After the initial shock of finding everything Blue on Blue, suddenly everything became plain and clear - thank goodness. (I have difficulty distinguishing those single colour 'pages' and I have perfect colour vision.)
The new version still has that welcoming feel and the improvements and additions are both welcome and useful.
We all own the administration team our gratitude for their time and financial support of the Forum. Although the Forum would not function without the input of those that give technical support and help, it is the considerable time and effort of the 'backroom' staff that allows this to happen on a daily basis.
Just felt that our gratitude should be recorded |

I second that - Thanks Henry and Margaret!

P.S. I see the forum as orange on white - not blue on blue. How come the difference? |

I thought for a moment that the colors were always there but I didn't notice them until I had my catatract surgery last week! ;>) I like the new format. Harlee |

The blue colour was there at some point early in the initial set up, when I looked in. I guess the software allows you to choose the colour of the fields. |

We are trying to keep everything as simple and like the old forum as possible. Let us know if anything isn't working out right. Or if anything needs polishing or improvement.

looks super!
Any way to have it permanently remember my username and password instead of keying it in for each post? |

Hi Mike,
Log into your profile by clicking on "Profile" link on the top of the page in the orange outlined box. There is a "Preferences" section where you can ask it to "Remember my username and password in a cookie" and it'll store your login information into a browser cookie so you don't need to enter the info every time.
I'd also recommend selecting "Clear the cookie when I exit my browser" so it'll delete the cookie once you exit the browser. If you're on a public computer, you don't want people using your account. |

Mike,
Check your browser settings. It should be able to save them for you. I use Mozilla and it does.
