    The upgrade of the forum software is complete and it went well but was time consuming. The new version of the forum will take some getting use to for everyone, including myself, as it has many new features and a new look. In order to get the most out of the new forum software, take some time to explore all the new features that are available to you.

    Some of the new features include:
    MS Word-like message boxes with the same basic hot keys (Ctrl B for bold, etc)
    Format preservation when doing a cut and paste from MS Word
    Quick reply box at the end of each thread
    Similar threads will appear at the end of each thread
    Attachment manager in the control panel
    AOL friendly (login problems should be fixed)

    I also reorganized some of the forums and added a Site News, Newbie Forum and Drag Racing forum.

    I will be making more changes in the coming days, so if have any suggestions, please let me know.

    Wow, this is great, Stefan! Let us know if there is anything we can ever do for you, as you do so much for us. Thanks again, this setup is slick! I like the new reply options like MS Word. Makes it easier. Great job!

    Hey, so this is what they mean by quick reply. I like it.

    Something I seam to be missing is the "view new posts since last visit" button. Is there on of those.

    Excellent work, Steph. I too await the 'view posts since last visit' (I use that feature as my direct link in my favorites).

    Thanks for your effort.

    WILL DO BUSINESS WITH AGAIN!! A+++++++
