Hello, everyone!
As I'm sure you've noticed, our forum has recently undergone a major change. This is because the hosting server of this forum, ProBoards, recently upgraded to a new system.
The basic functionality of the forum, however, remains the same - it's only the graphical elements that have changed.
There are a lot of customization tools available to the administration, and if there are any changes you'd like us to make to help improve functionality or ease of use, or simply to try to restore elements that you're used to from the previous version of ProBoards, please let us know and we'll see what we can do!
Most importantly, though, if you have any questions about how to use the new version of the forum, comments, or feedback, please let us know. While this change is completely beyond the control of our forum's administration, we'll try to do whatever we can to make your experience here as easy and enjoyable as possible.

Eric,
thanks for updating everybody. I wish we could recover some of our previous functions, national colors, links to the website and James Polish products advertisements. Guys, please, do not worry about login the first time. If your e-mail address changed since the last time, just give the new one. It really does not ask about too much private information.

I modified the colors, so that it is at least a bit patriotic. We will work on it. Slowly but gradually with help of James Smock we will be able to modify it I hope

They changed with no warning, so when they looked different and insisted I repeat my password and my birthday, I backed off and stayed away until jaga confirmed this is real.
My favorite feature was to call up the 30 most recent posts and read the forum that way instead of searching topics. It works fine for me. Now I can only call up whatever they define as "most recent".
Well, between the conference that ends tomorrow and my flight to Europe on Saturday, I am going to be busy, so I don't expect to be around much. I hope Karl shows up again!
Kai
PS. Happily I got to keep my Moose!

We can see the most recent posts in the bottom but it is not specified that there are 30. I also liked this feature. We got a warning but it was a month ago, I even posted it. The change, so radical, was unexpected......
John, Kai, Eric, can you tolerate these colors (purple)? I do not like just blue, it makes me feel cold.....

Actually, at the top of every page for at least a month there was a notification that this was going to happen, but it wasn't made particularly noticeable. Anyway, I'm glad you played it safe until you realized what was going on - that's always the best way to do things.

Tolerate colors? Yes, but my eyes are used to the greater contrast on the other decor we had. That and the changed locations of things has me searching when I want to take an action.
Otherwise it seems fine. Kai

It takes a while to adjust it. We are still experimenting. I liked the previous colors also.

Now that I finished my Cold Regions seminar I am more relaxed, though it is busy between now and flying out Saturday afternoon!
Yes, I am beginning to like the arrangements, and being able to call up past posts by someone to see what they present as a core of their interests. It is nice to have lurkers and occasional readers come by and comment.
Kai
