It's a lot cleaner, if you ask me.

I waited a few day to give it a chance before I responded. I'm a software developer and I'm used to hearing people complain about an upgrade because they have not gave it time. After seeing some of the initial quirks worked out, I like it. It has more modern features.
I'm happy with it. :happy:

ophiura, Where did you come up with that? I've been here since 1999. I don't recall the PM feature ever working. Its hard to abuse something that's not there. This feature is used on just about ever BB, by most members. The reason its not used here is the same reason links are not allowed, plain and simple.

i have a 17inch and the computer downstairs is 15in. and i dont have to scroll. you may just have to change a setting or something

I got on this site on my wife's computer and I didn't have to scroll. I can't figure out what is different in the 2 computers. I checked everything from resolution to font sizes to anything else I could think of and can find nothing. Other ideas would be appreciated. Otherwise my wife is gonna get upset when I have to use her computer.

I have very bad vision, even with my glasses on.

I can see the posts ok in a screenful, but I have to stay scrolled over to the right so that the SWF link bar on the left is not visible. I find this acceptable, I know the rest of the world thinks higher resolution is better. I do appriciate that picture posting seems to be fixed, and that we can now post more than one picture per post. I hope the older pictures can be restored soon, especially in places like the disease forum.

Hey, is it now storing your previous searches instead of doing them again when you request them again? I regularly pull up a search of threads I have previously posted to, and none of the posts I made today are showing up on that search.
Upon experimentation, it works ok if I uncheck "Use Exact Name", but if "Use Exact Name" is checked, I only get old posts, even if I use the exact same string as is in my user profile.

Well, I love the new look, and new features...the only thing I hate is that I've been trying to post for 2 days, but am not allowed for some reason. It says "thank you for logging in Schneidts", but says you may not post replies and things like that. I emailed Bang and the admin., and hopefully soon I can get that resolved. I figured I'd create this new username until then so I can participate. Otherwise, I think the change is definitely good.
