I spent the early part of this afternoon upgrading the forum. We have some new features and a new look. What do you think?
The site's new design looks great. The only thing I see that could be improved is the quoted material in replies. It's not as prominently set apart from the new material as it used to be, so it's harder to tell on first glance what part of the comment is new, and takes longer to scroll through a discussion.
Other than that, it looks really sharp and is easier to navigate. Thanks for all your work, John.
PS I partially take that back: The reply looks fine on this post right here. Can that format be retroactively applied to the old discussions?

The old search left much to be desired.
I really like the layout.

I learned in another forum that Flicker no longer allows deep linking to photos

I am using IE 8. On the Transportation / Streetcar - City Council Andy's comment box is extremely vertically long... with no text. Its is like he might have embedded photo's from Flicker but they are not being displayed.

360, I am still posting my photos to FLICKR. It still works but stinks big-time. I am looking for some place else to post my pics. (Tho I just paid for 2 more years of FLICKR PRO)
It has always been against YAHOO's policy to post their pictures someplace else but was easy to do. They just made it harder but it can still be done. (Thanks again UncaMikey for talking me down from that cliff)

Brian - I use Webshots. Pictures post easy from their site to the Forum. Only after you taught me how to do it.

"I am using IE 8. On the Transportation / Streetcar - City Council Andy's comment box is extremely vertically long... with no text and no pictures." Also when clicking TRANSPORTATION on 'Last Comment' date/time the browser says ... "waiting for fortwortharchitecture.com to load". I will go away and get a cup of coffee and when I return.. it still waiting for the page to load. I have learned that IE 8 browser has locked up and I have to X- out and restart the browser. ALL OTHER Forum TOPICs open fast. Its only the TRANSPORTATION.

Love that we can share to FB friends--just shared our Elerbee's info with a friend whose nephew works there.
Not terribly keen on the interests not being truncated under the member pix--because ours is embarrassingly long. Perhaps we should just edit.

In replying to threads, please use the larger dark button that states, "Add Reply" at the begining and ends of each page, or use the "Fast Reply" feature.
I hate to complain, but recently the thread quoting has become a nearly every post occurrence.

I also hate to complain, but I frankly cannot stand the new format. The older one was far easier on my eyes. After giving it a try for a few months, that opinion hasn't changed for me. I come here far less often and the primary reason is the format change.

I am surely not saying the other style was not better for others. Surely is personal preferences. To be honest, I do so much posting that I do not readily remember much of the old style.
