getting used to the new format is difficult for me. Having to search and find by accident is not my favorite way to learn new software. But I am finding more and more of the tools I used. I especially like the speed. It is much faster. I didn't see any of the vicious complaints. But I agree there is always a nice way to phase a question or ask for instruction. Sorry anyone was treated disrespectfully. It really surprises me that it happened. Everyone has seem so nice and helpful before the update.

try changing your selection to first being first and then use the "first unread" selection at the top of the screen. It has taken me several tries and combinatione to get it right. For a while I was getting an email every time a message was added to but I think I've got that right also. I figured that it was your website so I couldn't crash it by experementing with different ways to look at stuff. Still learning and getting surprised but it is fun

Now, takes a while, so must wait till later, if the day doesn't interfere to, take a looksee. Am still trying to get used to the date order. Latest ones first, etc. especially since some were started early 2010 and before, but I'll get there. Question, would it be podssible for programer to put line in so when you are on page 5 after reading 1-4, you do not have to go back to 4,3,2,1, home? Would like a shortcut to next topic I guess is what I'm trying to say. Breathe deeply and stay sane.

Patrice, thanks for the new look. There will ALWAYS be naysayers when change happens. I say this to the members; Stop your bitching and learn the new board! I love the larger font as my aging eyes don't work as well anymore. Do you people know how lucky you are to have a moderator who has worked hard to accomodate our requests? High five, Patrice!

I have to admit I was not too thrilled with the new site at first, but it is getting easier to use - a little bit at a time. I'm hanging in there - I enjoy the board too much to give up without at least giving it a fair try.
