For those saying they can’t easily see who the OP is: Go to Preferences - Interface and for Theme, choose Sam’s Simple Theme. ---

I have to say, day 3 (?is it 3 days) I’m up and running. I’m liking it more and more. A few little quirks I’m NOT excited about. But, I don’t hate, HATE it. I most concerned about the loss of a few threadgames. I feel like I moved into a whole new world. (Agree the with the Simple Sam theme, easiest) ---

So far I am missing: being able to see the first lines of a post and seeing when a person signed up and the number of posts. So far, I see no advantage to the new format. ---

I don’t see that either. Have you switched around themes or whatever they are called here. I’m on simple Sam and you have to click on the posters avatar to see their post count. All of the little biogs are not there. I miss that. ---

@Suntan , don’t give up. I’m as clumsy as a bull in a China shop. It’s only been a few days. And I am doing it on my phone and tablet. Go to the top forum and take @GreysonCarlisle,'s tutorial. It will help you navigate things. Ask for help when you need it. ATMB is full of threads with good advice. ---

I finally got my login straightened out. Been looking around at the new site. It’s definitely going to be an adjustment. It’s the people and conversation that matters and that hasn’t changed. Hopefully some of the old members that left because of the failing software will decide to return. ---
