As for pics, capecod, they can be no longer nor wider than 90 pixels (no larger than 6.0 KiB); at least as far as a profile avatar is concerned.
GREAT JOB, everyone involved!
Yeah, the site looks great.
How do you get an image down to 6 kb for an avitar? Been messing with Photoshop for half an hour, trying jpg, gif and png formats with a variety of options.

Thank you... but, as you can see. I got it there.
I just dropped the picture on the desktop and kept reducing it until it was accepted. The third try got it.
Thanks again...

Place it on your desktop. Open in Paint. Reduce by 10% until it fits.
When you hit Submit, the site is slow so it will take a bit and either notify you of the parameters or tell you "updated."
If rejected, you must do it again... and again... and agaun... until...
(If you don't know Paint. it is in Accessories - Save in jpeg - Edit: Home - Resize - 90/90 or just 90 in Horizontal if a newer version. (I forget where the transition was made but it does not matter.)

The old forum still seems to be open, for how much longer I don't know, just in case you didn't get everything you wanted to get copied.

Mark and CD -
The old forum did not require a log in to just view threads and posts but the new one does require a log in to do that. Will that remain the case for the new forum? Thanks.

The texts of conversations that were still going on Friday and Saturday have now been re-posted.
Feel free to pick up where you left off.

Question for the administrators: on the old forum one could see the topics/conversations without actually logging into the forum.
With the new forum, it appears as though one must log in first before seeing anything.
Is that accurate, or am I missing something?
Thanks.
**edit** - my apologies to Ronfitch for duplicating the question I just now saw he already asked.

Right now that is the case. You have to log on to the Forum to see everything. Thanks for asking.

Hats off to all the people who worked on upgrading the site. Colorful, polished, modern, puts the group in the big leagues.
Funny what a difference having a great web page makes without really adding much to content.

Currently it says I am "not authorised to use this feature" ...
The above may have been overlooked since it was on the first page so bringing attention to it.
Also, will there be an archive section, or will threads just stay in their section indefinitely (eventually with 100's of pages of threads in "Football Talk") ... ?
edit: Nevermind on the PM's, I see that they have been 'unlocked'
