    While the new forum is being set up this old forum will be in READ ONLY format for a couple of days, then down for a day while the data transfer is taking place.
    This will begin Sunday night.

    The new style isn't very clearly arranged IMO. And I am missing the option to change the style ... will it stay like this or will other "themes" be available soon?

    there is probably only going to be this one style. it may get modified in the future as mike makes changes/customizations to it.

    I preferred the old style but this is not bad,
    Pity no chance of avatars though......

    Cannot understand why posts and especially pics are not blocked for non members.Letting them view and copy with actually signing up does not to encourage them to join.

    Good to see you Gaz, missed you mate.
    Mike left it open to view, not sure why exactly, but we do seem to get many more viewers than before.
    Even after users made that first qualifying post, many of them never made another but still had viewing rights.
    In all it seems to be working well.

    I agree with Turtle. At first I thought like you Gaz, why let these freeloaders in, but it is working out quite well.

    For anyone that doesn't know or remember, assuming IIRC, it was because there isn't an easy way of implementing the restriction with the new (and different) forum software.
