Nice addition, Robert, with the latest smf code.

I played with the various colors a bit and found that the lighter colors have the problem that where white letters are used, they disappear. I have found that a darker color selection works best for me. Perhaps a suggestion: could the background color selection also include a color selection for the letters?

If I knew exactly what I was doing it would be faster but alas I don't so it's trial and error. (emphasis on error) Maybe after I figure out news code I can look at that. There just is not enough time in a lifetime to learn and implement everything.

Everyone, please keep in mind I am just an old mechanic from the points and condenser days.

Sparky--------------also keep in mind that many of us are even older than you and get really tired of all the changes in todays world.  Seems I just get comfortable with something and some clown just has to change things.  Comcast is a real good example.  Just sayin...Roy DeCamara

well done Robert on one of the most seamless forum upgrades I have ever witnessed. I also hate changes but this one was near transparent.
Unless it's crazy, ambitious and delusional, it's not worth our time.

I like the new way.  But I got an E-Mail that said I needed to make a comment on one of the sections.   Asked for password and then it told me page did not exist.  So I sent the E-mail to never, never land of the computer world. H^^

  I noticed that some members have these little squares under their screen names in different numbers and colors. What are they for? Not only am I having to get used to the new site, I'm working on getting new computers also!!!

I have received a couple of those.  I don't understand what is wanted.  They are nuisance emails.

They re no meant to be a nuisance as the forum software is still being tweaked.
