Apparantly it is because of the firewall and Norton Anti Virus not allowing pop-ups that I do not have the bar at the top and bottom of the page that has the UserCP, Home and Search buttons. I have been trying several things suggested on the community and tech boards, but nothing has worked, and I do not want to disable Norton, which is the only thing that worked for another poster.
I like the new colors and the look, but I miss those buttons and I also miss the thread titles from changing color after I have read them.
