Not that I don't appreciate the hard work Adam did, but I don't like change, as you can see, I haven't posted my picture yet, as I don't have the time to deal with it.  In time I'll get off my butt and do it, but again, I'm getting old, crabby and don't like change.  I think that makes me an average American male.

Overall, I think Adam has done a great job updating the site. There are a few bugs here and there, but how many remember the '68 Vettes ! The one thing that I have a problem with is, when I log onto the site, it takes me to the old 'Forums Active' page. Then I click on a post to read, and it tells me my log-in was successful, please wait while returned to forums page, but it never returns. I just click on the 'Active Topics' and go from there. Whaz-zup wit dat? It also seems like it takes longer to load the pages than before, but that could very well be my 'solid-axle' 'puter system. I used to be able to hit 'C3VR logging in' on my 'favorites' dropdown, log in and go. It's a minor inconvienience, but I'm just wanderin', is it just me ? I still love the site, it has become addictive Mama don't unnerstand!!

Just below the site's main menu bar click on the "Active Topics" icon and then look for a dropdown box just above the list of threads labeled "Show Active Topics since".  Scroll down the selections and then click on "Yesterday".  That will produce a list of threads that is virtually the same as the old "24 hours" list.

 Just like our local gov't. You get used to their way of doing things. And when you get it all figured out, it all changes again. Another change shoved down our throats. I'm not even going to try to figure half of this stuff, sig.pics,etc. And the lay out seems harder on the eyes.

I paid my $199, thats enough to entitle me to Bit#h. Good Day

A really dumb question. Why did the format change or get updated in the first place? Seems like if it aint broke, why fix it? Old farts hate change, especially when it comes anything on the PC. I'll get used to eventually......

Yes, the web site has gotten a lot more busy, and us blind b^$+^%d's have to squint a little more to read the page but but I'am on web tv, I get to look at it on a big screen, not a tiny computer monitor, just takes a while because of the dial up, it doesn't hurt for the site to have a little more splash, might help bring in and keep new people,without new members we won't have anything to talk about.

I think....but do not know for sure...

It was changed so Adam did not have to work so hard  fussing  with
the site....

"IF" .. This is the case then I will not bitch too much  But as another old fart...I have not (as a user) seen anything to cheer about..
