Forum Upgrade Complete!

It's finally done! The forum has been upgraded to the latest version. It's a similar look and feel but a little different. The BIG bonus - picture uploads are much easier. You don't need to resize them and you can upload multiple pictures at a time. Yayyyy!!! And another bonus is that the forum is much more mobile device friendly now. I still need to look into reorganizing the literature section to make it easier to find things, that's on my list of things to do.
There will probably be some glitches that come up, just let me know if things seem wrong. I will address them as I can.
And if there are any features that you'd like to see let me know and I will see if something is available.

River, my only comment so far -- and it's a minor picky comment

-- is that the Random Images section at the top of the Board Index page is underutilized........a lot of blank space. Not sure about others, but I enjoy seeing the random images that come up each time.
A question - is there a setting I can change so the 'Full Editor and Preview' pane comes up each time, instead of having to hit the 'Full Editor and Preview' button?

I'm still tinkering with the image and Gallery settings. There were 6 images displaying but the margins were too wide and they were wrapping into a second row - that was ugly. I need to get the sizing right to include more there. Work in progress.
If you scroll down past the 'Quick Reply' window there is the 'Post Reply' button that gives you the full editor. I guess it's not much different than hitting the Full Editor button. I could eliminate the 'Quick Reply' window entirely. In the old version you still had to hit one button to get the Reply editor.

OK, I can work with that!

Thank you RiverPatrol for all your effort. The improvements look great and it's definitely easier on a mobile browser
