Indeed..
I have also noticed that I don't have to manually keep typing "end quote" all the time..
It is automatic when using the reply button etc.

It used to be possibe to cut and paste a 'reply' from one thread to another thread and respond to it there. The new system prevents the copying or cutting and pasting of replies because the code is not included on edit. Perhaps it is designed to avoid cross-thread discussions
Oh, you can still get the "raw code" version with the commands in square brackets - just click the symbol of two square brackets to the right of the editor toolbar, between the round "undo/redo" arrows and the little floppy disk symbol.
This allows you to cut and paste the raw code to a new thread.
Thank you
Old version sure was a lot easier for us old folks. Words instead of a lot of symbols to decipher. 
There was no choice but to upgrade, or crash (for real) by the middle of this month when the PHP becomes obsolete that we were using. It is the first IO upgrade in about 20 years, and perhaps the only upgrade ever, lolOld version sure was a lot easier for us old folks. Words instead of a lot of symbols to decipher.

Not quite that bad - the old version was from 2014, and it seems there was a different forum software in use for interfaith.org pre 2014.
Glad we're up to date now. I'll be travelling from tomorrow till Monday; maybe next week I'll try to tune the color scheme some more, for better contrast. No promises.
If I remember right, Steve changed hosts when he took over. Forgot when that was exactly. That may have been when the software change occurred. Prior to that there were ad banners on the site.
Doll forum I subscribe to made the change earlier this year. I couldn't even use that for a while. Eventually though, they got it pretty close to the way it was. I must say the roll-out here was a lot better. Man, a long for the days the net was free and a dial-up connection could stream video....
I didn't know all this. But after the westhost php upgrade in the middle of last month, the site went down and was restored by reverting back to the old php -- for only 30 days before the host permanently moving to the new php.
This meant we had to upgrade within 30 days, in order to accommodate the new php, otherwise we would not have been able to continue to function

When entering a thread there are no navigation buttons at the top of the page. You have to scroll to the bottom of the page to navigate the different pages of the thread. Just wondered if you could add the navigation control group to the top of the page.

What theme are you using, I like the theme, as had it on my previous forum, but I lost that during my first attempt at an upgrade.
Regards Tony
i'll see what can be done.
It's the built-in one, with some color scheme changes. I can try to export it and send it to you.What theme are you using, I like the theme, as had it on my previous forum, but I lost that during my first attempt at an upgrade.

Not sure what you mean, but there's page number navigation at both the top and bottom left of every page. Just below the last post and just above the first.

Thank you, but no it's OK, I would mess it up.
The original forum I had, did have the Introduction page like here. It was a scheme package I downloaded.
Now I am thinking l should search my computer, I may have saved the zip package! I have upgraded the version though.
All the best, Regards Tony
