    Changing the color scheme a bit would be nice, something a bit higher contrast.

    Leave the quicky reply though! I only use that unless I'm quoting someone, since it's so much faster!

    I know they pay part of the bills here but can the Supporting Vendors be moved to the bottom? The main forum page only loads to about half way through the SV section for me.
    Also can we turn off animated banners? My system is old and really slow, they dont help any.

    thanks for listening

    Color- Definately up for making the orange a darker less peachy orange for better contrast

    Font- the size is fine for me. maybe user's screen names are a bit big, and make their profile info a size smaller, but the thread text size for whats typed in the post seems like a normal size 12 font sized on the monitor

    Attachments - definately make the pic show up without having to click

    Quick reply - whats "hack"? I like the quick reply box for posting up replies

    Remember Log in - i have to log in every time i come to the site. It doesnt remember me logged in even if i check the box

    When I was trying to edit my siggy it said that I couldn't have more than a certain number of characters in it. It counted the vBcodes in those characters (cos I like mine all pretty). Any way to make that amount larger so I can edit my siggy and keep it pretty at the same time

    Other than that I love the way the site is now!

    EDIT: Just thought of one more thing that might help the people who are having difficulty adjusting to the new look:
    If there is any way that on the main index the whole sections are separated with a space and the side margins of the whole page are brought in a bit more... I think the extra black on the edges and in between would make it easier to view.

    Same here, if I posted something that was of little interest to others (most of my post) I could delete it.
    Or if I had an update I could just delete the old post and write a new one, bringing it back to the top.
    colors would be a nice change but not a big deal for me.

    By the way...What's a hot post or what makes a post hot? I couldn't figure out at first, from the little envelops on the side, which ones I had read and which ones I hadn't. The hot post envelops stood out more, so I thought they were unread ones I hadn't read.

    The reason a user cannot delete a post, is that if it is the first post, it deletes the complete thread. You have not been able to delete posts on the old vB...only admin and mods!

    Would like to see return to "manual" "mark all post read" instead of auto reload of only new posts when logging on

    Thanks
