Hey, it’s not too bad. This ol’granny is about as un-techy as you can get. My Avatar has stymied me. I’m on the search for a new better one. I miss my post count showing up. The pet pix was fun for the short time they were up. I actually got one posted before it went away. The lil’wrekker is helping me. She’s losing patience with my ignorance, I fear. I think I will get used to it. Give it time folks. Don’t run off. I will miss you.🙄 ---

I could not access this on my phone. So I am at the library where I had to use my username plus add a two on the end. Help me! ---

I know zip about IPhone but on android phones push the 3 dots in the upper right and open the board in chrome. If you had to change your user name you may have opened a new acct. Email Tuba, I’m afraid she’s probably overwhelmed right now. ---

Hey, I was locked out for 3 months on the _old_ board and no one could figure it out. This one is a piece of cake. Denny ---

Hi, Denny. I’ve wondered where you were. ---

It’s taking some getting used to. So far I don’t hate it. I try not to whine too much about change - it’s not always bad. It’s just different. I do like the preview beside the post box - I can proofread before posting. ---

> [@Beckdawrek](#): > > I miss my post count showing up. Funnily enough, I looked at my information and it tells me that you’re my top “most replied to”. All of 21 posts. So maybe this will be 22. Seems there’s a lot more information in the UserCP (or whatever it’s called) than there was before. ---

I have no sense of direction and have been stumbling around lost, and that’s a jibe at myself, not the board. I’ll figure it out eventually. And then maybe I’ll change my avatar. I have to figure out where I am before I tackle who I am. ---

I want a way to make the avatars bigger. I can’t make 'em out half the time. Or maybe I should get a bigger monitor. 🤔 🤔 Oh hey! My emojis worked this time! 😃 ---

As long as my avatar is still up, I think you are safe. Note, my avatar is a 1x1 transparent image so that is what “up” looks like. ---

FWIW they’ve been making tweaks to the layout pretty continuously ever since launch; compared to what it was last night/early this morning it’s now a lot closer to the way the old forum presented things. ---

I miss the post count thing too. And the location. Though some of that info can be seen by clicking someone’s profile picture I think? Dunno, my brain’s pretty fried today. ---
