    All the thread titles are highlighted like the subfolders, and minus the posters name. It's just a wash of bright blue. I hate this. Please, make it stop.

    1. Guest_ | Aug 09, 2000 02:58am | #1

      *I feel like I'm in the twilight zone...nothing is as it seems...make it stop.................

        *Beam me back, Scotty, I don't like what's happened to the board.Gabe

        1. Guest_ | Aug 09, 2000 03:09am | #3

          *This bites, man.And, by the way, while you're fixing this can you make the Login screen default to the Login button, so one could just hit Enter after typing one's password? Puhleeeeease??TIA, Bill

          1. Guest_ | Aug 09, 2000 03:26am | #4

            *And would whoever's responsible mind explaining this boneheaded change.How do we know what's new?Sheesh,BB

          2. Guest_ | Aug 09, 2000 03:26am | #5

            *Paddy's gonna love this- no way to to know which posts to ignore.maybe the spell checker works now?

          4. Guest_ | Aug 09, 2000 03:31am | #7

            *This doesn't look like an improvement to me. Red dog

          5. Guest_ | Aug 09, 2000 03:41am | #8

            *I'm glad somebody said something - I thought my eyes had just glazed over from staring at the screen too long. They were good enough to leave the empty "change subscriptions" button along with the "calendar" button so that that at least something still looks familiar...

          6. Guest_ | Aug 09, 2000 03:47am | #9

            *...uh...I don't have a 'change subscriptions' button. I want my money back.

          7. Guest_ | Aug 09, 2000 03:57am | #10

            *I emailed Andy awhile back about the Bigass arrows obscuring the thread titles in "Message Folder", and why emailing sysop never got a response anymore, he said he would check into it, but that the boards were now being Sysop'd by some faceless ones out in Californication who didn't have the same feel for things as David/sean did.Methinks they just do as they please and f**k anyone who doesn't like it. Sysop heaven!!-pm

          8. Guest_ | Aug 09, 2000 04:08am | #11

            *At the very least we need the posters name. There's that one guy that I try to avoid! OK, maybe more than just one. Jeff

          9. Guest_ | Aug 09, 2000 04:48am | #12

            *I emailed Andy (syop),Don't like it, don't care for it, just another example of someone making useless "improvments".Ed. Williams

            *hit the tab button and it automatically logs you intype nametabtype passwordtabyou're in-Rob

          11. Guest_ | Aug 09, 2000 04:55am | #14

            *Jeff,HA! Now you're just gonna have to read my posts!Rich Beckman

          12. Guest_ | Aug 09, 2000 05:05am | #15

            *ICK!!!!!

          13. Guest_ | Aug 09, 2000 05:51am | #16

            *Looks like WATERWORLD

          14. Guest_ | Aug 09, 2000 06:32am | #17

            *No sir, I don't like it.

          15. Guest_ | Aug 09, 2000 07:03am | #18

            *You guys! I checked in on my lunchbreak today and the board was still in the old style. I look in now only a few hours later and not only is there this change, but someone has already posted about it AND there are 17 responses already! Sheesh, doesn't anyone work after hours anymore? (By candlelight up on the roof)Yeah, the change really sucks. Buck, I too don't like reading my posts but what's a guy to do?

          16. Guest_ | Aug 09, 2000 07:30am | #19

            *Shame you guys all pull your punches..

            *It's unanimous, nobody likes it. It needs to be changed back!

          19. Guest_ | Aug 09, 2000 02:15pm | #22

            *New look sucks! Agreed.

          20. Guest_ | Aug 09, 2000 05:59pm | #23

            *The Cooks hate it, too. Li (our Board moderator) says she's got a call into the sysop to find out what the problem is. Bet the Gardener's are none too happy, either.

          21. Guest_ | Aug 09, 2000 07:20pm | #24

            *Maybe the new sysop is related to the guy on the next block that I posted about?!?Come on Taunton you had a good thing going. Don't fix what ain't broke!

          22. Guest_ | Aug 09, 2000 08:25pm | #25

            *I'm glad to hear that you folks are all happy with the change. Now, is there anything else we can do to make life better for you?This one blind-sided me too. I'm looking for answers. I spend a couple days at PeteFest, and I come home to this! Geez.Andy

          23. Guest_ | Aug 09, 2000 09:30pm | #26

            *Andy clued us in, didn't he. He pointed out a causal relationship 'tween PeteFest and THIS! So, it's settled, no more vacation for him, he's got to stay with this baby 24/7.

          24. Guest_ | Aug 09, 2000 09:36pm | #27

            *Andy,Tell the SYSOP when you called from Petefest you said "Rum & Coke on the rocks" not "Run the boat on the rocks"!

          25. Guest_ | Aug 10, 2000 12:31am | #28

            *Not anymore on my compooterMaybe I should be drinking a tab, BB

          26. Guest_ | Aug 10, 2000 01:57am | #29

            *Yeah, me too!But perhaps I'm on Jeff's list as well...Whatever, Steve

          27. Guest_ | Aug 10, 2000 02:10am | #30

            *Well, it looks like they broke the "search" function also - without that, how am I gonna find it when I can't remember what it was that I didn't pay attention to? Taunton must have taken the low bidder on this one...

          28. Guest_ | Aug 10, 2000 03:38am | #31

            *It's JUST WRONG i tell ya' WRONG!Change BAD..... Continuity GOOD.... Dependability GOOD..... Put All Back Same...... Be GOOD!PB
