    The whole deal with the forum change, the look, the reactions-- I think I finally figured it out. It's like a modern Kafka novel.

    I don't mind the new forum, but I thought you'd appreciate that, Brian.
    You got it, K.! :))

    deleting pms?? I can't even write a pm. when I attempted to, I clicked on the person's name, then a text box appeared, so I ASSUMED that meant write your pm here. Wrong! A couple days later I got an email from Kat saying "hey stupid, use the pm function and stop writing on that guys activity wall." I don't know what that even means.

    Also, I've been shown how to embed YouTube videos and still can't figure it out. I guess it's all just operator error.

    Not sure if you're being disingenuous, but if not...

    Clicking on a person's name and writing in the box that appeared is a "public" message, everyone can see it. If you want to write a private message, I think the best way is to go to your inbox and then click "New Message" and go from there.

    I still check in every day, but can't stay long, as the "old" eyes can't take it!

    My 16 year old daughter looked at the "new" forum and said, "Why is it so white? And why are the letters so small?"

    For what it's worth, I think the new forum is total garbage. The first few times I came to the 'new' forum.... I thought something was wrong with my browser.

    It's starting to make me laugh that it still looks like this. It actually surprises me a little.

    Exactly...How long is this going to go on for?...Either go back to the Old Look or atleast do something about this eyesore.

    I'm guessing it's either live with it, download the excellent greasemonkey script (which has kept me here) or start a mutiny. Oh wait, that's already happened on its own.

    Do you participate in any of the Facebook groups?
    I know a ton of folks have gone that direction.
    Personally? I wouldn't, couldn't do facebook in a gazillion years.


    Take me piece by piece.....

    Yeah, once in a while, casually, but I find them hare to keep hard to track of. With having downloaded the script here, I feel as comfortable on this site as I did before it was reformatted and find myself connected better with the band and fans here than on Facebook. For me Facebook is basically good for keeping track of and keeping in touch with the kids and nieces and nephews and grand-kids and what they are up too because that's their way of communicating.

    LONG time member checking in. I rarely complain about anything here. I have to say I am not a fan of the new design. As a matter of fact, it has discouraged me from participating around here. I'm hoping these suggestions for change are taken into account. Rock on PJ!

    Has anyone mentioned the fact that we can now delete our own posts from people's activity walls? That is excellent! Must have accidentally posted publicly half a dozen times now. It's nice to be able to get rid if the mistake! Haven't tried deleting someone else's post from my own wall... is that also possible now?

    Hilarious, because that is what the people on FB say about this place and why most of them dont come here anymore.... :))

    Really? I never at all got the impression that people were using FB because the people here were pissing them off with what they say and do. I thought it was because the mods were pissing them off and because the new forum design sucks so bad.

    I have heard multiple people over there say how they hate the people here because of how rude they are and that the negativity keeps them away.
