New look coming to the site

[rawTOP]

Just a heads up that if the site changes it's look dramatically not to be concerned. The software that runs the site will be getting a major version update. I won't upgrade to the initial new version - I'll wait a couple, but it will happen at some point in the next few months. When that happens…

• The look of the site will change somewhat (not sure how much)
• You will no longer be able to login with your user name - you'll need to use your email address
• "Status updates" will no longer be supported (e.g. the twitter like messages that are in the sidebar of the home page)
• There will be changes to the tagging system.
• The "editor" you use to add messages to threads will change.
• You'll see "..." when someone is typing a new message, and then it will appear without needing to refresh.
• (and other changes)

I'll post in this thread just before the upgrade. I will probably wait until late April to do the upgrade…

Thanks for the heads up.

I presume that the tags that exist before the update will still exist?

Why will we need an email address instead of our usual nickname?  Is that completely necessary?
