Steve,

I received a notice that I had a private message, but when I try to retrieve it, it says "board not available."

Maybe you are accessing steves forum with a previously saved URL.

Like this one http://www.stevesforums.com/phpBB2/s...h_id=egosearch

They does not seem to work any more. Try to access the area from the new forum interface.

A default of itsy-bitsy white type on a black background is the bane of the over-forty crowd, and it's even worse for me since I'll end up having to read huge amounts of it. My sincere hope is that there's a change of heart, at least about the color scheme.

I agree. Still, the messagefonts looks like being unnecessarily too small to be read in a clear way.

P.S. : In any case, all of my empathy for this migration, steve ! Software migrationis never painless !

On editing posts :

• The white background does not allow to see what has been quoted. [/*]
• Editing a previous post sometimes results in a mess and in multiple posts [/*]
• Where is the cancel post button ? I could not find it ! [/*]
• Where can I reedit the title ?

Ah, but I didn't have to use the system which displaysall the new messages. This way, by just quickly looking at a few forums I was able to see if anything was new in the forums that I usually read. The "View New Posts since last visit" was useless to me because I had still had to hunt down the posts that were in sections that I read. I skip almost every camera specific forum because I know nothing about those brands (for example.)

There is somethign under My Account that is called "Watched Forums" so I'm going to see if that does what I'm looking for.

Interesting. I was able to use My Account without it giving me an SQL error. Weird. Worked fine yesterday for me.. even works for me right now. Odd.

Sorry but the old forum is totally gone - no way to get to it anymore.

The board skin/template is looking better all the time. Nice job.

Next thing I'd like to see are smilies designed for dark backgrounds.

[photosbyvito]

another thing that is better about the black...is that you could set something with a black bg..and it will look transparent...you don't have to worry about the hundreds of shades of grey anymore....

So far, I can't access my account and, thus, can't change any preferences. Yes, I know, patience is a virtue.
