Is there any way to have either lines between individual posts or perhaps alternate background colors. The posts seem to run together to me now. Also the front page used to have a list of the most recent posts can we show that again?
Other than that looks great, Thanks for all you do!!
Merry Christmas All.
There are alternate colors between posts. I may play with the colors to make the change more dramatic.
The front page will be non functional until there is a plugin created for this new software.

Once again, the latest discussion box on the front page is NON FUNCTIONAL.
When I can get it working again, I will.

How about smaller Avatars,so that you can read what people wrote?

Most people's avatars are the exact same size they were. Perhaps you need a bigger screen.

Most of them are fine. Some go 1 inch or more into their typed message.

Rose colored glasses dude...theirs are both bigger than yours...
Last I heard, JT was on AOL, so I can't argue with the 'get a real browser' thing, but as of 20:20 on 12/27/2007 I still see the two aforementioned avatars bigger than normal and covering up text. I see such in MSIE 6sp2 and Opera 9.24

I've only seen a couple issues personally other than the avatar thing -
1) It seems pretty resource hungry. I think it's all the animation - I can browse through just fine for a while, but when I open some threads, particularly when they have a flashy google adsense animation, it brings my browser to a crawl. I'm running an Athlon XP3000+ with a gig of dual channel 400 and a 512MB 7800GS video card, so if the bling bling is slowin me down with that video card, I gotta imagine others are havin issues??? Might not be the bling bling, but my browser gets pretty choppy and it seems to coincide with a bunch of smilies and google ads with relatively high framerates etc. I can live with it but definitely not as smooth to look at as the old one.
2) Worst thing for me is that the new design is pretty much useless on my windows mobile 5 cell/PDA - anyone else view the new forums successfully form yer smartphone or PDA? I'm using the AT&T 8525, and I know they (AT&T aka Cingular aka the new AT&T) partially hijacked java VM on some of the PDA's, including mine, but most or all of the content seems to be there; it's just all scattered about the page and a lot of content appears overlaid on other content. It looks like relative framesets or DIV tags are adjusting to the viewable part of the screen and inserting line breaks inappropriately. I still get the left/right scroll bar, but ALL the content appears on the horizontal portion of the screen that's visible when I log in all on top of each other - if I scroll right I see white space, like the body size is correct but the divs/frames/tables whatevah are using the visible screen property for relativity instead of the body width. Wasn't able to photograph it from my camera phone for obvious reasons, but I'll post a pic if I end up with a digi cam, cell phone and PC all in the same room at the same time.
I'm sure Windows mobile wasn't and isn't a primary concern, but I do a good percentage of my reading and catching up from the PDA on the rare occasions that I have a few minutes of down time at work and in the truck on the way to the Gulf when I ain't drivin.
