New Format
Don't know where to put this - but here goes
The way I use this forum - and I suspect many others do too - is to scan the right hand side to look for new posts by date. The old format had those dates prominently displayed and it was quite easy to run down the line and see what was new. The Official Luthiers Forum still uses the old format so you can see what we had, but since this new site only allow 2 URL's, I can't include that one.
Is there a way to isolate, enlarge and embolden the dates of the most recent post on this new format to make it easier to use?
Since we need pictures, here's my last instrument - 2 months ago now. Redwood and Maple

Re: New Format
At the top of the screen when you first open the page, in the dark bar, click "new posts".
It brings up anything new since the last time you visited.
On the OLF, also kind of at the top of the page, click "View active topics".

Re: New Format
For that one, I just use the Attachments when making a post or response. There are two tabs below the box you're typing your text into, Options and Attachments. Click attachments and it lets you attach a picture by uploading to the site. You can then place it inline in your post.
Not sure about when using a picture sharing service, I don't use one.

Re: New Format
I like the new format/site. I appreciate whoever is managing this site. They do a nice job. It's always responsive and is indexed by google.
You can search this site specifically in google by using the site: filter.
Example, put into google search: hot hide glue site:kitguitarsforum.com and you get our site results.

Re: New Format
Is there any way to increase the font size on messages? I can do this with the usual keyboard tricks, of course, but is there an adjustment that can be made in the user profile itself?

My Chrome browser remembers that I increased the font size (<Command><Shift><+> on a Mac) on this site so subsequent visits display in the larger typeface.Is there any way to increase the font size on messages?

Perhaps your browser will remember the setting.
