GothicGyrl Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Obviously, I love it. I loathed the old format--any board like that, including TM, is just old and out of date. This format is so much more manageable and easier to navigate. Believe me, you will get used to it quickly. And then you will wonder how you ever lived without it. :) toni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GothicGyrl Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 I think by reputation points she means the posts:number off to your top right. And well, meh... it's fine. It's just a way to know how many posts you have, which by the end of the night, I should have--oh, a couple thousand. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Wisc Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 This kind of change is difficult because I can't just run in and "check" the boards--I'll have to figure them out first! I'm sure once we get use to it, we will see it as an improvement. Jean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moodasz Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 I know I come overcome my apprehension to change - I have for 40 some-odd years but it still gives me a bit of the heebie-jeebies. But I LOVE seeing so many faces - putting names to faces - what a blast. Now - question - why under our names does it say "just visiting"?

Jane in NC Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 I like being able to do a quick search on a name for previous posts, particularly when earlier comments are referenced or when I discover someone with whom I think I have something in common. Does the Board Master determine the longevity on the basis of date or number of posts or what? (Searching old boards in the old format could be problematic.)

Needleroozer Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 For shame. Call yourself a Duran fan and you don't even know their names? Humph.... You are funny! And no, I would not call myself a fan- fans know things like names and faces, and who they date, and how many kids they have, etc. I just like the music!!!! I have a lousy memory, and can never even remember who performed what song- I just know what I like when I listen to my radio- and I am such a station flipper, I never stick around to listen to who did the song, anyhow. Now my dirty secret is out- I love to listen to music, but never know who does what to get it to my ears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
