Hello Ryan,

Things are looking fancy & I can even post pictures.

The old site had 2 good features that I am sure the "resistant to be a nerd group" among us miss. I do. It was easy (1 click) to switch from the forum to the swap site, and it was evident when new posts appeared just by the text color. Often a new post did not pertain to anything you would normally look for but soon had great meaning just the same.

The new site is great for the facebook gang who are gona build something some day & will prosper for sure but I am afraid it will loose some of the folks who actually work on their cars & have too much oil on their hands to spend the time on the computer unless it gets just a little more straight forward.

I am usually on the other end of some wiseacre having a great idea that I can do all of the work to implement so I sympathise with you. These are just the thoughts of a few of us who really appreciate your efforts.

Thank you.

Jack, thanks for the encouragement. As time runs and we get a chance to evaluate and take feedback, I'm sure there will be changes...

As for read vs. unread threads, the threads you have read have a regular font weight. The threads you have not have a bold font weight.

On top of that, the little icons tell a story as well:
