Is it safe to come out yet?

MeaghanandMichael

I feel like Dorothy stepping into the land of oz, but in a bad way I miss my old boards. I am cranky now. Especially because it is no longer P&E, just E.

Awwww an era come and gone.

This is really bizzare. I'm sure we'll get used to it, though.

It's REALLY slow, but I'm hoping it's just a kink and will be worked out?

My signature is from, like, a month ago...yet when i go to edit it, it's as it should be.

Welcome to the Kinky Boards!

I'm glad!  Ther old boards were unwieldy and unsearchable.  I'm all for change when it's for the better! 

P.S.- No more posting code?  Whooppee!

I hate the new board. I liked the old one because I could open a new window and not have ANY ads or anything. This new format is chock full o'graphics and crap - and is taking forever to load. It's going to take me half a day just to respond. I like that they've made an attempt to move in a more user-friendly direction, and I know they are a business and need the promotions - but still - I'm not really happy. The last thing I need is a column of links on one side and ads on the other.

Ditto on the middle of the day move - seriously? That's when the majority of the posting (at least on this board) happens.

What's with the old signatures?

I don't like it...It is super slow.  It will take some time to get used to...

Eri - I saw on another board that most people who keep themselves logged in have old siggies up. Just log out and log back in and it should be normal.

Thanks for the tip Shaz - I'll give it a go!

Meaghan i love your siggy!! :-)

Apparently I am a bronze poster without even knowing it!!! Also, I like that my countdown to the weekend is bigger than it was on the old boards. You can see the olive in my martini better.

I am sure I will get used to it. I like the private message option on this format.

It is just me, or when you collapse the Knot TV the video keeps playing? It's making everything run so SLOW!

And FAIL Knot for doing this in the middle of the day, lol

MeaghanandMichael

I am just being cranky, sorry the debbie downer nature that I am recieving this in...

I am sure once I figure it out and the kinkyness is gone (haha Shaz) it will actually be better. The ad crap is pretty horrific though.

At least the knot tv has a collapse option so I can hide that again.

erilouboston

Like the old boards, if you right click on the MASSACHUSETTS - BOSTON link at the top of the main page, and choose "open in new window" the knot tv nonsense at the top goes away.

BUT - you still have to deal with links you don't need on the left (why can't they just have the drop down menu like before?) and annoying ads that of course, load first, on your right.

Anyone know how I get my pictures to show up again? Not fun

Meghan--love the Wizard of Oz reference.  It is so appropriate!  I

HATE this...can it be any slower to load?

And the stupid Knot TV doesn't go away...it just gets smaller and keeps playing...annoying!

Bring back the old Knot!!!!

[QUOTE]It feels like when you get a new cell phone and you are all like I HATE this cell phone it doesn't work and it's not intuitive and I can't type properly and I HATE IT. Then after a week you've figured it all out and poof, you lurrrrve it.  I suspect we'll all adapt and be in lurrrrve soon enough. Is it weird that I am feeling bad about the number of posts I have? I am not a newbie! And I'd also like to point out that I joined in 2006 when I was writing freelance for bridal magazines. Read: I am not a wedding stalker. And just because I can :

This is really slow.  Is it going to stay like this or will it get better?  It's really hard to post because everything is sooo sloooww.. 

DharmaChick

Weird, this is kind of like the Nest setup.

DharmaChick

Whoa, um, I have NO idea why this really old siggy appeared!!  I'll try to fix that...

KBackus12

UGH! I'm having trouble opening it at work. It keeps freezing.  This might be a good or a bad thing /

KBackus12

and what happened to my pictures?

amylee4835

So slow!

jamidandedb

One word...YUCK

ETA:  What's up with my year old Siggy, and my RSVP responses!  I got rid of those ages ago!

Arez16

I also like the dorothy reference...and the cell phone reference

I don't know if I like this yet, but I think its very easy to hate something that you don't know yet. This time next week hopefully we will be liking the new format!
