Re: Ooooooh, shiny new forum!
I never noticed if it was there in the old style, but I see at top left, some hyperlinks to "Board Index" etc. This is a wrong label. It should be "Table of Contents", because ... that is what it is. An Index is, conventionally, at the end of a publication, wherein one finds words & phrases, and a l...
