Wow - I too thought I was in the wrong place at first! So far everything looks really cool, and after reading this thread I've been able to find some things I couldn't at first, but one I still can't find is the "Mark all messages as read." I remember it being at the bottom of each "topic" page and at the bottom of the main Pet Talk page. Is it still here and I'm just not seeing it?

Thanks Karen and Paul. Looks like the upgrades are well worth the minor inconvenience of learning the new software.

Wow! I just noticed when you click on the color option, you can actually see a bar of the color rather than just the name in color.....well....unless you're Phred.

Oh, and I noticed the "invisible" thing too and was wondering why I could still see myself, but this thread is very helpful in explaining that I'm only visible to myself.
