Agreed

So what do you do? -I work for an investment banking firm. Oh okay; you are like my brother, he works for Edward Jones. -No, a college degree is required in my profession

Reality hits you hard, bro...
 

Hey Patrick,

I'm also very appreciative of the new format. Very clean and loads quickly.

I hope you don't mind but I'd just like to make a small suggestion as you improve on this format over the next few weeks - can you do something to make the new word more conspicuous for new posts? Right now, it is just below a response's subject and in the same font as the rest of the post. If you made it red or something, it would just be a bit easier.

So yeah, just throwing some stuff out. But yeah, I really appreciate this site.

Agreed. This is the first thing I noticed as well.

The only other thing that stuck out to me is that posts kind of run together - I know each is separated by a light blue/grey box, but when you read posts (at least for me) it just looks a bit messy. Maybe it has to do with the author of the post being at the bottom, so it gets confusing.. not positive, but it's something I noticed.

It's up in the right corner, under the "Search" function. In the menu. . . :)

now your inbox is in the upper right hand corner above "Your Account". It will display if you have any new messages or you can go to your inbox by clicking "message".

thanks for your patience, Patrick
