I'm liking the new version! Thanks Sir Edward for all the hard work!

btw at some point our order page needs our newly chosen motto depicted.

That's still on the "to do list".

It's easier than that. The link is all the way up in the upper-right, next to your avatar photo. I'm also planning on moving/adding a link for that in a more obvious place.

The "unread posts" buttons on the right side only show you new posts in each section. The one up next to your avatar shows you new posts for the whole forum.

So I go camping in the woods with my family and upon my return everything has changed!  I swear I was only gone a few days.  Well done!  Thank you for the time and effort it must have taken for this conversion.

OK, I moved the "show unread" links (duplicate copy, actually), moved the search box, re-added the links bar up top.

In addition to getting the glossary and youtube embedding working again, as well as the new registration anti-spam stuff.

Anything else you can think of? I think we're basically all set.

Better than ever, Sir Edward! I used to have to turn on my windows computer just to check PMs. With the new interface, it all works right in Chrome, and looks more "polished" too. :D

I turned on the calendar, in case anyone wants to use it.

Also, the new forum has web-spider tracking. So the list of online users should show when one of the major search engines is accessing stuff, instead of just showing up as a guest.
