I don't like it. Everything seems too cluttered & is hard to read/find. I know it's new, but I don't like it! Others may like it, but I don't!

Well the old software had deemed me a "Senior Member" so I see this as a step backward.

I am silly. The new software has good features and is similar to many of the other message boards out there. If everyone can shrink their signatures it will be much better,

It would be real nice if everything fit on the page so you didn't have to scroll sideways all the time sure slows things down!

It seems to make it easier to check in on specific areas I have posted. I will try to find something I don't like, but it seems OK so far.

I guess it will grow on me after using it a 1000 times ! Overall it will probably become user friendly with more usage.

I agree with the Doc.....the new format sux. Harder to follow, doesn't fit the screen, looks like someone copied it from "another forum".

Just my thoughts

The screen sizing leaves a lot to be desired. I find that have to move things around with the scroll bars all the time just to do simple things like enter this reply.
