Thanks again, Jeanne! My favorite so far is "we_clearblue". It looks quite nice and has a direct link to the "Active topics", so no need to find that link in a dropdown menu. :) And I just noticed that the smilies look better on a light background as well. :D

Any chance to fix the broken links? Do you have a mapping of the old post IDs to the new IDs?

Oh! Thank you for the reminder!! The new forum uses completely different topic IDs and URL structures, but I'll check to see if I can create some type of automatic redirect from the old URLs to the new forum topics! I'll try to take a look at this today!

Thank you! Take a look now. The old forum links should successfully redirect to the new forum urls. :) Here is the thread you referenced earlier: viewtopic.php?p=225801

Wow, you're a magician. And a quick one! :)

Quick tip: if you go into your User Control Panel | Board Preferences | Edit Display Options and change "Post order display direction" to Descending, any topic/thread you go into will show the most current reply at the top, so you don't need to navigate to the bottom of the last page. I believe the default setting is "Ascending." Personal preference, but I'm used to reading long email threads from newest to oldest, so it feels natural to me here as well. ;)

I would also recommend checking your notification settings at User Control Panel > Board preferences Edit > notification options

Thanks to Jeanne for all the hard work!

I finally figured out how to get the syntax correct on my username (duh!) Maybe I can switch to my typical UN and it will propagate to all my old posts? I'll try it...

nope, I can't change UN, that's fine...I think I understand why
