Tonight at 9 PM Eastern Time in the US the discussion board will be taken down in order to perform a significant software update. The board will be reopened as soon as possible, but no specific time can be provided. It could be as short as an hour, but the possibility of problems during the update cannot be ruled out.
New features in the software update:

The links I entered in the post I just made are not clickable like they were before. What't the deal? Do we now need to use HTML code to make clickable link?

Bare URLs do not work right now. A fix shouldn't be too difficult and should be available sometime tomorrow. In the meantime, the simple workaround is to use the [URL] code, eg:
[URL]http://www.overthere.com[/URL] ------------------ --EvC Forum Administrator

Tried that - didn't work, as in my "who are you" thread posting.

The software that generates the HTML for messages has been updated to use style sheets in order to conserve disk space. The font sizes have been slightly reduced. Feedback concerning readability would be helpful.

Hi John!
The colors should not have changed. By message threads do you mean the page where you're now reading this? I'm not seeing the problem you describe in either IE or NS. This could possibly be a browser cache problem. Does the problem persist if you shut down all your browser windows and bring up a fresh one? ------------------ --EvC Forum Administrator
