I'm afraid I can't add much to the technical jargon, but I have to admit that I really like this latest format!  It's a lot like the ones we had when I joined over a year ago.  There's a button (albeit small) to see new posts since one's last visit; links open in a new window instead of advancing the current window and leaving OPShots.  On the topic of links, when we include them here, they're not censored (not mentioning any names, but their initials are a.net).  We can add html code, which makes me assume pictures can be added, as well as image URL's.  I don't see any advertisement banners in the middle or on the sides and the annoying thing that a lot of forums do with "key words" in the text being hi-lighted/underlined and having a tiny little advertisement or whatever pop up when you hover over them (what's that called anyway?  That's so annoying!).  I'm going to have to do a little fishing to learn my way around on the new format, but I think I can manage.  Works for me!  Keep up the good work, Chuck and Mark!
