I like it, I like it! 
I generally like to have my font a bit larger for reading purposes...so in my browser window I go to "View" and make my preferred change. With the upgrade, it doesn't seem to work. Any ideas?

I'm going to take a guess and say it's because more of the functionality of this board, in it's upgraded state, is server side. Or it might have just been overlooked when the upgrade was written.

My browser (Safari) has no problem increasing the the text size for reading, but I'm not seeing any post preview popup when I hover my cursor. Would that be a PC thing or maybe a firewall thing?
Also, (very small issue), why have some of the emoticons got grey faces now? They look as if they're holding their breaths and have turned blue! LOL
Edit: I clicked on more than one smilie, then they all turned blue, except for the gifs. Hmmm

Same here. My smilies are all yellow though. Only other problem I'm having is the page stpos loading sometimes when I move from one thing to another. I hit the refresh button and it finished loading. I'm thinking this is an ISP problem though.
All in all, very good upgrade.

Go to Tools, Internet Options, Accessibility and click Ignore Font sizes specified on pages - try that.

Question, TS: in the previous system, there was a little 'View Unread Posts' (or somesuch) button up in the top right-hand corner of the Forums page... is there any analogue in the new system? I used it a lot, was very handy. Or is there one, but I'm just missing it?
