to them even work (so you can still find information on Google and other search engines).
We have added a few features with regards to formatting. These are available under settings.
Please reply to this thread with your comments and suggestions.
Thanks, Jon
Like the new format/colors. Would like to see the Thread menu (Next Thread | Thread List | ,etc) repeated at the bottom of the thread. Being very lazy, I hate to scroll back to the top of a long thread. Did the past format show the thread message in the reply page? I don't remember having the message displayed. I like the feature old or new. Bradford

Seconded. Arguably, the Next/Previous buttons are more important at the bottom end than at the top.
Did the past format show the thread message in the reply page?
FWIW, it did. But unlike the new format, it showed it below the input window. So if you never scrolled all the way down before starting to type, you may never have noticed it.
And BTW: I think it's a good think that the software now forces a preview before you can post. Avoids nasty typos like the usual mismatched HTML tags.

That feature was there in the previous version of the forum. I'll add it back next week.
