Probably been bought up before, but has the personal assistant tray gone for good? Where you can catch up on your last 10 posts?

aye looks a lot better now. Good changes.
Would still be better if the add reply button was next to clear selection on the reply edit screen - scrolling down a page to get to it is overkill.

Yep, looks much better. Except YOUR posts, RichB.
It seems that the length of your Location and Interests causes the windows showing your posts to fill half the screen on my 1920x1200 24" monitor.
Seems like the site should be doing a bit of truncation of these long personal details to stop this?
Apart from that, much, much better.

The incremental changes that are happening are a bit slow for my liking. Howeve, this is easy for me to say since am not the poor sod who is having to implement them.
If these improvements keep on coming then I am more tyhan happy to accept the changes. However, the big thing for me is if the layout gets tightened up some more. Too much space. Too fluffy in an "MS Vista" kinda way.
Getting better though

Sadly, IMO, the new layout sucks royally.
Can we have the old one back now please?

Realistbear has posted here for years and has contributed to the success of this site, I'm amazed that his opinions and those of others senior posters have been ignored, I've cut down my viewing of this once great site by around 80% since this 'upgrade' was applied.
There seems to be a communication problem insofar as people aren't reading, even a few posts up, before posting.

Unfortunately, the reason that we have not done this is because it's simply not possible. There were too many changes between the previous and newest versions of the forum software to simply use the old design. However, we're working as hard as possible on getting the new design to match both the previous design in terms of usability and all the new stuff that people are enjoying as a result of the upgrade - you'll just have to bear with us until we can get it sorted :-)
Thanks, Wardy, you've got a fair way to go yet, but you're getting there.

See Below:
It looks to me like there is a massive coordinated attempt by the various VIs to engineer a spring bounce by press releases and trolling popular Internet forums such as this.
Following the reported 1.9% monthly rise from a government controlled lender and the (expected) 0.5% rate cut, this forum seems to be targeted by bulls, many joining in the last few day to talk up the market.
The general drift seems to be... 'Savings accounts are paying a pittance so get into property now and pick up a bargain'.
I wonder if the various EA and lenders associations are emailing their members, suggesting that joining this forum to talk up the market would be a good idea.
Note: The above was posted in late January 2009, the following is updated as and when required.

The list of recent forum topics is now back on the homepage, but there seems to be some sort of bug - the title of the homepage is now the title of the latest forum topic.

I have just spent the last two days unable to log into house price crash. Everytime I do it says sign in name missing. Which seems to suggest that I didnt fill in the box where you put your username. The fact remains is I did put in that box. This is a fault that the mods are probably unaware as there is no way to communicate with them unless you sign in. (Hence the reason for the post)
However do not click the button saying sign in at the top of the page. You will be doing for days as I have been doing. Instead simply enter your details on the login area above the forum posts. This seems unaffected.
Mods feel free to delete this post when you have fixed the problem. If I couldnt have gotton in today, compounded with the changes in template, I can honestly I would have left and given it up as a bad job. Sort it out please.

Aye - at least they've trimmed out the white space from it - now it doesn't quite cover an entire screen any more

I choose to not see signatures, they rarely contain anything worth reading and take up too much space. Since the upgrade I suspect the long blank spaces underneath some posters comments are the signature areas without the actual text. Please correct.

Thanks LM, I was getting paranoid for a moment!

Any news on the old skin coming back (the one that is in beta for the current software version of the board before anyway asks)? Traffic has dropped off a cliff and there seems to be a lack of new topics and replies since the new skin came online.

Ludwig von Mises describes the endgame brought on by reckless expansion of credit: "There is no means of avoiding the final collapse of a boom brought about by credit (debt) expansion. The alternative is only whether the crisis should come sooner as the result of a voluntary abandonment of further credit (debt) expansion, or later as a final and total catastrophe of the currency system involved."
