I simply love the post by "Mississippian by Birth and by Choice" to which "USM Sympathizer" referred, but I don't like the new format that keeps popping up on the message board. It's difficult to distinguish who posted what when a previous statement is referenced. Has anybody noticed this change?

The above quote is from another thread. I'm not quite sure what it means; but I have noticed that in the past couple of days the feature of the darkened check for "no new posts" does not seem to work or works erratically. This was a very useful feature for quickly checking for updates. Advice?
