The most important part of the site is relegated to the bottom and..........give us back the old site.

I agree you can no longer just pull up a list of new posts and see who posted and read what you want. You have to go back and forth to the Main page, very annoying to say the least. Plus new format looks generic like every other site on the net and as far as the News being highlighted rather have the forum most of the news is a snoozer, in otherwords puts you to sleep.

Anyone having trouble logging on? I can get on by the quick method but get a box saying to reset the form (citing user name and logon info. as a problem) logging in at the top right. I have tried to log on as I always have but it won't accept it. Can you computer wizards direct me on how to fix this? Thanks in advance.
The box says "the form has not been submitted because there are problems with the form"?????? It then mentions the user name and login. It then has a choice- OK or Reset Form. Clicked on both . Doesn't help. |

I am sorry to hear that you dont like the new site, I am unclear as to what your complaint is Wasteful ? There is still a Recent Forum post area where you can see what topics have been commented on most recently, directly under the picture on the main page. ------------- Call me for a www.CameraSecurityNow.com" rel="nofollow - www.CameraSecurityNow.com quote 513-422-1907 x357 |

Randy before you could click on recent posts and it took you to a page that listed the recent posts and who made them and you could read what you wanted, plus you had all of the forum headings listed on the left hand side with most recent posts listed for each heading and could easily navigate now you have just topics at the bottom and you have to go back and forth to the main page for all recent posts. It is now more cumbersome to navigate.
Vet I had problems signing on several times. Plus the News is not what you guys are known for, look how many comments most news stories get 0.
The old site was more user friendly, in my opinion.

| wasteful, the page you are talking about is the "New Post" page and is linked in the upper right. Always has been. |

| Justwatching you use to be able to access that page from the home page by clicking on the title Recent forum Posts above the list of recent catagories that had been posted to now you can not. I prefer having it all on the home page as before, much easier to navigate. |
