I don't have any problem with 'em the way they are now. They don't seem any harder to me to navigate.
New...old...it doesn't matter to me much. As long as the forums exist and we can continue to communicate, it's all good.

I actually had problems with the whole site after they tried the first transfer. I would have to start and quit IE a few times to get it to even realise the site was there, and then it would behave in bizarre fashion when I tried to use the forums.
For instance, I would be typing a post, then when I hit the "Post" button, I would get a message telling me that Flood Control was activated, and I could not post within twenty seconds of my last post. Odd, considering it was my first post of the day. Well, when it did let me post, I found out it had posted my message when I was only half way through typing it, and without me ever hitting the post button.
I have been having none of these problems since the latest transfer and the upgrade, though.

Hmm...the board new layout is interesting. reminds me of a mix of these two BB sites that I know of. For one thing, now instead of member ranks depending on posts, one "votes" for the member. So the more people who vote for you, the higher rank you get.
At least we now have a "Last Post" feature set in the Main forum, so we can tell who's made the last new post.
I wish though that we had more smilies...

Woah, I've been away for a little bit. The changes are a bit shocking at first, but it seems to work fine for me now.

I like the new forums layout, except one little thing, unless I am missing something. I can't search by membername(Lemonflav, Samurai X,...etc.) I have to search by member #. Also where is the Memberlist? I used to go and find the person easily....now I can't find shit! Wish the memberlist was still there......at least so I could find member #'s. Oh well....
This bbs is working fine for me. No trouble of navigating through it. Color and contrast are acceptable because they do not hurt my eyes. Of course, there is always room for improvement. In reality, this is a great site to dwell at, and I find great enjoyment browsing over the posts submitted by so many fine members. I have been a visitor at this forum for quite a while till I finally registered as a member.

I like the new forums alot. They load a LOT faster now. I can feeeel the Unix power. Only crappy thing is the avatar problems. I will work on a custom one instead. The spell cheking option would be nice to have back, since I'm from Sweden and I do make stupid typos..

Robi15, it sure is great to be back on Unix. Zero downtime since the move as far as I’m aware.
in case you are wondering why your avatar is malfunctioning. Here is what you have entered for your avatar URL:
http://www.neo-geo.com/ubb/avatars/fernda.gifhttp://www.neo-geo.com/ubb/avatars/fernda.gifhttp://www.neo-geo.com/ubb/avatars/blank.gifhttp://www.neo-geo.com/ubb/avatars/blank.gifht tp://www.neo-geo.com/ubb/avatars/fernda.gifhttp://www.neo-geo.com/ubb/avatars/fernda.gif
You need to update your profile by selecting the Avatar you want to use, then remove the junk listed in your Avatar URL field.
They now charge for spell check, will probably add this feature again.

No wonder that my avatar did not work. I simply did not notice this new feature. Problem solved.
Krauser, you mean me? I'm getting better and better all the time, on typing. It's just that sometimes I spell the words wrongly and maybe, like, in the next row I get it right. You know what I mean.. lol*
