    I'm using this forum a lot less now since they made the changes. Can we please have the old layout back? :-<

    I was going to agree with you but when he went from the first room into the second and then third? I said that is too much.

    Wind this thing up.

    I've been using the scripts in this thread to make the forums usable. I really like the classic forum one. Makes the forum almost look like it used to:

    Navigating the forum makes me feel like I am trying to walk straight and purposeful in a bounce house.

    The scripts are excellent. I'm using the Legacy. It's made all the difference for me!

    Let's be honest, it's been this way for a good couple of months now, the problems with the interface are obvious and have been stated over and over - doesn't look like anything is going to change.

    The features suck. All they did was take away. So what if a you tube video can be embedded. That seems like the only benefit. Furthermore, the embedding of a youtube video WAS ALREADY an available add on the site that they used to have. "mobile view"...... also available as an add on to the site they USED to have. The extremely sad truth is that this site is simply dirt cheap as fuck in comparison.

    ENJOY!

    So who is pocketing the savings? First they upped the $20 membership to $40, as if we wouldn't notice, and now they give us a stupid juvenile novice "community" platform.

    Stupidity. Where's Ed. Does he even know, I wonder?

    Again, posting in this vanilla platform feels like I'm in one of those dreams where I'm in slow motion, trying to run and going no where.

    What a sad state of message board affairs, this "pearl jam" outfit is.....

    Wow, had not been around for a few weeks... What happened to "if it aint broke, don't fix it"? Was it broke? Apparently a lot of people didn't think so. I never noticed all the requests for Forum changes... Bye for now, off to rest these old eyes...

    I had a nice collection of PMs. Now there is no way to navigate through them. I liked my inbox, outbox, drafts, and not yet picked up box.

    They took so much away, I feel like I'm in a bubble when I come to the site.

    They did team up with a bubble gum quality host, so it's no wonder!

    They must still be upgrading cause every time I log into my account I keep getting the "We're over capacity" screen. I don't have any problems viewing the board on my smartphone, but on my desktop PC, it always happens.

    I'm sure this has been asked 1000 times but why, why, why oh 10C did you make these disastrous changes and why won't you change back? I was just telling a non-PJ fan, last night, how the 10C has basically driven most of "our" people away for no conceivable reason. The 100s of people who helped me thru some real bad stuff have mostly jumped ship. I am so grateful to know these people but the "community" here is dying everyday. Why, Kat???

    It seems pretty fucking obvious from reading the last several posts (written by long-time, mindfully intelligent and astute members) that this new forum layout totally sucks. The legacy script has made reading the forum easier for me personally but not everyone is able to use it and besides, why should we need to download something extra to make this site more usable when it was more usable before the change- especially, as it has been pointed out, when the cost of admission has gone up? No one wants to pay more for a new product that is in all most all respects inferior to the old one which was less expensive to begin with.

    With all due respect, 10C, it's time to listen to your long time faithful supporters, fans and friends and own up to the fact that the new layout was a mistake and fix it, PLEASE!
