Did the look of the forum just change...

Constructive topics of interest related to aviation that do not match the other section descriptions below (as long as it is somewhat related to aviation, flying, learning to fly, sport pilot, light sport aircraft, etc.). Please, advertisements for Viagra will be promptly deleted!"

Yep it changed, could be a forum software upgrade or just a visual interface upgrade.

I've noticed other forums that use the same software changed recently, too (not all at once, though). I wonder if Tapatalk is supported now.

The ads embedded in the threads kinda suck.

Oh good, it wasn't just me. I was trying to find how to find the new posts and finally found it under the Quick Links. Otherwise the forum looks good!

Yup, upgraded to version 3.1. It needed it. It is now fully responsive, which means it looks great regardless of what device you're using to look at it - even your smartphone!

I tried to install the Tapatalk extension but it didn't work.

I did add a new Youtube feature, now you can embed Youtube videos - I'll test on this post.

Sorry if you don't like the Google Ads, but it helps to pay for the cost of hosting :lol:

There are a ton of extensions available, let me know if you want me to install one:

Happy New Year everyone and a special thanks to Paul for moderating.

We'll obviously get used to it, but is there an easy way to put an "Unread Posts" button on the upper right again?

It's now under the "Quick Links" button, just below the logo. To answer your question, no, nothing is easy with this software (but it's free, so I really shouldn't complain) :mrgreen:

FWIW. I just save the 'unread posts' link as a favorite.

I found it quickly, but "upper right" seems to be a convention, and what I'm used to.

But not a big deal.

That's what I did, Dave. Thanks to our site owner for the PHPBB update - we'll all get used to it, and it does run smoother on my Android smartphone.
