Hi Leigh: The new Nabble web interface is great! Having the K2 and its accessories, I have been feeling sort of lost among all the K3 messages on the Nabble page - most of which are not designated as K3 subjects up front. Scanning through the K2 section now I just found a few useful messages that I had previously missed. The new setup appears to be well thought out, easy to navigate through and definitely a big improvement.
