[Elecraft] Nabble: new look and feel (if you read the Elecraft list on the web)

[TF3KX]

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.
