Sorry for this subject again, but I think it's worth it since so many are suffering with the new format and AgentSmith is currently absent without internet and can't keep us advised with his usual level of attention. It's worth keeping an eye on the Community Centre forum every day, as new updates are sneaking out: There is now a user option to set the forum display so that threads with new posts are bumped to the top. There's a techie cascading style sheet workaround so that members can view the forums with their preferred colours. A couple of members have made their recoded option available - those like me who go crosseyed at code can just copy and paste the shared code into their options page and enjoy a darker alternative to the default. With these, and with the bugs worked out, I think the new PHP format forums are going to be a success.
