Title: New Look

I had to upgrade the board software. I hope to work out bugs over the next day or so. If you find anything amiss, please let me know.

I like the look.

There is just a couple of issues:
When logging in there is a screen saying that I have logged in. Is there a way to bypass this to get directly to the forum without clicking?

When browsing a forum, is it possible to go to the next/previous post in the forum without going back to the list of posts?

Looks good to me. It's still fairly straight forward and looks a little 'brighter' somehow. Well done.

Ditto.  Having to go back to the list of posts in each topic area is a major PITA.  And I don't mean pileated tanager by that!

  Just wait a couple seconds and you will be re-directed to the opening page.

Denis, it seems to depend on the width of the browser. When I have the browser full screen I see the whole picture, but if I have a smaller browser window the right part of the picture gets cut off.

that,s right thomas.
on other sites that i post,they have a slider under the images,so you can adjust them to fit the screen.probably have to post smaller sized images on this forum from now on,then.

I love the new look, unfortunatly my bookmark was giving me grief and got all confused, not sure why, so I had to re-register! Thanks Andy!
the new look is crisp and clean, and as for photos, I'm seeing what I am assuming is the whole image...when I posted my Hummer I made sure it wasn't the big size either.

I had trouble getting here. I kept getting the old address. Google didn't help. Even when I tried the 'Bird Board' link on the Outdoor Ontario webpage I was redirected to the old address. How I got here yesterday is beyond me!
 
Anyway, it's a nice looking set-up.

Thanks for doing this Andy! This opens up the opportunity of enabling interesting plug-ins and mods, e.g. to enable video embedding, subscription of threads and forums (making my twitter alerts obsolete), etc.

I went through the logs and I guess I'm the only one who doesn't like the new turquoise color. I find it's hard on my eyes and tough to read the words within.
