I have found another responsive theme that includes a place for a logo. I like this one's menu better, but am not sure how to place that code (both the php and the CSS into the other design. I would like to limit where the new design uses the sandstone because I think it's dated.

I'll be playing with the other theme in the background, and I'm NOT going to spend another night up to 3:30 am trying to tweak it. I'll work on a few per day, and probably get the new version up next week.

One good thing that came out of the Cardboard outage was that I discovered that there is a TheCardboard facebook page.  :)

As far as reputation goes, I plan on doling out positive reputation pluses like a Mall Santa hands out candy canes...

Thanks to Yvonne for her tremendous work on this site. Thanks also to anyone else who has contributed.

I was worried when the site was down yesterday. It's good to have it back up and running! Thanks!

P.S. FWIW, I'm not really a big fan of publishing the reputation ratings. . . .

Thanks Yvonne for everything you do for the site. I love the idea of a better mobile experience.

One suggestion - it looks like quoted posts no longer contain Author information. Any way that could be brought back?

A real education for me to realize how much I missed this place for the few hours that it was missing... Thanks Yvonne!

The site works fine for me. The cleaner design makes it easier for my old eyes. Less zooming and panning required on the phone. As with any design, there are some quirks that I thought I would point out just in case the observations are useful for the administrators or other users. My regular browser is Opera 40 running in Windows 10. I also found similar behavior in Chrome and Edge browsers on the same Win 10 machine.

1.  Columns disappear if I zoom in too much. In Opera, the Replies/Views and Last Post columns and log-in info on the index pages disappear when going over 150% zoom. In Edge this happens when going over 235% zoom. I assume that the exact level at which this happens depends on the default font lettings in the browser. These zooms levels are adequate for me. However, a person with more significant visual problems may find this a problem. If you are missing these columns, try zooming out a little bit.

2.  A rather wide column on the right side of the index pages is devoted to check boxes. Not really sure of the purpose. I'm assuming it's for the purpose of selecting multiple threads so they can be marked as read. I cannot really test that because I unintentionally discovered that clicking "mark read" without any selections will mark all threads on the board as read. If possible, it would be better if the "mark read" button only worked on selected threads. Anyone wanting to mark all could use the select all box on top of the column. Also, It would be better if the proportion of the screen width devoted to the check box column could be reduced.
