Having any troubles? Forum working OK?

I have to agree that the format is difficult...i do not like the change...the print is smaller..and some of us old doggies will prob. just move on rather than take a week or so to get adjusted.MS badger it is sad to see you go ...you bring a unique insight and i enjoy your quality photos...i wish you the best..and believe there is more to leave this site...the color is terrible on the eyes also...im guessing you dont see as many posts because people are still trying to figure out what happened???? why?

I think it was summed up best....if it aint broke ...don't fix it...on the plus side you will have new members-

I am very disappointed. I don't think I will waste time trying to follow this.

i miss on the main forum page that it used to show you the name of the most recent posts. Quite often one of them would catch my eye and i would check it out

I hope you have a lot of things to change because this is not even close.

Thanks for the response and the link @BeN....after navigating for a while i can say there is a few differences that i think might be make it or break it.The first thing i don't like is to get the entire page to fit i have to change my setting,on my computer from100% down to 75%...thats the way i prefer it...too see every bit of detail.maybe just me ,or perhaps others can also offer advice.I did hit the font size and it helped ..but again i cannot see the details on the far right...i have to move the slider back and forth..[something i hate] even in someones post i lose my track of thought when i have to pan back and forth just read something..again im not slamming on you guys i just prefer the old lay out on that level..

Also one of the features i think all of us loved was logging on and seeing who was where and doing what...you could see say Woods Walker was searching for mesgs...and Ms BADGER was downloading a picture...now i cannot even tell when a new post is up let alone have dialouge with someone...basicaly chat back and forth..have agreements and disagrements...i dont know where someone is and what's going on...it was nice seeing ''new post'' by Mac..and others than you could say hey buddy hope all is well and so on...right now i dont know where Jslotter AND Marc Anthony are...are they reading this post also?? taking a nap? out at the bar? or just elsewhere..im having some difficulties but will try to stay with it...

Reset my password on the first try. I guess I'm not one for change...but I like the old format better. This new one seems tough to navigate a find things, maybe because I have to learn where everything is.

I also like the feature of the 5 or so most recently posted topics people responded to...if I was interested in one, I'd view it and respond.

Busy lives and busy schedules make it harder to have to sit and play around on here...it was easier to just sign on and go right to a topic. I'll be back because I love the site but moreso the people on here. Guess we'll just have to see how it goes.

Im not use to this forum yet..But I do like it.. The only problem it gave me was when I was logging in. It said I didnt have the correct password..After trying a few more times it "locked me out." So I just went back to the forum to read what people were saying and I was logged on... Other than that no problems..

OK, it's getting better I think. Today I was able to login using my new password and everything went smoothly. I will assume that clicking on "New Posts" gives the same result as "Posts Since Last Visit" used to do. I don't see any way to reset last visit like there used to be. I often used that feature because after I clicked "posts since last visit" I sometimes got booted offline and then I would be unable to find those posts, so I'd reset my last visit to 12 hours ago and regain those posts. I notice that, looking through old posts, some still have embedded pictures and others appear to have lost the pictures. Price of progress I guess. I still haven't posted with an attached a picture so I dont yet know how that works with the new version. I may try that later just as a test. The "font size" button works great. I also see that when searching through the members list, I can click on the headings of the columns and re-sort the list to alpha descending or alpha ascending and/or display by number of posts or date joined. That's pretty cool. I hope we dont lose too many people due to frustration. Can we now post videos without going through a Photo Bucket type site? Gotta try that,too.
