We are thinking of changing the main forum green box greeting to:

And the New Members' Forums green box greeting to:

What do you think?

One other also agrees if there wasn't the favorites and if the links at the bottom were gone.

I'm all for getting rid of " Want to be a Moderator?" from both.

The other two links don't hurt and can be helpful.

As far as the favorites.... I'm 50/50. I think its a good way for the forum unfamiliar to quickly find something of interest. But since members created the list in 2007, it is leaving out our newer interesting posts.

I would be happy with these. However, I would also agree that anything unnecessary should go such as the moderator question. If you are 50/50 about the favourites, why not halve their screen time, e.g. if you include them in the main greeting box, drop them from the New Members one.

Since no one other than:
  • seaduck
  • agphile
  • asheland
  • agleopar
has helped/commented....

A big thank you to the above, especially seaduck, agphile & asheland, since it most likely never would have happened without their help.

Since no one seems to have anything else to say, I'll move forward with the following modified changes:

But most of all it wouldn't happen without your efforts for which we are all grateful.

Scott it looks wonderful.
Don't know what I would have done without you & your great Forum & all the super members who have been very gracious to me in sharing their knowledge.

Continued success!

I changed the new members forum new green box to a pop up. This way its a little less in your face but the info is there for those who care.

What do you think?

I have always liked the pop up form so think it is good.
