Dennis Whiteman	As noted on the front page, we have a whole new look, but the biggest new feature so far are these forums, which will allow you to get answers to questions without Kevin or I being around. If you have a problem with a particular TV station or piece of equipment, this is the place to post it. Try to keep your questions within the Forum area related to your post.

Kevin Sherrard	Yes I am so glad we got it out here. There is more to come…

A_Noland	I’m glad the forums where here, but can you create an easier way to navigate to them?

Dennis Whiteman	What would you suggest? There’s a link under main pages and also a listing of the five most recent posts.

A_Noland	I would like it if the blue “Main Pages” or the “Latest forum Posts” would take to this (http://www.hdtvok.com/?a=xdforum&xdforum_action=index) page.

Dennis Whiteman	Hmmmm. So are you talking about the blue headline or the invidividual posts. Isn’t the word “Forums” under the Main Pages blue headline going to that location? FYI, I’m also waiting on an upgrade to the Forums plug-in that will generate easier permalink URLs, namely this would be something like… /xdforum/viewforum/hdtvok.com/1/comments/2/New_Forums/42/ I don’t know exactly what the ETA is, but it shouldn’t be more than a few weeks.

A_Noland	That is easy enough. Guess I’m blind.

Dennis Whiteman	We’re all going blind in our old age. I made a few tweaks today. Namely, the latest forum posts are now in a color box and the headline links to the main forum page. That should help them stand out a bit more…

A_Noland	Cool, Looks good. Thanks…

Dennis Whiteman	The forum software upgrade seems a little flaky so I’m going to hold off for a few days until I have some more time to integrate it into the site’s theme. In the meantime, I’ve hopefully found a work around for those of you using Internet Explorer 6 on Windows. In theory, the reply box in the forums area should always be the same height and width for you, but I’ve actually noticed it jumps around a bit in Safari on the Macintosh. Let me know how and if it works for you…

Kevin Sherrard	Looks good it seems to be working…
