Gold star for you, Malcolm - you've clearly been busy. Being an old fart the changes will take some getting used to but the board looks a lot brighter.
Presuming old PMs won't be restored
Nay worries though, sure there was not anything there I can't live without.Get a good sleep! Ta for all your hard work Malcolm
- that definitely derserves 3 gold stars.

Great job with the switch Malcom!
Hate to give you more work to do, but most of the introduction posts are MIA *cough* including mine *cough*. Any info on if those are going to be transfered?
Thanks

Though it looks like a lot of the intro threads have disappeared, which is sad. But that's okay (for now, bwahaha), cause Malcolm's working hard and I appreciate it and love him for doing it!

All I gotta say is...
It's about damn time! The old board was... nice. But it was too basic and lacking style. Good work Malcolm!

Kudos to Malcolm...good job! Many nice improvements!
I too miss the active topics link. Might there be some way to collapse the threads on the active topics for 24 or 48 hours? This might give the same thing as the old link.

OK, first off, thanks Malcolm for putting in the hours.
I have a very slight niggle, though. My registered email address had a + sign in it, (which is legal RFC2822, yadda yadda), and your new profile editor thingy doesn't let me use it anymore. Is it possible that when you next do updates you can be a bit more flexible about what constitutes a "valid email address".
Other than that, a bit of a shock looking at it for the first time, but it's definitely growing on me.

At the bottom of the main index page there is a box with:
View recent messages
Past 24 hours
Past 48 hours
Past 7 days
That what you're looking for?

Oh joy! Avatars! I'm very impressed, Malcom, as a fellow webmaster I know the trials of changing everything, though could never even fathom something of this scale. Bravo, and so far I don't have any troubles with the changes.

That's what I was referring to in my post, yes. Is there some way that we could collapse those threads instead of seeing each individual response? Maybe I haven't figured out how to do that yet with all the new options. Thanks for trying to help Dragen.
