[DeepBlueGXP]

It's almost here

We've been involved the final step of the color programming and at least 10 or so who have been testing the features.

Thanks to the hard work of Sly Bob's son Chris for the color mapping. 

The new forum includes many new features that will enhance your experience with Kappa Performance.

New features

The forum itself loads quicker do to a new behinds the scenes loading process of images called slice.  This is faster due to less server requests for files. 

The basic layout of the forum remains the same so you won't be over burdened with having to learn how to use it again. 

Menus: What you will notice right away is that the options and buttons are now rounded, there are mouse over features that allow you to see what you're selecting.   

Forum Help menu

WYSIWYG Reply - "What you see is what you get"  Responses to threads can now be displayed, in real time, the way they will look when you select different font, sizes and colors.

Selectable themes based on your color preference.  This is located on the right side of the screen below the vendor banners and who's online. 

The forum banner has been made transparent so which ever color you select, the color will appear to be integrated into the banner.
