It sure will take a while to get used to. It does tell you how many people are viewing a particular forum at any time. That is pretty interesting.

Had some problems logging in but I guess it was my fault. As other posters have said board will take some getting used to. I don't know if its just me but when I click on emoticons the window pops up but I can't see all of the faces.

Try using the quick scroll feature on your browser. Speaking of which, there are like, a hundred emoticons now.

Some avatars have disappeared, like mine, and I've been unable to download a new oneso far. Hopefully these little things will get ironed out quickly.

I like the appearance of the old board better, but this one has more bells and whistles (I think you can download videos directly onto posts now), and also has more weapons to combatspambots and trolls.

If you notice anything else let me know so I can notify the tech folks about it.

This will definitely take a while to get used to. To me, there's too much white on the sides, but thats my personal preference. I like some of the new features though!

Don, I'd say it's a little easier on the eyes (mine anyway). The font for the post texts is a little bigger. Seems like the post text font used on stormfront.org.

Tonight was the night I discovered the new design. I had to log back in and it worked on the first attempt.

Menelik, I like that "wave" emoticon.

I'm pretty sure the gray sides will be back soon. I'll be telling the tech man some of the glitches tomorrow. This upgrade caught me offguard like everyone else. I knew it was coming but didn't know exactly which day it would be.Edited by: Don Wassall

also, the old one kept me logged in indefinitely as long as i didn't use another pc to log on, whereas now i seem to be logged out automatically each time i close the browser. (yes, i do have the proper box checked in preferences :p)

Confused about how to respond directly to someone's post. For instance, I hit reply to Jaxvids post above and that post was not part of the screen that I write my post in if that makes sense.

ClickQuote to havesomeone else'spost show up in yours, same as before.

Or, Post Options gives a menu with a few options including quoting.Edited by: Don Wassall

Yes, the grey sides are making it a lot easier to look at. Seems more like the old board!

I have a cable modem and the pages are loading slower than usual. Is this happening to anyone else?
