Sweet Eadz,

I had the pleasure of coming into the forums last night, and seeing the "transition" - That blue "kde-like" look was, let say, very COOL, and the whole site was running, shall we say, extremelly fast. I barely had a chance to "guzzle" a drink of coffee before the page I asked to be displayed was up, now thats fast...

You must have found some "coding" loops, or something, in this new version [?]

As for the "new look" on the forums, I came in this morning, and the look was gone, i.e. back the way it was before - I kinda thought it had a more "polished" and "professional" look-n-feel to it - glad to see you kept it as an "option" in our "profiles" - it sure blows away the forums I used to "run around" in, in Windows...

And the speed of the site, and pages being displayed is really nice... Unfortunatelly, with this increase of pages being displayed, it is cutting down on the amount of my coffee intake... ( this could have catastrophic reprocusions here [giggle] )

Thanks Eadz, for the forums, and for your tireless work on keeping them "up to date", and lookin good ( not to mention, the "cutting-edge" of the sites displays )

I like the blue one fine, but the old one seems just a little bit different from everyone else's phpBB forum. To me, the blue one just looks like everyone else's generic. The main problem I have with the blue is that it doesn't have tabs at the top. I do my best to help newbies with basic questions (being completely inadequate in my own knowledge to more challenging issues). Consequently, I would often direct them to answers in the WIKI and buglist. If they are running the blue version, they will have no idea WTH I'm yammering about, and will be less likely to look things up on their own. If you're keeping the blue as an alternative, would it be too much trouble to integrate similar tabs across the top to assist in helping others out?

Thanks for maintaining what is undoubtedly the best linux forum I've seen, to match the best distro I've encountered.

Got them now.

I have two wishes, which aren't new to this update, but I use the opportunity:

a) The default-font is very small, so I have to hit (Ctrl-+) and (Ctrl--) in my browser, joining and leaving the knoppix-forum. Setting my prefered font-size in my personal settings would be great.

b) When I 'mark all topics read' I get a 'putting you back to knoppix:networking' or whatever category I'm in.
Now: usually, I don't want to browse any further in that section, after marking it 'all read', and guess most other users will leave the so marked section too.
Couldn't we be moved to the main-forum-overview instead?

The 2 choices for themes in the profile section:

Morpheous and fiplain are not the theme that I was using before the upgrade.

Any chance of getting the original original board theme back?

Thank you in adance.
