Reply to "Migration to the new forum platform shall take place on Monday October 29. PLEASE READ."

The transition is coming soon. Monday! Hold on to your hats!

I literally have not seen the "final product". Nobody has. It can't be seen until the current forums are migrated to the new platform. But what I've seen, I'd say we've done a good job migrating the look of the existing forums with the software of the new forums. A few text colors have subtly changed, but there's only one thing that sticks out like a sore thumb, this big green button. You'll see it on Monday, LOL. I haven't been able to find where to change its color yet. Perhaps Monday, when I next get together with Dave. Or perhaps at a later time. That will depend upon how many issues are uncovered on Monday. I ran into problems uploading our custom "emoticons" from the existing forums. I'll address that issue after the migration.

There's a new navigation bar that mimics the navigation bars of all the other sites you guys have accounts with. I like the new header, footer, and nav-bar design; they are nice and modern. The "posting" features of the new platform are very modern too, everybody is going to like them. There's a few new features I've included that members will have to give a try and decide whether or not they like them, such as the "clips" feature. We can delete them or edit them as needed. Folks who log-on from mobile devices will appreciate the fact that the new software is responsive, and accommodates various screen sizes.

Nothing is set in stone, this is just a new chapter in the life of a forums that's been around for 18 years.
