Nothing wrong with change but I find the light blue headings a little hard to read
one step ahead of the herd

Don't worry folks - give it a week or two and you'll know the new forum like the back of your hand. I think this is way better than having virus warnings coming up. It should also be more secure.
It is often said "Change is good" A big thanks to the owners and site developer.
PS: I have noticed the site has sped up a lot from last night.

Thanks for the feedback drillfix.
There were a couple of speed issues last night straight after the changeover. By default apache had a low number of max connections set which were gobbled up by the masses of js and css that vbulletin requires! Some js is now being served from Yahoo, so that has also helped.
As for code optimisation I will probably install APC instead of Zend. Will wait for a day or two before I get more site performance stats in so I can measure the actual benefit. I think that the problem last night of low apache connections was the main cause of the slowdown you experienced last night.
As for the network, it should be quicker for the majority of us kiwis. Here are my pings and traceroutes (currently from Tauranga, NZ):

Because she is a woman. Next time - marry a man.

I think Ill get used to it but being an old luddite myself I will need retraining. I have always used search function by entering ticker i.e RDR and then viewing by posts. Today I enter tickers and "no results found" is all I get. I even searched "PRC" same result. Can someone help me here.

Hi whirly,
Yes I can see this is a bit of a problem. The new version of the board has changed the way the search works. I'll look into it.
