Great, It will take time getting used to, as visually many things have changed, one thing I noticed is that you can now see the post first, prior to the avatar o the person. Quotes are better visible also.

I like it very much, thanks ptex and the board.

What the...??? I leave you guys unsupervised for 2 months and this is what I come back to???? A new forum design???? Sheesh!!!!!

Nah seriously, I love it. Good work, forum needed an update. Looks good. :applause:

Now that my relationship problems (ie my materialistic ex-wife) are a thing of the past I can get back to what I SHOULD be doing...

Keep up the good work :D

Thanks for your comments my friends.

I'm wondering if t here have been any problems with the new forum.
For 3 days in a row that we have no posts here and I'm wondering why?

I have tested an re-tested the forum and it's working well on this side.

If you find anything not working, or have any suggestion please contact me through PM or e-mail to: adminitisbadtospamgoldenplanetforumdotcom (substitute the itisbadtospam by "@" and dot by ".")
