Angry  I don't like it..I find it harder to navigate between the store and the forums.  Perhaps, it will just take time....

Thought I had logged in to another forum in error.  I'm sure it will be just fine but need some time to acclimatize.

Right now it has not been "hot rodded", its just the bare basic code.  It is a very major upgrade in code and technology that will make the forum more stable, faster and most importantly it will allow us to do much more customization.

Don't worry, it'll feel like home in no time.  Keep posting what you don't like so we will know what to change.
 
It may go through a few cosmetic changes until we find something that sticks, so if you log on and it's hot pink.......don't be alarmed.

How's about a feature that would let those who don't like so much of a certain color background be able to customize it from a few different choices.Clap

The thing I notice most is that the topic list from SWFA has not changed in three days.  Then there less emoticons.Broken%20Heart

Don't want to hurt any feelings, but I really liked the old site better. This one does come up faster though.

We are working on the cosmetics to get the same look and feel back but our priority right now is the code behind the scenes.

I'm having a hard time navigating my way around it. I can't find threads I'd like to follow up on, and the search function doesn't work for me, in what I would consider a logical manner. I hope I can figure it out. I kind of feel like I'm trying to communicate with an old friend who's gone completely deaf overnite.  I'm really trying not to sound critical, because I know that it will take time to get the bugs worked out, and I sure don't want to discourage any efforts you folks go through to make a GREAT site even better. I'll keep stumbling around until I get used to it, I guess. (I'll try not to step on too many toes....Embarrassed )

Changes are never easy.  The upgrade was necessary and right now the site is at its most basic state possible while we fix issues that many users were having with the old site code.  Keep the critiques and suggestions coming as we continue to make alterations.......this is ya'lls site after all, Wink  and I really mean that.
