And the cool thing about the 8th edition is that it's the first one where SMNetwork is mentioned. Went through several emails and releases with Mr. Stern about that. He's a very pleasant fellow! (Look for us in the appendix.)

(and where do I find "simplicity"?)

The new installation has five different layouts available to you. You can choose your layout by going to your Profile, then clicking on "Look and Layout Preferences" on the left hand side. You'll see a screen come up that says "Current Theme: SMF Default Theme - Core (change)". Click on the "change" link to choose from the other available themes. Thumbnails are provided.

Also, another new feature that may interest you is that new posts remain new across sessions, so that if you don't get to everything in one go, it will still have the little "new" flag next to it when you come back the next time. I know you requested that right at the end of the life of the old forums.

Wow - looks great, congrats! It will be fun to explore and see all the nooks and crannies

assume it'll still be another day or so before we can call up "unread posts" -

thank you - good work!

Yes, you'd need to visit, go away, and then visit again for the "unread messages" to work. Although for you I would suggest trying to switch your layout to "Simplicity," which focuses most of the screen on recent posts by default instead of the list of forums.

The resume browser still exists as a forum -- that particular forum just acts as a jump link instead of a real forum. You can only see it when you're logged in. It should appear in the ~~Onstage~~ File Cabinet section.

Don't try to jump to it from the drop down menu, the link only works from the board index.

At one house that I worked at, the pre-opening photo call usually included a full company shot with cast and crew. The SM there would get a copy of this shot, paste it to the front of blank notecards and use those for her thank you notes.

One thing that I did on a particular show with very political overtones was to find little quirky buttons with appropriate political slogans on them for each character and leave them on the counter for all to chuckle at and take home.

There is a simple starter Emergency Contact form that I used to use available in the Uploaded Forms forum.
