Your upgrade to the new forum software has apparently gone without any major issues. At least none noticeable or otherwise affecting this user. I don't know if that is a tribute to you and your staff or to the upgrade folks who wrote the software.
I didn't notice if it existed before I whined or not, but I now see that unread messages are bold, making my issue with not seeing the "new" flags moot. If you added or changed that setting, thank you.
Anyway, good show.
