Version 2.0 on the forums...changelog here.

Now I can’t see which forum has threads with messages that I haven’t read, and I can’t see in each one which threads they are......is there something I manually have to change?

Don’t like the new look at all.  Very confusing.

I don’t know about you CM, buy my one still shows me where there are new topics. It just says it with words, rather than pictures.

I’m not a huge fan of the new look. It feels like image and style have been stripped right back to basics, like late 20th century. Retro, man. But then I’m not paying for it, and smileys are back :-)

Oh, and we have the ‘ignore member’ function as well now? Methinks poor Rapid’s puns are suddenly going to start going unnoticed :-P

So this is what JimK squandered $12k on.

It’s working for me now. I was on when JimK was doing the upgrade, so maybe not all the festures were working immediately.
Sweet.

Yeah I don’t like this font - it’s too faint, not bold enough. Too hard to read large chunks.

Put me down in the ‘do not like’ category.  But it aint my site, I’ll deal with it.

It seems a little strange that it doesn’t actually say “Moorewatch Forums” anywhere, except on the banner of the window itself.

And on that subject, it seems a little strange that there is no obvious link from the main site to the forums and vice-versa.  I quite like that there aren’t that many people here, because the familiarity of all the members to each other tends to elevate the content.  Still, I was looking at the members list, and I’m basically the only new member with more than about 300 posts in the last year.  And I only found it through CM.  It seems this forum is just about impossible to find.

I’m cool with the new look.  And I appreciate the effort, Jim.  Cheers.

I love it, if not just to oppose all the haters. 

Thanks Jim, I appreciate the update and know that any time you are spending on this site is taking time away from your wife, that in itself (after seeing pictures of Donna) is a task worth appreciating.

Oh but I do agree with the comment about getting to the forums faster than just the “Discuss in the forums” link in the threads.  Oh well. 

WAIT>>>>> I just found the changing the colors/skin thingy at the bottom.  I LOVE IT.  I love it.  Excellent job JimK.

Thanks, Bluesamba, I’ve changed the colour now too.  And it now says Moorewatch Forums at the top.  Bravo.

I am still trying them all out.  Let me say that “Developer” is my least favorite.  I am not sure about “Shares” but enjoy “Blue” and “Default” which is mostly just the way it was.  Yeah I like that it says “Forums” at the top too.

JimK, I know that this is just a little thing but maybe, if you can find the time could you do us a favor.  On the “Grey” skin the links at the top of the page include “Home” which takes you to the main page.  As far as I can tell that is the only skin that has that link.  If you could get that link on the other skins that would be great.

(After typing that would be great all I can think is....  So Yeah, I’m gonna need you to come in this Saturday, oh and Sunday too.  That would be great.)

Good find!  Now I’m back to normal.  “Default” isn’t actually default, but when set to that it’s the “normal” way.

Cool.

Damn good find Blues.  Thanks much.  Keep up the great work Jim!  Pics of his wife?  Where?!?

Nope, fixed. Cheers. Now if I can only remember what I posted......
