Jack, now that I've used it a few days, I've noticed a couple of things: I've seen where "thread starter" ID has changed from what it was originally; and that post counts have jumped around a little.
It took me a little time to figure out what the black dot on the new/old post envelope meant too. But I'm cooking with gas again.

You don't have to log in every time, if you don't log out and come back to the site, look up at the top of the screen and click "FORUMS" and it will bring you back in logged in.
I too thought you had to log in every time, until I "looked" at the top of the screen.

You don't unfortunately. This software only allows for one name.

I'm not so sure anymore. If this new code is bigger, badder, and faster, and provide all these new handy/dandy features, why can't it accurately monitor what posts have been read? 
It doesn't update properly. If it can't, whats the point?
Secondly, PMs may have to be renamed PIAs.
And just think, two weeks ago (I mean generations ago) we had Santa waving at us.
Lets get it right the first time, and avoid the kind of pitfalls FOMOCO is having with the 6.0.

It can monitor whatever I tell it to monitor. However, I am not done getting the software up and running 100% yet. It's also very different from the last system we had here. If you go to any VB site, you'll see what I mean. It's not a matter of accuracy, it's just that the software is designed differently.
The software is much much faster then the old system, and much better written in terms of security and server load.

I really like the new software/format!
I have one thing I have found annoying though. The email notification box keeps appearing checked every time I make a post. I'm not used to having to go uncheck it so I end up with email telling me someone else has posted to a thread I responded to. Is there anyway to uncheck this as a default in my user profile?
Thanks for all the work that has gone into the transition.

Just got an e-mail from tha board that my IM-inbox was full and somebody had wanted to write me an IM.
How many IMs are accepted by the new board?
It will take time getting used to it, but it seems like some nice SW. I don't come here for the BBS software, I come for the content.
