    We've spent several days rewriting our post-reply page to be more ergonomic. Brand new smilies have also been added to replace the old ones.

    The Quick Reply feature is coming shortly.

    Avatars are in, as mentioned in another post.

    A user-info details display has been added next to each user in a post.

    In the coming days we will be discussing several further additions on the site.

    Hi folks--
    Oover the past few weeks we've been working on a potential new forum layout, more focused on the cursive and on the written word. Below are some screenshots of how it potentially could look like.

    Here is the main layout:

    And here is a look at a posts layout. Besides the font changes, you'll notice that the date/like/reply bar is now always at the bottom (as opposed to sometimes being in the middle of a post!), and the user-info section on the left has been somewhat reworked:

    Feel free to offer your comments here.

    An interesting look. Any particular reason to use that font?
    Wonder if anybody else finds it a little jarring.

    The site is transitioning to another host after which the forum should load significantly faster.

    Stay tuned.

    The migration has been completed. See if it feels any faster.
