New forum features and main page

[Dennis Handly]

I've just noticed some new features:

1) The main EBC forum page now has a hierarchal listing of categories and boards.

     This doesn't seem all that useful for experienced users since it doesn't remember your last settings and most of all it takes up way too much room.  I was happy with just the category levels.

     But that may be a moot point, since there isn't that much that's useful on that page.  ;-)

2) Each page now has a TKB pulldown menu.  This doesn't seem useful since there seems to be an entry for EVERY KB board, not just to the category level.  Also, a lot of these links point to empty boards, not very helpful!  And there are lots of dups since it only includes the board name and not category and board, that may be confusing.

3) The solved checkmark now has a 3D look.

Here is the announcement to go with those changes:

Now, this by default is not expanded, except by the Welcome category.

Looks like this was backed out.
