- I had trouble logging in after the forum change. I had to request a temporary password because it wouldn't accept my old one. No-one else seems to have had this trouble so I guess it's just me.

I first had trouble logging on, too. It seems that your password is now case-sensitive, AND the case it uses may not be the same as before.

My password used to begin with a capital letter and it didn't work. So, after many attempts, I tried using lower case, and it worked. So you might want to try different upper case / lower case combinations in your password.

I just wanted to say Richard, thanks for all the hard work you and your team have obviously put into the Forum upgrades. I know that some people don't like some of the results (myself included), but I do know that we ALL greatly appreciate the time and effort that you've put into this, trying to make the Forums a more welcoming and pleasing place. Thanks a lot.

I second this!

I agree. Like anything new it takes getting used to. And when it is time once again to change things we will all still make the same complaints that we did this Last time.

I love the sig file. Great imagery.

Yep, switch to Firefox. For some stupid reason the text is much bigger in that browser.

On a more serious note, most browsers have text size settings. I have to say the "upgrade" hasn't been much of one so far. About the only plus is the return of file upload capability..

The forums look a whole lot better in IE then it does in Firefox. In fact I really like the way the forums look in IE, except for the fact there are no borders in the main root of a forum to seperate things. The big text in Firefox ruins the formatting and is a pain...Having to switch font size to smaller setting inside Firefox is even a bigger pain as then you need to switch it for other sites yet again.

Again, fix that problem and then get it to where the order of Posts is optional and I will be really happy with the forums.
