Bulletin board software is updated. If something doesn't work, please post its details here.

This is mainly a bug-fix update. A new feature is Facebook and Twitter buttons at the end of a thread to enable an easy way to share the thread on those networks.

Something wrong with the formatting. A CSS problem perhaps?

It looks odd for me too. The index has a biiig gap on the left of the screen and print scrunched into the right.
Then when i open a topic everything is on the left with a blank right of the screen. But the reply box is again way over to the right.

Usable but awkward. Though I must say I'm glad it's not just my computer (or my lack of computer skills.)

Perhaps the stylesheet you've chosen isn't working well with the update. Try a few different stylesheets and see if that makes a difference. Here's how to change it:

My stuff -> Edit Preferences -> Your preferred stylesheet

I see no problems. I'm using the default style sheet.

the GooG_v2, infopop, and ebay styles (others?) are broken; i.e., all those which don't put up the Forum Stats etc. along the right-hand side. (personally, I have no use for that stuff and feel it just takes up space.)

edit: 6 of the 10 Top Posters no longer post here, and the number one is deceased. I don't need to be reminded of all that all the time.

Back to the default. That seems to work.

The default is closest to the old layout. - Bye bye blue GooG_v 2.- Never mind. The other choices are just to unpractical to use. Too much scrolling. Ah well... progress, you see, progress I guess. ( have the forums above the fold in full view.)
