We were getting bombarded by spam so we decided it was necessary to upgrade to the latest version of the phpBB software. I am very happy with the results. The forum will be much easier to maintain and I like the new appearance.

Please take a look and tell me what you think. I know it will take a little getting used to at first but in the long run it was the right thing to do.

It looks nice and I'm sure it will work better. One thing - its doesn't seem to remember my auto-login. I'm pretty sure I have the needed "cookies" settings. It remembers my name/password; it just forgets to log me in.

Also, are there any options that can be used when when invoking, such is automatically look for new posts?

Same for me, I will have to figure out how to auto-log-in. I have that option set for yes but it is not working.

Sam,

What a surprise. We're out on the boat, and today is the first internet access we've had. The forum looks absolutely fabulous.

I also can't seem to get the auto login to work. Requires me to login each time.

Circle on the left turns red with new messages.

Auto login is a know issue, seems to be a cookies setting I need to figure out.

The new format just takes a little getting used to, especially the new display colors. Except for the auto-login glitch, the new forum is fine. The avatar problem I was having is fixed, at least on my computer.
