Q, my comments were of a general nature and carefully not directed toward any particular person...just a general comment given many years of involvement with online bulletin boards.
While that may be so, given the context, such comments often only tend to fuel speculation on the part of others as to what actually was done and said.

As it happens, I think that any moderator would be well within their rights to remove such off-topic posts, mine included, from this thread as they have rather strayed from the intended topic of the thread.

Original post deleted...

Should have read further before posting. Cinisajoy and Issybird already covered the issue of distinguishing between modifying a post as a moderator and a poster.

Strayed off topic posts! Rubbish.
petercreaseys comment was a fair one your last few comments are the type that would see a board become quickly a ghost town.

I just read on another site that this new firmware changes the home screen. Does anyone want to post a screen shot of what it looks like now?

Is there any reason not to install this firmware? Are there any gotchas?

Gee, J! I believe I caught some grief by asking this totally appropriate question with respect to another version.

Here's hoping for a response!

I don't believe there are any changes in the home screen over what was in the 4.4.x release. If there are any changes, they aren't obvious.

A wee tick mark appears inside the sync wheel when the sync completes. I don't see any other changes since recent versions, but if someone had upgraded from an earlier version with the old tiled home screen straight to this version, they might think the home screen was new in this version.

(The Kobo server is still sending out a mix of colour and greyscale cover images, I see.)

Do you mean the lower right area that shows either Pocket articles, ads or device-related info?

Oh well, has it worked before?
Nobody really knows how Kobo manages to introduce bugs in such basic functions. I sometimes imagine that the whole firmware is just one tremendously big hotfix now and every new tweak applied randomly affects other parts that seem totally unrelated (to the user and coder).

I think it was not working in 4.4.x.

Which sounds like most complex software that has been around for a while.
