The more I view the new board, the more I like it. I really enjoy reading the views expressed.
My one suggestion is a plea for people like me in time zones a long way from the US.
Would it be possible to keep the topics in the 'Today's active topic' for longer than 24 hours please. This may seem strange but I log on in the evening - just after the board has been emptied!
I do not know the technical difficulties of this, but in a perfect world, they could stay on for 24 hours and drop off on a rolling basis.
Just a thought.

Please keep up the great work
