What's really odd to me is when you go to the "who's online" screen and it tells you exactly what everyone's doing - which thread they're reading, if they're sending an email, etc. I'm not entirely sure what I think of that!
Other than that, thumbs up on the new format so far... it's fast, everything seems to work, Safari can read all the buttons... good stuff. I'll probably be around a lot more now.

Where is that? I know I stumbled upon it this morning but can't relocate it.
[Found it. Oddly, it currently lists on one else on-line. And when I visit a forum, I'm the only one there. Spooky!]

Don't like the dark blue on the scroll bars - could it not be the two shades of grey that are used for posts - very easy on the eye.
If possible, it would be great if no-one could have a signature - biggest waste of bandwith ever invented - lots of wasted time, and no more xxxx, baby - it would just be the same thing all the time.
Only been on for 10 minutes. Seems pretty good. Private messaging makes sense, since people could avoid giving personal e-mail, and it saves problems with updating, as long as it doesn't invite trollish behaviour.
Trading post forum sounds good.
Not a big fan of graphic smileys, but less annoying than auto-signatures, could get used to them maybe.
I have admin options on the bottom of my screen - could these be removed? It would be great to have an omnipresent "back to index button" on the screen somewhere, although I might find it yet. Like it so far.

Nathaniel, you can choose to not have people's signature's displayed. It's an option in your preferences. Ditto for avatars (although Lois has them turned off anyway).
BTW, am I the only one who's "View New Posts" button stopped working? That is one feature that I really need here!
Thanks, switched them off. With the apparent amount of customisation, I don't forsee having any major complaints, although the message saying your message is being posted seems a bit unnecessary, and still don't like the dark blue.
