It's like switching from green or amber text on black background CRT for an IBM PC back in the day to a Mac SE with all white background and black text. Late 80s/early 90s

This new color scheme is much better.

Anyone having trouble with viewing large pictures in the Gallery?  50% of the time when I click to enlarge the picture I get an error saying the photo cannot be found/downloaded.  I'll try a few more and see if this continues.

Here's what I got when I went to the CEEGAR BOX II thread:
Unable to download index.php from www.bottlehead.com
Unable to open this internet site.  The requested site blah, blah, blah.

This never occurred before the upgrade.  Is it the bottlehead site or my browser?

Seems to work OK for me. I will check a few different computers. I hope to be able to upgrade the image hosting setup with this new version of the forum software. Upgrades are going to be appearing slowly due to the necessity of loading each mod manually rather than thru the usual automated script. Seems to have something to do with how owners and permissions are set up on our server. We sacrifice a little bit of bells and whistles for better security.

Alonzo,

I went to that thread.  The first picture loaded on the page.  The second one had to open in a program to display the picture.

Maybe I'm missing it but could you put a link on the forum header that goes back to the main bottlehead website?

The world was made for those not cursed with self-awareness.

Not sure if they existed before, but I do enjoy looking at the extensive stats at the bottom of the forum's main page. Pretty impressive.

Thanks Ron. Yeah, those stats were available on the old format, but I don't know if everyone could see them or not. Page views have really been picking up lately. Maybe the updated forum is getting into the search engines better. We've been slamming at getting kits out and parts ordered today, but I hope to get back to tweaking this new setup next week.
