Dear Sandy and gang,

Could you tell me if its possible for me to have the option to simplify the forum pages?

For instance, as I write this a bar aboe the text offers message icons and font sizes, whilst to the right little smiley faces abound.

However, I dont intend to ever such options in my posts, so is there some way to simplify the screen and take the option not to use any options?

I would also be grateful if I could set my preferences so that the order of threads is not determined by the most recent post, but rather in the chronological order of the first post (a la the old forum system). The trouble with this new method is that I have to go searching for recent but unresponded to topics, wheras before I knew where they were from memory.

While I appreciate that you have gone to substantial troube and effort to provide us with these new features, I personally find them to be more trouble than they are worth.

As the old saying goes- stop the world I want to get off!

Thanks,

Steve Ellis

P.S. Will the forum messages on new revierws be of the old style or the new?
