I'm currently performing an upgrade to Garden Pond Forums, which I am aiming to finish by the end of today. This will update the forum software, the site design and bring some new features to the site. :)

During the upgrade the site might not behave or look as it should, but don't worry - it will be back better than ever in a few hours time!

I will make a further announcement once the update is complete, and provide some more info on the improvements and new moderation team.

All looks good and clean. The posting fonts are a little small, am I the only one that has to squint when I read the postings? The old jarhead is getting old and has problems reading the samll print anyway.

Glad you like it :D If you hold down CTRL and move the scroll wheel on your mouse you should be able to increase the font size a little - but if others are having this problem too I can look in to changing the font :)
