First of all, could the the top Bar where on the left are the links for "Home, Forums, Members, Help, FAQs" and on the right side the links for "user, Inbox, Alerts, Log" be customizable ?
For example, since I prefer browsing at 800x600 the right part of the Bar is out of my screen and I have to scroll to the right in order to access the links for "user, Inbox, Alerts, Log". Since I noticed that in the middle there is a bunch of space available, I could move the right side links over to the left together with the other ones and so avoid having to scroll rightwards in order to check my inbox or whatever.

Another thing I would like, is having the "Preview" button right by the post button without having to first have to click the "More Options" one thus force me into a 2 steps process to preview my post before posting it.

I also enjoyed the fast visual check of the old system with a green or blue dot to immediately show whether a poster was logged on Stratics or not. I understand the information is still available under the new system but apparently is not current to the moment I look it up (I seem to read it as referred to in a past tense rather than present tense even if the user is currently logged and not offline). Bottom line is, I liked the green and blue dots........
4)
As in regards the Box which pops up when clicking on the link under a user's avatar, are the text and background colors customizable ? I am asking, because I am having a problem with such a Box. The background color, at least on my screen, is such that I cannot read some of the text that is of a darkish blue, unless I highlight it dragging the mouse over it since the highlighting makes the text white and shine over the dark background.
Without the highlighting, the blueish color of the text blends in the dark background and I cannot read it. Is there a way to change that box colors' settings ? How ?

I understand that we now have a 'quick navigation' dialogue, accessed by clicking on the little diagonal arrow at the right hand side, top and bottom of the forum, replacing the "Jump Forum" button which we had before.
Is there a way to shorten the list to only display the UO related Forums on Stratics so has to avoid having, once clicked the 'quick navigation' arrow, to have to scroll down all of Stratics Forums in order to get to the Ultima Online related ones ?
What I would like to do, is a fast jump to some other UO Forum I might be interested like click arrow, scroll only just a few lines among the UO related Stratics' Forums and therefore go there right away.
I would like this UO Forums limited list also with the "Forum" link at the top navigation Bar, when I access it as it is now, it displays me all of Stratics' Forums and I have to do quite a lot of scrolling each time to get to the UO ones. When I am accessing UOStratics and not the General Stratics, I would like to be able to limit the list to only the Ultima Online related Forums so as to reduce the scrolling I have to do....
Should I then want to browse the general Stratics' community, I would exit the UOStratics environment and thus be able to access the complete list of Stratics' Forums for all games hosted.
But when I am browsing Stratics for UO, I'd like to only read UO Forums and not all of the general list.

With the older system, when editing a post, under the advaced options I oculd be able to also edit the title of the post. I cannot seem to find such a feature with the new system (no advanced editing options under the Edit or More Options buttons...) and I cannot seem to edit the title of a post.
I would like to see this feature back.
That's for now what comes up to my mind, as I will get used to the new system perhaps other things will come to my mind.
Thanks !
