        Not too sure about new format

        Hello Gustav,

        I'm not too sure about your new format. New look, yes. But at the moment looking a little form over function. In the past I could click top left ( www.m5board.com ) after posting and get straight back into messageboard but now I have to reload at source.


        And the smilie I usually use doesn't seem to work.

        Cheers ( sorry no smilie )

        ralph (vadas1)

        Ralph,

        The back to index link is still there, it's just a little less obvious.... (it's right below the www.m5board.com picture)
        Took a little time for me to adjust too, but after surfing the site for a while, I hardly remember the old lay-out..

        Hey Gustav - you're an "Administrator" - that's ok but all the rest of us are all simply "registered users".

        Please bring back the 'member', 'senior member', 'M5 guru' etc. designations

        I like it, cleaner and easier to read.

        I like the colour scheme too, some boards are garish, not that this one used to be, but it`s definately even easier now.

        Also like the ability, as this is my first post on the new system, to do thisthisand this !!!

        A little odd at first, but after a few posts it's very cool. Good update Gustav.
