It does have a nice look to it. The print is smaller so how does one go about getting it a little larger for some us visually challenged people?

cwcad, I'm among the VC's, so I know this trick. In Firefox and Internet Explorer (not sure about Safari) you can hold down the [Ctrl] key and press [+] or [-] to make the font increase or decrease. Unless I gooned it, the forum pages will respond properly.

Nice look and looks great. Is the "New Posts" now replaced by active threads?

On the Home Page, Yes. I have a change coming in Phase II that adds a left side column to the forum pages. In the left column I will add navigation tools, a search box and "New Threads" so you can easily see new threads as they are created.

Thank you. I will add this to the bug list.

Everything looks really good. I think I am going to miss the home page having all the threads on it, I hardly ever went into the forums to see what was new. I just sat on the home page and the refresh button. I'll get over that, everything else looks really nice though. Good job man

Edit: Never mind, found it. LOL. now it all looks great. LOL.

Since the upgrade I've received 2 email notifications (amongst many more) that, when I click the link which brings up the thread, the posts are missing in the thread.

I don't know if its some weird bug or, by coincidence, they've both deleted their posts before I got to them.

Paul, I'm not able to duplicate the problem. If it continues to happen, please forward the notification emails to me.

I found a few issues on the Review site (http://autopia.org/reviews/) does not appear to have the new block buttons links below the banner logo.

Here is a simple breakdown:
Home button - Goes to the Review site which you are already on (http://autopia.org/reviews/)
Forums - Give you a 404 not found error (http://autopia.org/.php?)
Gallery - Goes to Gallery
Reviews - Goes to Reviews
Links & Classified - Are not listed

Also another feedback item. I am not too keen on the boxes that surround the info about the poster (join date, Location, Total posts, etc...) in the left column of each persons post. My reasoning is due to this formatting and spacing (vertically), is that it artificially makes posts longer as that stack of items is taller then most posts. Thus causing a lot of scrolling and dead white space to read the next reply in the thread. Just my $0.02, as I don't remember that info being in boxes and spaced so far apart.
