This look is good and I'm sure any look would be fine just as long as the forums are back up. Thanks for your hard work in getting them back up and running Joe.

Where do we mark all posts read?

I can't seem to find where we can mark all posts read when we are done. Is this feature not here anymore or am I as blind as everyone says I am?

How do I add a custom status to my profile? I don't seem to have that option.

I love the new look.
Keep up the good work



Mike

Love the new look. Very sleek.

Now that I'm posting though there one thing. Can the default text height in the box for typing posts be made a bit bigger? Is it a preference I can change? It's a bit hard to read on my 1600x1200 resolution monitor. the size we had before was good.
