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?

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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!
