Grant,

Didn't see it in your to do list but you may want to consider making all external links open in a new window. I thought that's how it was before but maybe I'm thinking of my favorite fishing forum.

Just a thought that would keep new viewers here longer.

Matt.

2 things I've noted that may or may not be on my end:

1)When I get an email from the topic tracker, it makes me log in to read what the new post are. Not a biggie, but whenever I do log in I tend to see what ALL new post are so I don't miss anything that may be a new topic, etc... Used to take you to the new post without logging in.

2)When I click on the lil button(Go To the End?) where it used to take you to last post you had viewed, it takes me to the top of the page instead and I have to scroll down to find where I left off, instead of it taking you to the newest post since I had last viewed the topic.

Didn't know if these were on the radar or not, or whether the code could even do that....

I like the name and avatar on the right. I don't mind the colors. The only thing that would be nice fixed is the links opening in a new window, and I see it was mentioned below. Otherwise I think it is a nice change!

Me thinks the format is great. I'de like more neutral colors (browns, tans, yellows, (autum colors))

Thanks for making the changes.

Always enjoy visiting here, ditto on the colors and moving the avitar/pic back to the left side of this while on the forums.
Over all its still niceer than most. For a freebie its hard to complain about.

The changes are fine with one exception. On the old version when you logged on only the topics that had activity from the last log-in were a different color. On this version when I log-on all of the topics that have new activity as well as those from the last log-on that I didn't open are "Red/White" in color. The only way I have found to change that is to "mark all topics as read" before I exit. Is there a way to do this automatically?

Hope this wasn't confusing.
