    I happen to like the new layout with a few small exceptions. I now have to click on forums before I can click on "new posts" or "quick links" to get to my subscribed threads. Maybe I just don't know where they are the rest of the time, but I liked being able to find things like that on every page I had opened. Anyone else share this thought, or can advise where I missed that stuff on the new layout? I am not trying to complain by any means. I know some people put some very hard work in to this and I, for one, do appreciate it. I believe the bevel is set, and the blade is sharp, the edge just needs a good finishing hone, metaphorically speaking.

    Edit: I now spent a few nimutes in the new layout, and dont think that it is all that bad to have to click forums first to get to new posts. I just need to get used to not being able to do it right from my bookmarked spot. Maybe I will change my book mark to the forums page...

    I like the new set-up. Thanks to those men behind the curtain that make everything run smoothly. The one thing I have noticed though in some of the thread posts is that the member's stats (ie join date, location, posts, etc) bleed over into the post. See post above as an example. Not really bothersome in short post, but can be distracting in longer ones.

    You need to use PNG image, not GIF, the internet is evolving even if slowly.

    That may not come back soon if ever. It's a third party plugin and we don't have the resources to do much fixing, plus it seems like a low priority compared to other issues.

    Those may change, it's fairly easy to do, so may be some other dev/mod has the inclination, I personally don't have the time for it.

    I hate change, but nothing seems overly complicated. What was wrong with the old forum? I think that the site was 1000x better than the other main SR forum. Thanks for taking the time to improving the site!

    I overall like the new format, it looks clean and polished, almost like SRP went from XP to OSX . One thing is that I can't seem to find my subscribed threads anymore. I'm trying to find posts on threads that I have posted on. Can anybody help me out?

    If you go to 'settings' they're on the left sidebar:

    The search index needs to be rebuilt completely since it starts from the oldest posts, and all of yours are from March. Check tomorrow afternoon. Here's a quick way to access them:

    I guess nothing really important to you, but a lot of stuff for me We all have personal preferences, some people still prefer the srp yahoo group

    I went away to Las Vegas on Monday and came back to "holy crap batman!". Reminds me of changing to a new operating system as mentioned above...knew where everything else was & what it looked like...now have to think a bit or find something that may have been moved a couple of inches. I'm sure that it's all there, I just have to use a little gray matter again.

    Thanks for all the hard work put into keeping things up to date even if I'm a bit outdated myself!
