For those of you who are disenchanted, everyone uses these boards differently, but take it from the Luddite who started this thread - at this point I would not express an opinion as to whether I liked the old or new formats better. Took me a while to figure our a way to switch among forums and to move w/in threads, but now that I have, the new setup serves my purposes just as well as the old.

I think I even prefer the little numbers on my icon in the top left, letting me know when someone responded to a thread I posted in. And I haven’t yet cared to figure out when/why/where it lists other threads I read/posted in, but I’ve used that.

Haven’t seen any ads - which is better than the old one. (On EDIT - I just saw a small ad. So unobtrusive, I hadn’t even noticed it.

And I like the line which indicates the posts that have seen action since I last checked in.

Of course, I do NOTHING other than post. Once in a great while I’ll attach a photo. But I was able to figure out ways to quote/link/bold/etc w/ no difficulty. I RARELY use my phone - so I readily admit it could be worse for those who do. And I couldn’t care less about white space, formatting, customizing, etc.

If you truly gave a shit about the old board, I strongly suspect that with a tad more time/effort, you’ll find that it is still here.

(Gosh - does such optimism make anyone ELSE feel like puking?!) 😉
