Those are "karma" voting options. They may not stick around...

I like the color contrast, has made the fonts more easily readable to me.  Nicely done!  Seems to play better with Internet Exploder, too.

The black text on brown buttons for the 'save', 'preview', and 'spell check' aren't the greatest color choices, but I can make them out.

I was dragged all day out in the sun, missed about 3 important meetings, some security guard confiscated my tool set from my car, A ton of crap is stacking up in my office, 89 pending emails to answer: The heck with that !!!! :eusa_boohoo:...yet somehow, i must say David: It looks spectacular the facelift to the page.

  Now, can somebody please explain all these little new gadgets and features for me?......I really really need some help today. I Just have no mind to start exploring and messing with it, right now. Muchas Gracias.

A couple of notable improvements is the ability to Sign Out using Firefox and the return of Preview.  Thanks!

For anyone who has posted links to topics here on BigBendChat on their blogs or wherever, you may notice that the old links no longer work. The new software generates different URLs for topics, so you'll need to update your links.

For example, the old link (which is now busted) looked like this:
http://www.bigbendchat.com/portal/forum/death-in-big-bend-by-laurence-parent-t9718.0.html

The new link looks like this:
http://www.bigbendchat.com/portal/forum/big-bend-book-reviews/death-in-big-bend-by-laurence-parent/

I am working on a redirect action for the old links to the new links. It should be online soon.....but, it's still a good idea to change them.

thanks,
