    The old forum software (VBulletin 3) was no longer being updated and its replacement (vBulletin 5) was a step backwards.

    Here is the new post button.

    Thanks. I didn't see that link before. I use that more than anything here.

    One more question; will the Gallery be categorized? Or everything lumped together like before?

    The gallery does have the same categories as before. There are pictures that are mis-categorized which I will move to the correct category.

    Im also open to suggestions on how to improve the gallery.

    I have lots of suggestions for improving the Gallery. Should I just P.M. you?

    I've poked around a bit with the interface and have to ask is there a way to change the appearance of the forum, specifically the use of blue background and white fonts on the top menu bar. I find it somewhat difficult on the eyes, also with the very faint line breaks (on my monitor at least) between members posts, its hard to distinguish between each post.

    I would love to see a high contrast view with/ white text and black background as a forum view if possible like the hotrodders.com forum.

    I will look for an alternate theme. Is something like this easier on the eyes?

    Thanks for the prompt response; that is exactly what I am looking for.

    How do you turn off the alerts for the Media Gallery? I've tried a few things, with no luck..
