Holy cow, it's been a long time since I've been here!

It looks totally different! I'm sort of stumbling around trying to find things. I do see a lot of familiar names though - that's pretty cool.

So what have I missed?

... all kinds of minor details.

As for DU, I find DU3 to be far easier to navigate. When you open a forum, check the SOP (Statement of Purpose) before posting. Some of that has changed.

That is the biggest change I can think of. We can also embed videos in every forum

I gathered this was your first visit to the new site. Did you read the instructions and just wing it? If so, were you in sync with the rest of the jurists? Good to see you too
