Please be patient with the changes as I've upgraded the forum to the latest version of the software. Unfortunately, the skin didn't get migrated.

I'll be working on the new skin and should expect it soon.

If you have any problems with the new setup, please let me know.

Wow! I go to St. Louis for five days and the forum is all different. Nice job, Drew.

Not a real problem, just a feature request. I really used the "view first unread post" feature and find it to be very useful when trying to keep up with what is going on around the forum in general.

Thanks for all your work Drew, it does not go unappreciated.

I really like that it threads PM's. And the skin looks just great to me once I got over the initial surprise

The only convenience that I seem to be missing is to "View by Today" or "View by This Week". Sometimes after I've viewed something, I'll have a thought and come back to it, and that is helpful at tracking down the thread. It's obviously not burning the barn down nor am I complaining... just something about the old one that I liked.

Thanks again!

You could do that? I didn't even know.

There are a few things here and there that I've been tweaking. I didn't realize how much I tweaked the old skin/template.

I will add that to the list of stuff to look at.

Next on the list is getting rid of this baby blue background...

Yeah, it was a drop down on the lower right hand side. It was immensely useful, esp after going on vacation or getting busy at work or something.

I don't have a baby blue background in my "skin". I still have the EarthTones ™ kind of thing going on(gray brown, beige and olive green with black heading text and bluish post text). The only blue thing in my view is the gray blue in the style tool bar. And honestly, I think it looks really nice as is (if we're looking at the same thing). But I understand the urges to tweak (the good kind of tweak, that is

)

If any of you guys want to design a skin, here is the GDK. It requires a more recent copy of Photoshop.
