It's easy enough to change back, as the instructions read, go to the bottom of the page and use the drop down to select the version you would like.... the old style will be Chevy37

@69impalaconvharv where are you attempting to reply to a previous response? In a thread either of these links highlighted below should allow you to reply.

So there is a new version of the next generation style that you can choose starting today.

In the bottom left style chooser on any screen you will now see "Next Gen - Alternate"

I think it does a much better job at getting rid of the white space that some members complained about.

Let us know your thoughts.

Am I just missing it? Is there a Go To First Unread box in the revised style?

It is missing and we are adding it back in a future update.

My apologies.

The email that gets sent out when a response is posted to a subscribed thread is not working properly in Thunderbird 45.1 The URL is listed, but the (clickable) hyperlink is not working.

The Hyperlinks are working in other messages. This did work before the upgrade.

The thread locations are no longer links forcing a copy and paste operation.

Tonite when I tried to reply to a post using phone, kept getting not enuf characters message.

Also the BIG red bold notes that in2pro put in the New Member section got shortened and shrunk and no longer stand out.

And have to log in each time whereas before Firefox remembered it.

And like some others, just not big on change w/o what I perceive as noticeable benefits. That's why I still use Word and Excel 2003.

And don't get me started on Windows 8 & 10.
