Title: ...and we're back!

That went smoothly!

I have to install a different video embedding mod, will do that later tonight. Aside from that, please let me know if anything else doesn't seem to working like it used to, and I'll look into it. Thanks!

I miss the old "Unread Posts" and "New Replies to Your Posts" links.

I see the links right under my name at the upper left. Are you not seeing these?

I see them - they're up higher than they used to be, right next to my avatar.  Wouldn't have found them without your comment.

Most mod packages from v.1 don't work on v.2, and those that do have to be reinstalled. Before I got anti-spam mods installed, I got 7 spambot registrations from Poland. Hopefully the new mods will be as effective as the old ones at keeping the pests out.

I've also installed Simple Audio Video Embedder which is described as "An auto embed media modification for SMF that takes links for popular video websites and adds a player directly into the post or bbc area of your website." But so far I don't see it working. I'm not surprised that past posts aren't showing up as embedded, my concern is that I don't see any button for a player in the posting area. There must be a way to make this happen, the mod installed without a hitch. I'll have to investigate.

I saw the changes before I saw your thread, so I wondered if my Mac was too old to continue to view the forum properly.
Looks good though!

It looks different ....  :-\  Almost as grey as I look, I miss our old baby-blue.

But thanks for doing this so quickly and well, Dave.

This is the default theme. There are some other pre-programmed themes available, including one that looks like the old 1.x default. The problem is that if the author of an alternate theme doesn't keep it compatible with SMF updates, then it can stop working properly. So I want to keep the default. But I'll see if I can give users the option of changing the theme.

It's ok, I'm getting used to it. Shades of Grey are all the rage in the US, right?
