I'd forgotten there was an option to change it. I've used red since it was implemented, but took a gander at the blue and bolted back to red ASAP!
The first thing I do when I bring up the forum, well, after the slideshow, which has become a must for me, is to see what's up in the Recent Posts. It drives me crazy when all that's listed are Caption This items. Many times I feel that I may have missed a good post and I don't always have time to dig into Current Talk or Calendar Events, etc. Not that I'm complaining, this board has been a lot of fun over the years, despite my lack of posts. Your posts, in particular, retzev, are always interesting.
