ok what do you all think of this new format?

Personally I don't care for it that much. I do like being able to change font size, color, ect but the actual layout of the board is not as user friendly, IMHO.

Toni I dont like it either .  I like the old way better.  Looks too much like the general main forum. BTW, I like your new avatar photo. 

Why thank you. A friend of mine took it last Saturday when we went to Knoxville for the wedding of another friend.
