I still have a number of problems with the new forum:

1) It logs me off after some period of inactivity (possibly about an hour) in spite of having selected zero for the logoff time. The old forum used to log me off occasionally, maybe once or twice a week but now it's every time.

2) The white background in 'flat' mode is making me go blind. All the other forums I've seen that work in 'flat' mode have pleasant pastel shades for the background, also they alternate the background colour between adjacent posts which really helps.

3) After posting a reply I am returned to the thread list instead of remaining in the thread I posted to.

4) I can't get any of the HTML to work in the preview window apart from the quote facility. I don't know if it would work if I posted it - let's try here: [B]Bold[/B] - am I just doing something wrong?

5) Most of the time when I reply to a post I want the same subject line as that post. Please reinstate the automatic copying of the subject line or allow a blank subject line.

6) The behaviour of the "New" tags seems just as unpredictable as with the old forum, but the other way round. Now almost everything is marked 'New' whether or not I've read it, instead of almost everything *not* being marked 'New'.

I'm using XP SP2 with all the latest patches and IE version:
6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_rtm.040803-2185

Craig, I realise you've put a lot of effort into the forum but I for one would find some sort of 'standard' forum a lot easier to use.
