The New Forum Has Arrived

[LochnarITB]

What is the status of the private messages? Were they all lost?

Yes. It was far too much to bring over. If you had some kind of important information stored in your PM's and you don't mind me seeing it, I can try to dig through the old database to pull it up. I didn't think this would be much of a loss, though.

Maybe it is old eyes or an intense hatred of change, but I found the old skin much easier to read and I would be a happy camper if it stayed exactly the same skin on the new chassis.

The odd thing is that study after study concludes that it's harder to read light text on a dark background than dark text on a light background. I think it may just be that after so many years, you got so used to it, that this is a shock. I agree that a dark board fits the "Lurker" theme, though.

Nah, nothing of importance in the PMs, just my usual ranting about Tal to others. It was just odd that the private messages link at the top initially showed me as having 42 but then switched to zero when I had been in there to check them.

The light dark thing surprises me. For me, a bright background on any site washes out the dark print if it isn't a bolded font. It does the same to dividing lines like those around quotes and such. Ah well, I can get used to anything.

One other odd thing I've noticed. The default thread subscription setting was "Subscribe and receive email notification of new replies" but I didn't notice it when I replied to this thread. After getting a few email notices, I found where to change the default. I also found where to cancel any thread/forum subscriptions. However, after canceling the subscription, it seems like I am still getting notifications. It may be that it actually came while I was canceling the subscription. If I see any more notifications I'll let you know to see if stuck subscriptions is a known issue.
