    In coming hours we'll be bringing the site down briefly for software upgrades, we hope the entire process won't take too long.

    Ω Squirrel says "I like this place!".

    Ulackfocus says "I'm considering making my avatar Ω Squirrel."

    Other than the initial shock from fear of change, this is working out well.

    On the "Forums" screen, I'm not able to distinguish which forums have unread posts as easily as in the previous format (red highlight).

    Thank you for the upgrade. This looks awesome especially on the iPhone. As I said before I go on this site more than Facebook. Thank you again for your questions and knowledge too.

    Just tried on Iphone 5s, GREAT.
    Most of my viewing on a Windows 7 machine though, Not so good on FF, same on Chrome, Best on Explorer, but videos still small (though sharp and very functional)

    I noticed the alerts notification does not show new alerts when "latest" is selected - using Chrome on iPad.

    Could we get an autocorrect feature that changes "Seamster" to "Seamaster"..? I get the image of some waterdwelling hamster each time :unsure:

    Great job guys - much faster on my 8" tablet (win 8.1 i.e. 11) Looks dead smart as well.... I do miss the initial slight different colour on new posts which really helped to guide the eye - is that gone for good? Will give it a good going over on a windows phone tomorrow too...

    Actually, on the 8" tablet running at 800*1280 the font is very small - I don't think that's something I control and I don't usually have a problem reading small stuff. It looks good 1280*800 and Its correct size on a Lumia 1520.

    I notice when I draft a reply I cannot go back into the text and drop a whatchamacallit to enable me to correct errors. I hope that is clear. Regards, bill

    not sure if this was already covered, but the date and time of the post aren't showing up using firefox on mac OS. not sure if that was intentional, but it was helpful to know when searching for specific things (i.e. speedmaster for sale) and not writing someone about a post/watch that sold in 2012
