I miss the 'date' that used to appear next to each thread title on the discussions home page, why did that leave?
With it I could always pick up where I left off, even if it was over a week ago. The date showed when the LAST post had been added to that thread.
Without it is harder to avoid missing anything or to avoid re-reading a bunch of threads.
*This is not an improvement.I really miss not having the thread poster's name listed along with the "new" highlighted in red.Hope this is not a permanent changeTerry
*God save us from tinkerers.John
*How come the chicken shit that did this can't fess up. Must be a 'publican.Independently but still not happy, BB
*Sysop (or whatever you call yourselves today),

*Whatever... I liked things before the change. I'm hoping other regulars will chime in and express a desire to return to how things were before this change. It's YOUR site, but please, remember that WE are the ones who fill it with the content that makes it what it has become.REspectfully, Steve
*Joe,Can't you find one of those appropriate quotes from Aristotle to convince the Sysop to switch things back to the way they were, such as:CERTAIN PEOPLE MAKE CHANGES TO THINGS THAT ARE NOT PERCEIVED AS BROKEN BY OTHERS, NOT TO FIX THEM, BUT IN ORDER TO AROUSE THOSE WHO WATCH THEIR ACTIONS.PRESENTATION OF IDEAS IS NOT AS IMPORTANT AS THE THOUGHTS BEHIND THE IDEAS THEMSELVES. TO UNDERMINE THE PRESENTATION, IS TO UNDERMINE THE THOUGHT BEHIND THEM.BLAH BLAH BLAH I agree with others.........the new format sucks!
*Oh yea,Do put things back please!and what happened to the extra cool line we could include with our names. it was a nice touch.
*i'm adding my name to the list of unhappies. i like "phat". reminds me of the city in thailand which is the same as what we think of the changes. "phuket" (sp?).juan
*I DUNNO; I'M KINDA GETTING USED TO IT. MY EYES ARE GLAZED, I'M ON 10 ALL THE TIME, AND MY HEAD IS POUNDING, BUT AT LEAST I'M BEATING THE NAUSEA...AT LEAST THE REAL BAD NAUSEA YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW ABOUT...
*This Sucks. ..I'm outa here-pm
*Pipe down buddy... and keep an eye out... I hear tell that John Svenson guy is still in OmeomiOhio.
*Awrighty then... I've seen the He'p Wanted ad...so, who's doin' this? And for what?1) Changes in format are always welcome. See above.2) Said changes will be far more appreciated if we can still identify the "Posts from Wankers" by Author. Some wankers are getting savvy and posting misleading topics, followed by drivel.3) Web space/page speed. Neither are good excuses.Archive more of the odd, old, etc... Eliminate all moving, revolving, revolting banner advertisements.4) Give Andy Engel a raise. (Andy how'd I do? Subtle enough?)5) What Patrick said.
*i 5) What Patrick said.I wonder what would happen to the forum if all the regulars stopped posting, all at once.
*Luka,

*I'll chime in: THIS SUCKS!Partial relief for the blue's guys - tell the "internet Options" area of your desktop not to accept internet colors, and to use the default windows colors. My background is grey, topics are blue, comments are black.Still sucks, tho - but a tad easier on the eyes.
*Sysop,

*This reminds me of "shouting". Go back!!!!!!!I also want the date back. Very useful for knowing where I left off.
*You have a green e-mail button?... Nothing here. Still ugly! LJ
*My Email button is currently tan or whatever color that is, but it has on occasion been green. For awhile now the Message Center button has been grey with blue text.I don't get needing the dates to know where you left off...The software tells me where I left off by marking anything I haven't read with "new". It's one of the best features of this board. Are you reading without logging in?Rich Beckman
*When your e-mail button is green, it means you have e-mail, Rich. Go press your e-mail button and you'll see who's writing to you!
*Search isn't working for me.
*Hmmm...In theory, my e-mail at Taunton is automatically forwarded to my primary e-mail address. Looking back now, I see one e-mail that was indeed forwarded. Didn't notice at the time. Maybe there's others.Rich Beckman
*Geez, I didn't even know we had e mail here at the sight. But I sure miss the "new" sign on the menus, like Rich said, they used to help me navigate.I just got home, but judging from the outrage, I guess things were worse over the past week, huh? Whatever, the strength of this board is the posters, and we can adapt to whatever format they give us, now, where's that flamethrower...
*100% accurate.Where's Freddie Lugano, Blue, Rob Susz, Bob Fortino, Lisa, Fiyo, and I'm forgetting a couple I know (one in particular PA/VA area... nice fellow).All added a thread to this fabric... some silk, some burlap.
*Well, things are looking better but still no-one is coming forward as the one playing God with us...near the stream, seeing more things of yore,aj
*I'm told that the changes to the board were unasked for, we all were stumped, and things are now back to what passes for normal. Unglazing,Andy
*Thanks Andy for letting us know b Whasssssup!near the stream(anyone still need an explanation, (about the stream thing)?),aj
*That kinda freaked me out a bit!I was sitting here reading about all the weird changes, and seeing all the messed up stuff, and my screen blinked, then everything was as it used to be.I don't know how you did that while I was in the middle of reading, but I like it.Hey AJ, can I say "near the big ditch" at the end of my posts, without infringing upon your stream? I ain't right next to a stream, but I have a large county ditch at the back of my property? James "Loving Life Again" DuHamel
*Can't include the horseshoes eh Jimbo? Nice hat. And the aussie monogram proves to all you're not just a pretty face.Nice meeting you.BC
*CLS,

*With all that BOLD text out there, I'll bet that stream seemed an overwhelming flood...
*i A new bunch of "regulars" would take over. . .Yup.Didn't even occur to me...
*Hurray, we're back to normal(?). Now if you could address that Login default??? By the way, why is the Message Center button blue on grey while all of the other buttons are black on gold?
*HEY, CUT IT OUT SYSOP!NOW EVERYTHING I TYPE IS IN CAPS ALL THE TIME.Oh, oopsNevermind.
*Andy,Just wanted to say, I'm glad things are fixed. Thought I had used too much Visine.Redilly yours, BB
*what i want to know is how you can have a mesage to Sysop and get no reply on this thread at all. Action yes, but at least an "oops, sorry" would be appropriate. Has everything on your screen doubled in size? I kind of feel like I've suddenly been given the bold type edition.
*change is so painful.
*The Conners were who I was refering to... Bill still posts, but less regularly than before.
