Wolf:
1. This isn't the forum for this type of thread. This thread belongs in the "News, Comments, & Suggestions" forum.

2. Look under your post for your location, ie. , you're in Albany. [img]images/icons/crazy.gif[/img]

Wolf:

Have you tried Internet Explorer (IE) instead of Netscape. IE seems to respond a lot faster than Netscape.

I'm not sure what's going on, but right now I seem to be getting a pretty slow response. Normally using IE it's pretty quick.

At least I'm not the only one that has noticed a change in the appearance of the forum.
I still consider this one of my favorite places to visit and do think it has some of the best information available.
There has been a change in the fonts and colors that seem to make everything harder to read. I use a 20" monitor but sill have trouble reading some of it. I suffer from Macular Degeneration so changes like this can be a problem. I just try harder....

Yes I think that it is much slower than before.

I have a cable modem and it still seems slow. I dont' know what the problem is.

As far as the layout goes I like it, because I am always signed in and don't have to put my username and password for each post

Hello fellow truck driver stick with this I think the bugs should be worked out soon. I got mad too because things changed and posted a nasty post about whats going on here. I'am slowly getting use to the new changes.

I don't find the site any faster than it was before and it might even be a bit slower.
I'am running internet explorer 5.0 and its not making the site any faster and my BPS is 31200.

Well anyway see ya in T-N

Thanks

Hey wolf Hang in there, you will get used to the new format.

The look is different but nearly all the old information is on it.

If you will look below the signature line that is where the state and like information is. It is in the profile as before to.

Heck man we even got some neat new to features to boot [img]images/icons/cool.gif[/img].
You cain't beat that with a club and the price is right to!!! [img]images/icons/laugh.gif[/img]. There is one the exclamination points. Real simple now, 'cause I can do them. [img]images/icons/laugh.gif[/img] The GRAEMLINSare instant as long as it is at the last word or period -!-? [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] or whatever you typed. If you want to add one later you have to put them in the old way.

The only thing that seems to be giving people problems is the new search format.
Other than that, Now that Jason has nearly if not all the buggs worked out, everything is much better overall I feel.

Take care and play with the system and youwill get the hang of it.
