Forum Software Upgraded
Just finished upgrading the forum software to the latest version of vBulletin. That explains why the boards were down for the last hour or two. The upgrade is now complete. If anyone notices any errors or bugs, feel free to post them here.

The little green thing is your reputation which I believe is at ten currenty. The little scale icon beside your online ball is what other users can click if thy want o rate your post or add to your rep.
Besides that, there is the new function of multi-quoting...

Rep is not a good thing.
it's elitist and it causes silly online alliances.

Everything else is dandy, but please, go back to the other layout, with the profiles to the side.

The other thing about restricting who's online info to members and setting it to 100 without needing to scroll and manually do it every time, we're looking into that, to see if it's possible.
Another thing is listing usernames of people currently viewing a thread at the bottom of that thread.. another suggestion I remember someone mentioning earlier.

I'm not a big fan of the rep thing either, though I can't say I really care.

I like the new look of the buttons, etc. Don't much care for the fact that the sidebar to the right has to always be on the screen. I liked it better when the page didn't resize to fit.
The sidebar doesn't do much for how much space it takes.
