Wasn't there talk of a new website a while ago? With tone charts and other upgrades?
Yeah, it's been mentioned one or two.... million times.  :wink:
Doh! I haven't been properly posting long haha.

i suppose i prefer the other system, but its important to keep things changing

edit:
thought the other forum was less corporate, more intimate and friendly looking. of course, i was used to the way it worked, but thats not a valid reason :) the new forum looks more hi-tech and professional for sure.

edit:
but looking around there are some nice new features, i think i will soon get used to it. thanks all for transferring all the user data etc!

I'm using IE7 and Vista.  Seems slow at some times, then quick at others.  Seems very slow opening up the forum afresh, then it's sort of OK.

The "stay logged in" option works for me fine.

People who are logging in every time - are you just using the username and password boxes at the top of the page?

If you actually click on "Log in" you have the option to tick a "keep me logged in" box.

Camino on OS X is running fine- no login (or logout) issues, and the forum is nice and speedy :)

IE7 working fine.

Could we have the members' locations back up?  Sometimes it's helpful to know where people are from.  Other than that I like the new digs, I actually said "Woah" out loud like Keanu Reeves when I first noticed!

I'm liking it - nice work Ol  :D

It'll take us a while to get used to it, but it'll soon feel like home.

BTW - so glad you removed the Rep points - I saw it briefly last night before it was time to shut down for "quality time with the missus", and I've been worrying about it ever since: "oh no, the wonderful friendly atmosphere here could be seriously affected..."

No need to worry  :D

EDIT: And my only recently selected avatar seems to have suffered no ill affects   :D But Jonathan, have you been starving yourself??! :lol:

EDIT: WOOO! Have you folks noticed the little spanner at the bottom right of your recent post? I clicked it, and I can do this edit in place! (OK, now someone will tell me that was there on the old version!)

We've waited a long time for this. It takes a bit of getting used to. It looks slick.

I would have liked a 'quick reply' box though.

What's the deal with that Camino? It seems unnecessary when there's a perfectly good version of Firefox for Mac. I seem to remember installing it once, but promptly uninstalling when i discovered it didn't have support for Proxies.
