New look

I like the new look and so far everything is working, you will find the profile settings and others under User Control Panel. Thank you for all the hard work.

After living with the new look for several days I have to make additional comments.

I absolutely love the new search settings. Look in posts, topics or first post of the topic. This by far will help me the most. Seems like I am always searching for something specific. This by far is the best upgrade IMHO

Easier to get to the text colors & smilies.

For the smilies, I wish you put all of them on one page. Beats surfing through 8 pages to find the one you want.

All in all. Good job! [smilie=eek.gif]

The old board opened links in new tabs, this one doesn't, I couldn't see any profile settings to change it. I haven't changed browser settings (Safari) but now when I close a followed link I realize I've closed the forum. Anyone else seen this behaviour?

I am using safari as well and I just tried a link. The link opened in the same tab. I could go back to the forum but If I closed the tab, the forum was gone too. It would be nice to have a link open in a new tab so the originating page would still be where you left it.

I can't imagine it would be too hard to change back to opening links in a new window/tab.
I'll look into it when I get a chance.

As for active topics not displaying any posts - I'll need to check the search criteria that this uses to make sense of it.

Thanks for working on the active topics issue. The kawi2stroke site uses this software and they are about to upgrade their software to a new version. Their site has not been sending out email notices but this site has sent me a PM email notice as well as a reply notice today. Good job :smt001

Sweet Hybrid, thanks for that, I'm too old to learn new tricks. Also noticed the owners group logo at top right doesn't link to the home page (picky bastards eh?).

The 500 logo used to link to the main website page? That one is easy to fix.
