    The new site was built completely from scratch.  So no doubt there will be some issues.  Post your issues or feature request to this thread.  I'll do my best to get it done.
    If you have trouble accessing the site, please use the Forgot password feature on the login page first.
    Remember to use your username in the textbox not your email address.

    If that doesnt work send an email to:

    I will monitor this email address for the next few weeks.

    Spot on Kingchops! This looks really good and works so much better from my smartphone. Massive thanks to all involved!! 
    Only issue so far is I can't use the little emoji's on my phone ... no smiley face (have to act my age). Shame the function when you read a post it 'lightens' in colour has gone. Helpful for a quick scan.

    I don't want to sound like i'm critizing as you asked for issues to be highlighted. I do thank you for the hard work, having built a couple sites just from templates and poulated them i know how much times goes into it.
    An issue is the topics (at least in the hot topics) don't list what subforum they are in. There are certain subforums here i don't use as i don't agree with the sentiments expressed. I'd rather not click on threads in those subsections and you can't always tell by the titles.

    Hi Kingchops. Just wondering on the new site, say you are replying to a post and want to highlight/add colour to what someone has said. It was easy before however now there seems no option to do that.
    You know, just above the reply box where it now says Bold, Italic,Link,You tube,Images and Link Img. There use to be more options.
    Yeah I know, nag nag nag, pick pick pick.

    I'd like to change my username too. 
    I just tried quoting Mon but when I did I couldn't put spaces between words which was odd. Using android

    Hey KC. Not sure if these have been mentioned..
    Previously only threads that have new replies were in bold (with a star, even) and read threads were plain. now all in bold?
    When you hovered the mouse on a heading you could read the first few lines, to see if it was of interest to you.
    Previously you went to the latest post and had to backtrack, now it looks like you go to the 1st post, and have to jump forward. (not that it really matters) 

    Cheers.

     KC, this is just a personal observation on the appearance of the threads.
    I really like the clean appearance, but I find it visually off putting that the posters name is so prominent in comparison to the fine font in the comments.

    Is there a way that the posters name can be reduced in size so it doesn't stand out so much and detract from the comments?

    Again well done on the new site KC.
    After a week or so using it, I'm finding I get lost less often.

    Now. My well considered suggestion
    I wonder if you ran a quick straw poll to see whether members would prefer a reverse order to the posts, ie newest post first. I just wonder who we are catering for having oldest first. Some threads as you know, run for 10's of pages. Or "JUST DO IT" to quote NIKE
    Could save a lot of mucking about. Kind regards Steelo

    Forum looks great mate. Just noticed however that if u reply to a comment its pretty convoluted to get back to the forum you were in. Is there something Im missing or do we need a return to furm link?
