It may be worth pointing out that everybodys e-mail address is now 'visible' with this new software. Mine was 'invisible' with the previous software but I have had to edit my profile in order to make it 'invisible' again.

Danny This is great
What a way to spend your Easter Holiday
Why can`t I get coloured words and large type together? Am I doing something wrong? A java script box keeps appearing.

Seriously nice work Danny... one thing (there's always one thing, except when there are five hundred things...)
How come I can post (honest, look, I'm doing it now!) but can't chat - when I login to chat, I get:

It's not a 'new software' thing - it's been like this for weeks. And I certainly could chat in the past... I was 'reporting live from NYC' in the chatroom as 9/11 was happening.

Any thread you posted to before you (or Danny) reset the email option will continue to send you notifications. Do not despair. Go to the User Control Panel (the user cp link up there ^) and you'll see you've been 'subscribed' to that thread. Just unsubscribe and they'll stop.
If you subscribe to your favourite forums, on that same (user cp) page you'll get a summary or subset containing just those. Saves a bit of scrolling past the privates or other things which don't interest you. Set the page as your bookmark and you'll get to where you want to be a bit quicker.

WOW! according to my profile, I registered in Jan 1970. 
Oh well, I guess we'll all have to just kick back and wait until Danny gets rid of all the little bugs in the system.
Apart from that - LOOKS GREAT!

Yes, must admit, it looks great!
Hmmm . . . the 737! Good luck with the conversion course Danny . . . one thing though . . . I thought Mr Fyne worked for Air 2000. Air 2000 doesn't operate B737s. Conclusion=Mr Fyne is looking for pastures new. (Just a conjecture. Anywhere near?)
Thanks to all at PPRuNe admin for making this enormous task possible!

Yes indeed - thanks again for the upgrade.
Paper Tiger - thanks for telling me how to stop the 'notification e-mails'; quite why just turning off the 'send notification' doesn't do just that, I don't understand. I have now 'unsubscribed from topic' and hope that it'll work!
Is this new system 'vBulletin' - the same type of bulletin board software to that used by 'Digital Spy'? (That should get Echelon's alarm bells ringing......)

As Sloppy said, all the vB coded part of the old messages (eg. links etc.) appear as plain text to me too: It seems that the [ and ] characters that are used in the code have been turned into < and > now, and therefore do not work. All these messages look like a big mess now...

Bravo!
Danny,
You don't 'know' all that 737 stuff yet????
Just kidding.
From all of us on the Southwest forum, thanks for the valuable service you provide. We can wait 'til you sort it all out. Turn off your computer and go have a beer -NOW!

(C'mon man. We know there is a vast room of scantily clad techno-babes busily working away on these 'tech bits' while you oversee things from your command podium, pint in hand. God, somebody has to do it.)

I Liked The Old Setup Better....
Capt PPRUNE and Others,
First, I want to thank you and the other moderators for your tireless work to improve this most EXCELLENT aviation forum. I love it. I am addicted to it. Your work has been tremendous.
However, as a loyal PPRUNER, I must say I am somewhat disappointed with the new "set up." Is it just me, or do others find the scrolling horizontally for all of the posts to be a bit headache-inducing? Some of the posts are not lined up properly - it will start 6 inches to the right of the previous post - so you need to scroll to the right or left to actually read the text.
I found the old format preferrable because you could just read the entire posting in a confined area - in paragraph form. Much easier to read - and fewer headaches from scrolling back and forth...
I love PPRUNE and I appreciate your HARD WORK and dedication to improving things. This message was not ment to upset anyone. Just wanted to add my two-cents worth...
Cheers
