    can user customize the colors. reading grey text on black background is pretty tiring...

    A post references an attachment by number. Clicking on that "link" results in an error notice that there is no such link/number and the requested attachment could not be found.

    Chad - don't be too quick. After resetting my password (see above post) I get an error message trying to access the forums. Need some instructions on making changes, finding spammers, etc. before going live.

    Same opinion as marcsmith
    Grey on black not good.
    Background too dark .
    Black text on white is the best.
    Best contrast with complementary colors, like : Black on White, Blue on Yellow, etc

    Hi, Chad,
    What's the status? Is everything switched over now?
    I fear, the images are still missing and there is hardly any activity on both sides. May be others are similarly confused as I am ...

    Finally saw the reference to the new forum site. I am assuming that this is intended to be a complete replacement, so I need to update my bookmarks.

    Thanks,

    Yes!!!!!
    I've been chugging away on the old one lol. If I type in RCsailing.net it goes to the old landing page and then into the archive one.
    I'll clear my cache and see if it changes but the only reason I chased the new site is a link topok me directly here.

    Nope, cleared the cache and it still takes me to the old "what's new" page, then if you click on "rcsailing.net forum" it takes you into the old forum.

    If I type : http://www.rcsailing.net/forum/index.php
    It brings me here.

    Maybe lose the old "new posts" page?
