No ads on my iPad using Chrome either.

Just signed on my Desktop this time using EDGE no problems; and no ADS.

Well well. I guess I slept through all the excitement. All looks good- if a little different. I'll get used to it and forget the last 'new' version.

Thanks! TUGBrian and the whole team!

Logged in on both my Mac laptop and iPhone using Safari. Looks good so far. The only thing close to ads I see are the rotating Tug banners at the top of every page, switching between six different announcements. Clicking the X in the top right of each announcement makes it go away. So it appears now that I'm announcement-banner-free.

Will there be screen color choices and such, as I've seen on other forums? What I see now is pretty blindingly white. Would be nice to select things a little softer, or with more contrast between items. Otherwise, it looks good, so far.

One thing I see that would be nice: In the previous software, new forum thread titles were boldface. After reading the thread, the title was not bold. Made it easy to see what had and hadn't been read, when listing a screen of New Posts. (I usually mark everything Read before leaving, so the next time I visit, all I see are New Posts.) Is there a way to set that again? Currently, there is no difference shown that I see between Read and Unread threads.

Good job, Brian and all. Everybody go take a nap.

“Recent Posts” seems to be missing.
I used “New Posts” to look around but it is not the same as recent.
is that feature coming back?

It seemed to be down for a few minutes earlier this afternoon.

I didn't see the warning of the changes since I have not been on the computer much over the last few days. When I clicked on TUG and saw the change I thought I'd had 1 too many glasses of Baileys! Looks good -so far!

correct, TUG members should not see any ads anywhere on the forum on any browser.

when i make some changes, it will rebuild lots of tables and such in the background and the site will fail to load for a brief moment while that is done (noticed it a number of times this afternoon while I was modifying settings/etc).
