Hi Scott,

Yes, the upgraded version is a bit new and needs a bit of investigation, but once you are used to that, it's easy.The new posts are highlighted in RED on the left side of the page.Or do you mean something else?
On the upper right you se the "Bell" icon which indicates that there is a new post

There are no new items.I only created a new forum which is called: Trouble and Issues, it's the last Forum in the list

Cheers!

Great new visual feel to the forum. Totally surprised when I logged on just now. I like the photos of the individual Doors you have chosen to feature at the top of the site. Definite thumbs up.

Thanks very much! I wanted to find a picture that catches the essence of The Doors and found it in this pic.

I used this photo:

A HUGE thank you to Ed's brother JeroenT. Without his help, this upgrade would not have been possible.

I'm glad to see everyone's diggin' the new layout. =)

A ton of work must have been put into this and it was clearly worth it. Will enjoy figuring out the new theme. Thanks Ed and the others involved for all their efforts!

PS: where's the like button? :P

As i move thru the second day of the new forum design, I find it to be surprisingly easier to use and much more responsive.

Brilliant.... many thanks to Ed and his brother!

Really very nice. I almost lost track of you guys but now, here I am and you are all here or at least most of you. :)
Watching the stars till they're gone,
like an actor all alone,
who never knew the story he was in,
who never knew the story ends.
Like the sky reflecting my heart,
all the colors become visible.
When the morning begins... I'll read the last line.

Nice! Arlo is such an icon...not to be missed. I saw Tom Rush last summer in a small venue in Boothbay Harbor, Maine. Maybe the finest live experience of my life... and I saw Cream & Airplane in the 60's! Tom Rush is to me in a class with Arlo--like no others. One of the finest finger style guitar & open tuning players I've heard and his vocal work is as beautiful as it was in 1968. (Tom taught Joni Mitchel open tuning, Tom related during the show, "Then, Joni went on to master her unique open tuning style, and surpassed us all!".)

See these icons before they are gone....
