Hey guys,
I see a few of the old crew are still posting.
I refused to participate in this "new look" website for months due to my disgust they had taken an excellent website and completely changed it - "If it ain't broke don"t fix it".
Not sure how long I had participated (at least 10 years) but to have someone come in and try to justify their job by changing a successful formula left me unimpressed.
Anyway, I need help.
How do I save "Favourites" like on the old website ?
Cheers,
Shane

I updated my bookmark for this site to that URL and I find it works pretty well to replace the favorites from the old layout. All my favorites transferred over with the new site, so I didn't have to do much once I found that URL. The biggest change from the old layout is that it won't automatically mark a forum in that list as "read" unless all the posts in it are also marked as read. When viewing a forum, you can mark all the posts in it as read using the "Mark read" button at the top right of the post list. Next to that is also the button for either adding or removing the forum from your watched forum list. An improvement over the old layout is that the new one doesn't automatically add a forum to your watched list simply by viewing it, you have to manually add it.
