We will soon be upgrading the forum software to the latest version.

It is going to look quite a bit different but work mostly the same.

You can see how it will work over at the Parenting Forums where the upgrade has already taken place.

Feel free to make some posts over there (you will have to register if not done so already) to try it out.

If you make 'test' posts, rather than actual 'parenting' posts please put the word 'test' into the subject so that I can clean it up later.

Ask any questions either here, or in you posts over there.

The first should be all New Posts since you last logged in, the second is all posts within the last 24 hours.

It may not be there on all pages perhaps?

After a fairly radical change to be 'undecided' is good... most people just dislike change because it's change - if you still don't like it after a few days and lots of posting, then you can say you don't like it - nothing I can do about it though :)

This option does not work - 'Review the complete topic (launches new window)' tried it on a thread a minute ago and it will not open it up
