Well, I have adjusted the font color, so that it will stand out better. Notes taken on the feedback about more contrast needed between read and unread posts.

Thanks, Dave Both Forumrunner and Tapatalk are great alternatives for mobile browsing or browsing via your iPad. Not sure which one I like the best....

What I am wearing? Here is my selection for today :-)

Due to the complicated nature of the various upgrades of the software, I have decided that the most reasonable thing for me to do is to have just 1 layout/theme, as all changes has to be done to all themes every time I change something. I know some members prefer a darker background/theme with more contrast, but for now, there will be ony 1 theme. Sorry

Hi all and welcome back All maintenance tasks and upgrades have now been performed and RWG is back online and should be accessible for all members. There are a few changes, as you probably can see. I'll just comment on a couple of these for now and get back with more info later, as some of the new feature have not bee activated yet. As you can see, the forum has a new design. We now also only have 1 design for all members to use (+ our mobile skin + mobile apps). The new design has been selected, as it is a bit more compact and offers a better overview of the forum than the previous one. Some other things have also been bugging me with the previous one, like no default searh bar visible (had to make manual changes to the design to make this work), better menu (all menu items visible at one) and some other annoyances. I have also chosen to have just 1 design to make future upgrades/patching easier. So I hope you all like it. I know some of you will think it is a it strange in the begining, but experience show that all members usually get used to the new design within a week or so Some forums have been merged (Humor and Off topic, for instance) and all brand forums now have their own subsection. I have also changed the knowledge base and watchmaker resource center into one section; resource center. VIP and platinum members have access to a brand new feature: Content spy There is a link to it in the top menu and there is also a small box in the sidebar. Content Spy an application that allows users to view a near-realtime stream of activity, with a full dynamic page of content. Go ahead and try it out. Want access? Go ahead an upgrade your membership That's it for now. I'll get back later with more info and more new features. Please consider upgrading your membership or use our donation feature to the right, as we need your support to cover our costs every month!

Off to bed, but I really wanted to share this with you; Michael Kiwanuka - Getting ready Such a beautiful song and I highly recommend his latest album, Home again

Not even remotely watch related, but I have to say that humanity sometimes scare me; 100 Real Tweets from Homophobes Who Would Murder Their Gay Child Guess a lot of these tweeters got cold feet, as I notice a lot of the tweets and accounts are gone now.....

yeah...these admin types...let me find the ban button and get rid of hi.........

Perhaps some of you have been reading TwoTone's blog in the general discussion area...Well...we have been thinking...perhaps there are other members who could use a blog? "A blog you say? Don't like 'em. Have to take 'em for a walk every day" No, no, no...A BLOG, not a dog. A blog is like your online diary or journal or...well, whatever you want it to be. Write about watches or write about your hobbies. Write about whatever you want. We've got a large audience here who like to read what the other members are up to and if you put some effort into it, you might get a lot of regular readers. So if you are a VIP or platinum member, you can now create your own blog. Simply use the link in the top right corner; Or go to http://www.rwg.cc/blogs to get started. Either to creat your own or to read what others are writing. Nothing much to read right now, but that might improve. Not a VIP or platinum member yet? Well, now is the perfect time to sign up. Simply click here ----> Yes, I want to support this great place and upgrade my membership

I have a couple of members reporting that they have problems accessing RWG using Internet Explorer. Can those of you who use IE regularly here chime in and/or can a couple of members not using IE regularly fire up IE and try accessing RWG?

Hi all Finally, after spending pretty much the entire last month in bed, I am back on my feet and feeling better. First I came down with an infection in the renal pelvis and then, when I thought I was in the clear, I was hit with pneumonia. After I got a new kindey 6 years ago, I am eating meds every day that reduces my immune system so that my body doesn't reject the new kidney. One unfortunate side-effect is that with a weakened immune system, it is easier for me to get sick and when I get sick, it takes longer for me to get well. Hopefully I've had my share for a while now. Because of this, I am almost 1 month behind answering PM's and e-mails. This means 500+ PM's/emails waiting for a reply. From experience, I know that most cases have been solved during this time, so I have deleted all messages If you still have an outstainding issue and haven't received a reply to your PM or e-mail from me, please resend your message and I will try to reply as soon as possible. In other news, I can mention that we will be having a raffle for the first time in almost 2 years after the Raffles (or whatever you want to call it) stopped with Lani leaving the board with no notice
