Hello All: I have arrived safely. Revamp looking very good, though agree with DonM: tiny gold on white background is a little hard for some oldies.

I thought most of the gold was brown now, can someone point me to the gold fields.

I suspect those are the buttons bottom right such as EDIT, QUOTE, ?, etc, that are small and NOT bold font.
Also perhaps the other links to 'View ... posts' at top left, and 'Return to forum' bottom left, etc that are small and NOT bold font.
Personally I have always found the 'brown/orange' links less clear than the traditional 'blue' links used on most websites, and recommended by Microsoft.
[EDIT]
Now better after making them all bold, but some (such as EDIT, QUOTE, ?, etc) could be a little larger.
Also the yellow background to the buttons is better.

I caught a fleeting glimpse of the bold orange/brown text (including, I think, Users names) but it seems to have reverted to non-bold again. Or am I imagining it?

They are graphics and I will have to redraw them in order to make them larger, so it won't happen for a while.

Ah, I've just refreshed the browser (CTL-F5) and the bold has come back again. Don't know why it came and went before.

Now that I see all the recent changes I have to say again;
A BIG CONGRATULATIONS TO JANE!!!

Would that we all had some of her great talents.

Just recommended FH to a research employee of a prestigious US Historical Society indicating that, besides all the mind boggling features, support for it through FHUG is UNMATCHED!

Also just tried to use another program to save some "haven't found the link yet" information. What a waste of time! Yeah, I know, should just have done it in FH5.

LOOKING GOOD FOLKS!

:D :D
