Password

Your existing password will work on the new CSN website. However, we recommend you take this opportunity to update your password to enhance security.

Replies

On the previous CSN website, if you replied to another comment, your reply was displayed directly underneath the original comment. On the new site, all comments, including replies, will be displayed chronologically. Users will know which comment you are replying to because the body of your reply will include the content from the original comment.

Highlighted Comments

In each topic that contains new comments, there will be a comment that has a blue box around it. The comment above this, is the last comment that you read. The comment in the blue box and all comments after it have not been read. If you have read all the comments in that topic, you will not see a blue box.
