Disaster averted. Nearly had a heart attack as I lost all the new CSS, luckily I managed to pull a cached version from my browser.

I've changed how adverts are displayed. If you're logged in you'll never see an advert, if you're browsing as a guest ads will appear. This should help keep the forum clean and gives our lovely guests another reason to register.

I keep pressing "Save Draft" when I'm trying to reply to a thread by accident, I'll probably get used to it eventually and stop pressing it but is it really needed?

It looks great-thanks.I'm sure it's me but when I press on "Unread posts" nothing happens whereas on the old (and other) sites it took me to the first unread post. Am I doing something wrong?

Are you sure you've got the right person? That sounds like Debbie, 22 from Wakefield.

Just an update:

1. Anyone using Internet Explorer 7 will notice some cosmetic improvements to the forum over the next week.

2. The mobile version is coming shortly. To begin with it will be iPhone & Android optimized, further operating systems will be supported down the line.
