While I was surprised by the new look forum, I have to say that it is "growing on me" (this is a strange way of saying I like it ). This new forum has a few new features that are really nice.

1. The ability to receive notifications of replies in a Topic - A lot have asked for this over the years and now it's finally available, I'm sure that there will be quite a lot of happy faces out there.
2. The "live" preview - This is very handy for me to see up my spelling mistakes instantly!
3. The snazzy new look of the forum.

#3 took a while for me to adjust to the look, and the feel, but now I have gotten used to it, I really like it.

Well done Captain Sim.
