Well people, what do you think of the new format? I'am not sure about it yet, seems as if you have to click more to get where you want to go, replies to replies used to come directly in an e-mail, now you have to go to the topic page and scroll to the bottom of the topic to get the reply, it hell for us dial up folks, what say you.

I like being able to see all the posts on a thread as you are replying. I think that is a big plus.

I would rather see the message as an email than click on the link and wait for the page to come up.

I would still like to see one list of all of the posts from the last 24 hours.

Overall, I like it, but hopefully Adam has the flexibility to put in the things we liked about the old software.

There is currently a problem with clicking on a link to a post in an email.  It should take you right to the post, but it does not.  Until I can fix that... I have turned on the feature that should mail you the post instead of a link.  That should take effect as of the time of my reply here.

Please be patient as I work as hard as possible to fix all the bugs, respond to peoples comments and implement people's suggestions.

Thank you.

Adam,
We appreciate all your hard work and many hours of work.

But hey, that's why we pay you the big bucks.

Thanks Adam....Seems my comment about the NEW e-mail notifications being  worthless...may have been made too soon...the links fail to deliver me to the correct area 4 out of 5 times....And I gave up looking for the specific post a couple  of times...

The complete  forum update I get daily has not yet shown one single
link... not  a one..

Adam,

Thanks for all of your hard work, it takes time to get used to it, and to fix the bugs.

The feature that I miss is the one where the post shows that a reply was made "today" in bold yellow . My old eyes, even with glasses on, have a hard time seeing the date. Maybe you can make the date in bold letters.

This morning (2/4/05) the notification I got in my regular e-mail took me directly to the Post that Ron sent.    Caused me to jump up and down prase the lord and sing a song...

Seems  Adam ihas been hard at work getting things sorted out for which I have to thank him...   Slowly I am "learning" to... if not like this new format .. at least tolerate it ..hopefully I will soon begin to honestly like it..

Now this weekend project is to add pics to the signiture again... Thst is if I do not go out chasen women... instead..   (like my wife would let me )...lol

Actually, I haven't fixed that yet.  You just got lucky!

If you were already logged in to the site and the forums, the links in the emails have a better chance of working.
