Well, first off, the look of the new site is good. It looks a bit more professional and I think it may attract more members. It will take some time getting used to where everything is, but that's expected. If we ever get nostalgic for the old site, we can probably go to the Wayback Machine to see how it used to look.

OK, so far, so good. The Xombyte / Xomblurb posting interface is good. Easier to format Text and add links. I don't, however see a way to change SIZE and COLOR. (I tried the BBCodes and they did not work in the preview.)

Adding images is a snap just click on the insert image button and you can place images like this and even format placement of images within text and add a url to make it a link. Here I placed an image of a monkey holding a Happy Birthday sign. As you can see, I aligned it to the left of the text and am now typing around the image. This makes placement of images much better and the overall look of articles posted here will be more professional looking. Why did I choose a birthday monkey? Why not? It was just a random image I pulled out of my images folder. I ike monkeys..and birthday cakes. The image can be used by anyone. I found it on an image site that has a bunch of public domain images, some of which I have ven used in website design. But, anyway, this serves as an example of how you can wrap your words around an image in the new editor. I like this feature.

OK, now I know we aren't suppoosed to post banners within our posts, but sometimes I have images that I post with html code so I just wanted to see if this works...and it does not..I don't see a way to edit html.
