Should've kept the old one IMO. This one _seems_ to load a bit slower (dial up connection) and it is much busier without any practical increase in functionality (there's more functionality, but is it needed? I guess for those that post a lot of images and use html in posts it is) It's also really hard for me to hit the buttons on the touch screen at my gym.

The old one was simple, but effective. Marriage with S2Ki is a wash for me as I don't visit that site.

Not trying to be mean, but you asked.

It is a bit busy... less elegant than the old board. Also, before, threads I clicked in would be highlighted in a different color, so I knew I had been there before, but thats not the case with the new software. Can it be set somewhere to do that?

Ooh... I can tell I'm going to like using "Ignore Lists" a bunch. Guess who I've added already!

Ratings: in the pull down menu, bottom right.

UL, buttons ARE changing... currently using the default ones. They will be less obtrusive.

And our buttons for AIM, ICQ, Yahoo Messenger, etc? Are they coming back? Unfortunately, the "Buddy" button is a little confusing as it has no correlation to AIM.

I am sure there is reason for the change behind the scenes, but from here it is not a thrill.

Seems slow even in the wee hours, all the imbedded images changed to links, maybe intentional.. so I have not figured out images yet. And a very busy presentation.. with a tiny font to enter posts.

I know you guys have worked hard to get here, so I am sorry to say.. I am having to work to use it and that is a total turn off. I was fine the way it was.

I like the new site--now that I've found where the regional groups are. Will the page graphics not load more quickly once they're in the browser cache?
Thanks for all your work--and for all the great info on the S2000online site that really made a huge difference in my getting my Stook at a great price and just the way I want it--TODAY!!

Oh, bliss!

Thanks for the comments, keep 'um coming. Yes there are some warts and we'll get those cleaned up in the next day or two. The last software upgrade we did took a bit of getting used to and I have to say this one was much bigger. The end result will be more like the old layout than it looks right now.

If there is something bugging you, let us know. We have a list and will be working through it. Don't feel you'll offend us if you complain about something. Just let us know specifically what it is and we'll try to get it sorted. We hope to get the major complaints fixed up tomorrow. Please be patient as we are going to be refining it for a few days yet.

Thanks
