We're done with the first part of the upgrade. Still have a few issues to work through.

Report any major problems here.

Ton of work to get done.

Lets see what this beast morphs into.

So far...

1) New templates in place
2) Forums Upgraded
3) Classifieds Upgraded

Still working on sorting out the new classifieds...

Should be in place by the 27th....

Thread notification links are taking us to some time earlier in the thread than the most recent posting. I guess this is related to the time that the upgrade took place so no big deal really.

I noticed a significant increase in time it takes to jump to a thread from the overnight e-mail. Not sure if this is related to the upgrade.

Like all things new, I am not so sure about the new style but I suppose it is a case of getting used to it.

Discobay: There is some new code in place for handling the latest posts. Should settle down...

Katanga: Will look at the timing issue. (I know, w'e're due for a major hardware upgrade in Feb... but will take a look at what could be causing the delays).

One neat feature that I like about this upgrade is, when you start typing in a users name in the "send to" box while creating a private message.... it automatically suggests users names.

Useful for sending PMs to people who have cryptic names.

The second coolest feature is how the page does not reload when you click on the "Post Quick Reply" button....

I like the new design - it also seems faster.

A suggestion.. Perhaps the "Latest threads" font could be reduced by 2 sizes down?

Martyn, Might be tough to do that ... let me look @ the code.
