So all is done and working now, just fine? What are the new features?

There are a few new mods to the vBulletin board software. One of which is that fabulous new line separating your handle and your text (

) along with some added functionality with the quote part. I actually like it very much.

Kudos to the HOM staff for getting the forum up and running so soon! ^

Another thing to check out is the improved search, no new functionality, but we expect it to work better now.

Great job all, I think one reason so many people are on already is we had so much faith it wouldn't take you the full two days.

Thanks.

Either that or it's just that some of us are a bit O/C and had to check.

I realized that it was a force of habit just to click on the "Flyertalk Forums" bookmark every one in awhile. It never occurred to me, until today that is, that I check FT so frequently.....

It was great to see TB back so early -- congrats to the Tech people.

I do, however, have one request. Can you put the link to "MyFlyerTalk" back on the bottom of the page?

I remember that it was not there originally with the old software, someone made that suggestion, and you placed it there. Is it possible for you to repeat that trick?

Hi Tim, or FTers,
Hitting the " button changes the button from a blue + to an orange - .
Can you explain what this does - is it a slightly different format quote?
Cheers,
Ben

Well done, Tim. It is working again on FlyerTalk. When I was checking on the flyertalk was down yesterday and I didn't chance for reading the thread. How much longer does flyertalk is down for almost 24 hours. Is that was too short for flyertalk down?
