First off, I'd like to gripe about the new site. Yuck! It's so ugly! I hate you and I'm going home!
What a clever boy you are! I love it - nice and cozy. Soooo...just you have me here, Handsome?

My gripes with this alternative are: - 1. it costs $7/month to make the ads go away. I'm cheap.
- 2 The providers own the content. I didn't mind when Taunton owned our content, but I don't know these folks.
- 3. I can't control the layout very well. Not yet anyway.

I'm not seeing ads at the bottom. I see a couple at the top. If enough people show up, maybe we can chip in and cover the cost if the ads are disliked.

Since there are so few regulars on the FG board, I hardly see a reason to have more than one folder. It's not like there's 400 posts a day. And with the old forum, it was so easy to kip back and forth if you didn't know what someone was referring to.
I certainly hope they fix it. I'm not really terrifically upset about the format since I know they have alot to work out. But I don't like the attitude like "We gave you the chance way back when to give us feedback." Feedback? On what to change, ok. Nobody said "you ought to take a wrecking ball to it to it and make these minor changes." I think it's just best for me to stay away for a while before I get so PO'd that I swear it off forever.

I'll leave them since I'm cheap, but I hate being advertised to. I am leaving the format here in drab blue/grey. its close enough to basic windows colours that it won't attract a lot of attention.

Agree on both accounts. I don't think we are drawing a lot of traffic here. If we do, I'll quit my job and just manage this board from my living room in my underwear. OTOH, I expect OTF will be sorted out in 6-8 weeks, and we can delete this place from our fav's.

Hey, this is nice and simple for simple minds like mine. No ugly yellow boxes, no teeny tiny print when you type a reply. I admit I hope they fix the other forum and put it back, but I suspect at this point they feel like they are being attacked, so they are digging in and defending their position. Maybe with time.......aka 1946

By living a good life and being kind to all living things. Hack - snort - cough - ack - kak!!! Sorry, I choked on that one.
As for the brown thumb and me being a seed - ironic, huh? You don't have a brown thumb and I don't do seeds.
