One possible suggestion: I noticed that clicking a link now takes one away from the forum completely and to that other website, instead of just opening another tab automatically for that linked website. Could this be changed?
Andy, I've added the extension to force all links to open in a new tab.

Chas.
And it's working great. Thanks Charles!

FYI. A workaround is to right click on the url link. I don't know about older browsers but in IE-11, Firefox, Chrome and MS Edge when I right click on the link it pops up a menu that lets you select "open in new tab", "open in new window", etc. If you want it to go to the new tab without clicking on the new tab, there should be a settings option for the browser to specify something like, "go to new tab", etc. For example, in Firefox, the setting says something like, "When I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately"

Re: The Forum will be down for a software upgrade/migration

Good job Charles, and thanks for the hard work! I can relate personally to what you went through. I like the Quick links style as it allows navigation from any page. I think with the tabbed version, you had to be on the Index page to see things like 'see your posts', etc.
The forum looks and works good here.
