Thanks!

Originally when I started working I had only meant to do all the behind-the-scenes changes to update the forum structure and features, but as I was working I figured I may as well update the design to something closer to my "new standard". Only problem is that made the project 2 or 3 times longer than it would have been without! It's amazing how long a particular little design detail can take to finalize... or even code just right!

The beauty is the new system design will let me add new features (like attachments) with a lot less effort at future dates (since this is a major change I had to cut off new features at some point - too much to test/troubleshoot all at once), and then the new visual design should hold for some time... so I won't have to spend more time redoing that in a year.
