    I'm sticking primarily to the old board for now but that's mostly just because I'm not good with change. This board is still a work in progress, so I think we just need to be patient. Does anyone know if it's possible to have a spell check option on a board like this? That would be sweet!

    I notice when you key in incorrectly spelt words they're highlighted by a red underline, I like this may mean there are fewer spelling mistakes by those of us who are not lazy in fixing them! I like the new board except for the speed, hopefully they'll rectify this in the near future. Nothing as good as change and my teenage daughter likes the new board, gotta move with the times.....

    Besides the ones I've previously mentioned: No new posts and no preview, I'd add that when you click on a link it doesn't open a new tab. I loved that about the pit and it's something I've always disliked about RM and other sites. :)

    The red underlined spell check feature is from Firefox, not the board. ;)

    I didn't know that. I thought it was a feature of the board. I've been on this one since it started (I think) and it seemed that it was an added feature? Regardless, I had to fix the one in this quote and I do like the feature wherever it comes from ! :)

    I hate that too!!! Every message board and website I go to has the link open up in a new window by default except this one. BOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

    Dead right. Might use Firefox for now, seems to be better than this until they get their shit together. 'Nother thing I miss to echo others is that preview, gotta have that preview. Hopefully if enough of us say we want it they'll do something about it.

    It's interesting that they don't seem to be changing the things we've mentioned we don't like. At this point, it does NOT seem like the features we miss (like the "new post" button and the mouse-rollover-view-first-post feature) are being changed.

    When is the improvement supposed to happen? 2020?! When everyone who doesn't like the new place leaves and stops mentioning it? Never?

    (I'm ranting...) ;)

  • Not so sure, I guess I'll wait and see. I agree with we are creatures of habit!

    Oh my gawd, are you serious? They are not jumping to make the changes to the board after users complained? :rolleyes:

    Seriously now, we come here because we want to talk about and find information out about of favorite band, not because of stupid, trivial forum features. They have never included the members of the board in board re-designs and what not, why should they start now?

    I was hoping that my comment about ranting with the wink next to it would be a clue as to my lack of seriousness...

    Should I have made it LARGER?

    I like the layout quite a bit, but the only two things that bug me are the speed and the fact that there's no paging yet.
