yw... I still working away in the background atm.. although I did take a short break to eat.  :D
I think all the heart stopping moments are out of the way now as far as the database goes.

My heart was in my mouth when I deleted everything from the old forum and it was a huge relief when the database copied back over and went in the new software ok.

I'll try correct the remaining images next.. then on to working on the new anti-spam features i'll be installing... which should help a lot.. and why I decided to go this route in the first place.

It could possibly be.  With doing a brand spanking new clean install rather than an upgrade I  have got rid of lots of code and stuff thats accumulated over the past 7 or 8 years.
We shall see properly when Ive installed the spam prevention features and any other mods.

There's something different about the place. Has someone been tinkering?
Nice job and well done Kitz. Your work is much appreciated.

Strange, notifications do not seem to be working "in this thread" but it is working in the Letters in Office 2003 thread.

Have not changed any settings and they all seem to be as they should be in my profile.

First notification now received for this thread, so it seems to have now been corrected, thanks.

Looks good to me not sure if its faster but certainly it is no slower. One minor point is that the logout and print (or mark read when viewing a topic)  buttons dont show properly for me using FF V5.

Kitz was working late last night on a problem with the online help not working properly, and temporarily changing to the default forum template was one of the tests she carried out. There's certainly no plan to change the forum colour to orange. :)

The help is working OK at present, but there may be more work to be done.

I thought it looked cool,orange lettering with a paler blue background. 8)

Although I do have a liking for blue and white  ;)
