Greetings
For the most part I like the new look, the colors are way easier on the eyes. Is there spell check, as their doesnt appear to be one?

It still underlines "miss-spellings" in red, Maxglass!

But it doesn't seem to give you alternatives, or automatically correct, thank Goodness.

With over two dozen 'bells and whistles' text format buttons, it only gets worse.

"'Keep it simple'" eludes the designers' comprehension, beyond all doubt.

Am I missing something, there does not seem to be a search function for the individual FORUMS?

It appears that you can go to the Advance Search function and scroll dow to a box called "spruce" in the box is the individual forums.

As Tom said yes it underlines a questionable word in red. You can right click in Windows or control click in Mac to see possible offerings the right word. The forum also will do auto correct as you type. I typed cylinder and it did offer the correct spelling which you can accept by continuing to type or click on the x to reject the word, but a gain some words are automatically replaced but I don't know what differentiates auto replacement versus offering an alternative word.

Mike, How do I mark the forums as "read" and set-up so they are marked automatically? Thanks

In the style format that appeared right after the upgrade I notice that unread post titles have a more bold and larger font while read is smaller and lighter font. I noticed at the bottom of the screen is text that says

"Mark This Channel Read"

Guess what, I went into my settings and changed the style and now can't figure out how to get t back to the default style. HaHa

So anyway I need to continue exploring bacause I don't know how to mark a whole forum read or how to make an automatic setting for it. Keep after me on it though.

Scroll all the way down to the bottom and under Road Run Photos Section, there is a "Mark Channels Read" hyperlink in the middle. Click on that and it will mark all sections as read.

Also, in each sub group, there is a "Mark Channels Read" hyperlink in the middle. If you click on the one in the sub group, it will mark that one only as read.

Hi knucklehead 61 - in the login box below the Username and Password box is a statement "Remember Me" with a little click on check box. Click on the box after entering your username and password the hit the "Log In" button. The default if you don't hit the "Remember Me" is to log you out if there has been no activity after 15 minutes when you are logged in.

love the pictures. is there a place where i can click on to mark posts as "read" like on the old forum so the threads don't pile up?

[gitguy]

Also want to chime in and say that this is a really nice upgrade. Quite intuitive and user friendly. Not being a prolific poster as some others it may take a while before I run into a few bumps along the way but so far me thinks this is pretty great!
