No problem.

The "edited by" line shows up 90 seconds after the first post.  I will be extending it as well as make some other changes to editing/deleting posts.
We will be cruel to Pitt.  And through our cruelty they will know who we are.  And they will find the evidence of our cruelty in the disemboweled, dismembered and disfigured bodies of their brothers we leave behind us.  And Pitt won't be able to help themselves but imagine the cruelty their brothers endured at our hands and our boot heels and the edge of our knives.  And Pitt will be sickened by us.  And Pitt will talk about us.  And Pitt will fear us.

We have modified the topic list for each board so background colors alternate, making it easier to read the listing.

Quick reply smileys and buttons are back!!  If you have any problems with them please let me know.  Thanks for your patience while I worked on this modification.

BTW, chat will be up soon.

Instead of an arbitrary "size"  the new code uses actual font points.  Try the different sizes until you get what you want.  If the given ones don't go up big enough (or small enough) I can add others.

If you want to mess around with font sizes manually you can use the font size drop down on the quick reply, post it to a board then go in and edit it - that will give you access to the [size] code.

I changed the quick reply buttons so they actually show the code instead of just making the changes.  This mimics the feel of the old quick reply box and gives you options like changing the font size that Tito was asking about last night.

The new layout is not being nearly as user-friendly to my Galaxy S 4G as the previous one.  It often hangs for a while as it is loading and I also have difficulty scrolling as smoothly.  It almost feels heavier on my resources, which is strange because I have almost zero problems with 99% of the other sites I've visited.  I should mention, too, that I rarely use mobile-formatted sites.  Most of the time, I browse full sites with ease.

I've noticed the new layout has been considerably faster on my PC and somewhat faster on my iPhone and have had a couple people mention the same thing.  Anyone else having problems?

It's only bad during the initial visit.  I usually navigate pretty well afterward (maybe because it's cached?), but I definitely navigated the previous layout easier.

Occasionally I will be waiting for a thread to come up (second or two) and I'll be kicked off the site entirely. (I just assumed it was because it's me). And spell check doesn't work sometimes (blank) unless I use it in preview.

I have the same issue Tito.  Getting kicked off is a server issue that's being worked on.  Let me work on the caching issues DAE and see what we come up with. 
We will be cruel to Pitt.  And through our cruelty they will know who we are.  And they will find the evidence of our cruelty in the disemboweled, dismembered and disfigured bodies of their brothers we leave behind us.  And Pitt won't be able to help themselves but imagine the cruelty their brothers endured at our hands and our boot heels and the edge of our knives.  And Pitt will be sickened by us.  And Pitt will talk about us.  And Pitt will fear us.

I've adjusted caching.  Keep me posted what happens over the next day or so DAE.  I appreciate it.

Yeah.  No problem.  I'm going to lay off of the phone for the evening and let it charge for the night, but I'll definitely let you know after a day's experimenting tomorrow.

I'm still having that caching issue Kevin we dealt with last year with my ISP @ home.... I've been logging in through a proxy server..... Also is the twitter box coming back?
Make all the jokes you want about dirt roads, poor education and bad teeth, but WVU pulled the rug from under everybody and got what it wanted now and that was out of the Big Least immediately.
