Wayne, tell us how the software upgrade is an "upgrade." I am adjusting to it, you have changed the blue color of the posts, so it is more readable now. The ads are pesty, but nothing I will not learn to deal with. What benefits to the appraiser/user are there to the software upgrade, or is more a matter of tech upgrades needed for tech reasons?

Am I going to get something when my post count hits 50,000?

If not will you reset it to zero so people will stop bugging me?

Like a cake in the break room like we get when we hit 25,000 posts? or are you thinking more along the lines of a tie tack or cuff links?

Terrel,

Please let me know the size of the picture (in bytes) and the file type (.jpg, .gif, etc) and I will try uploading a picture with the same criteria and see if I can re-create the error. As you can see picture upload is working for others.

The old software was buggy, unsupported and full of security holes. The new allows much more interaction for users with each other. As you get used to it you will see the many features and ease of use, just give it a while. The colors can be easily changed so that is no big deal and I will work on them as time permits.

From an admin standpoint it is much easier to keep up to date and secure.

The ads are the same number as the old forum, and they pay the bills.

You get a free pass, all your infractions are forgiven.
