I guess it was the use of the word, "negative", in your response that made me feel like it was directed toward me.

As a person who works in IT and helps decide on the configuration of new PC software (Ghost) images, I am fully aware of the aggravation of trying to make everyone happy with changes. I don't envy anyone in that position. So, perhaps I should have been "nicer" instead of "blunt".

Thanks, Fyron, for reminding me that I may be a bit guilty of the same things I get upset at "my" Users for doing. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

To be brutally honest i did prefer the old forum on practically every account on a personal Opinion and would have rather they hadn't changed it.

But I recognise that Richard and Shrapnel upgraded to provide us with a better community and have put a lot of dam work in to it. Sure i might have preferred the old forum but i certainly am very grateful that the people at shrapnel put this much effort into improving these Boards and creating a better community.

So although I don't particularly like this upgrade I'll get used to it (with some editing to make it more firefox friendly http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif) and I am thankful of Richards and all those involved efforts in this to provide and upgrade this community http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif I'm sure most here are as well.

Actually I am viewing it in Firefox now to see what it looks like. I haven't had a chance to try any of the new open source browsers since I used to use Opera.

I don't see any 'Post Reply' buttons not attached to specific Posts. Can't we post a 'general' reply in a thread anymore without directing it to a specific previous post?

I believe that to do so, in a threaded message board, you must reply to the post that started the topic.

Have any font changes been made? I logged in tonight (using Firefox, which I have used for a while now), and the font size is much smaller (and nicer to read) than it was when I signed in this morning. The smaller font is great for my 20/20 eyes at 1024x768. I'm just a little curious.

There's a new config feature in your MyHome that will allow you to choose how Posts are shown in showflat (ie Newest or Oldest First).

The right order has returned! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/smirk.gif

Thanks Richard, and thanks for making it look more firefox friendly http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Yes, thank you Richard for all your work in making everyone happy. The option of chosing which post displays first is a great feature and I official love the new forums. Having everything display in Firefox better now makes the formatting issue not so noticable. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif Thanks again!
