I agree with Patrice whole heartily. I am a webmaster and forum administrator for another group I belong. And as in those roles, I hear all the complaints and very seldom do I get any positive feed back. I have poured countless hours into those projects as the developer, spent many nights without sleep just to hear negative comments when people have not allowed for a learning curve.
Sure, the old board was simple to use just because we were accustom to it. Think of it this way, remember your first car? Not much to it, turn signals, wipers, manual windows, and an AM radio. Now cars have power windows, remote mirrors, park assist, heated seats, cruise control, satellite radio, blue tooth for your iPod, blue tooth for your cell phone and the list goes on. Once you have learned the new tools, you don't want to go back. I know I won't buy a car that doesn't have the options I want.
So, in the mean time, I will continue to figure the new board out. There are a couple of reasons why. First, I have made several friends and that would not have been possiable otherwise. Second, I have learned so much from others on this board. It amazes me, when someone asks a question how quick the responses are to solve the problem. And, all though I don't always respond, I just absolutely love the pictures showcasing ones work.
