the new forum looks great!

Looks great. I like the features of this one much better. Yes, you can transfer over the posts. I don't mind doing it, at all.

Here's a short list of things you should look at:
Smiley need a little work.

You may want to get rid of the flash feature in the signatures, could get to be a bit much.

Also, see if you can get rid of some of the features in here. youtube? why?

The calander feature looks nice, but you may want to discourage posting birthdays and private info.

The calendar should also be by submission/approval unless you want a bunch of people just posting whatever.

I'll peek around some more. Looks really good. I'm very impressed.

....

You have to fix the smileys though, I couldn't find one to put at the end of this post.

First, thanks for the heads up.
Second, how in the hell do you set up 2 forums in less than a week?
Third, I still have to do some poking around, but WOW!!! Just wow! I'm kind of speechlss. Nice work.
Fourth, you seem to be missing 1 smiley. Small, green and two fingers.
Fifth, ok, the Emu. wtf? I get it but....wtf?

I don't have any suggestions right now. Maybe later. What going to happen to the 1st one?
I have more questions than anything else. So far, I like it.
