Not one to complain usually - I pretty much "go with the flow".  Gotta say, though, that I'm having a really tough time figuring things out on this forum.  The other one may have been old but at least it was clear-cut and easily understood.  

Every thread is marked "new".  I'm having a devil of a time figuring out if I've read that post or not.  I tried going under recent topics and updated topics but they only seemed to lead me down the garden path but not necessarily where I wanted to go.  

I guess I'll get used to it in time.

I'm labeled as a "rookie" - thought I'd been around long enough that I didn't qualify as a rookie any more.  Although, come to think of it, I am definitely a rookie with this new format , so maybe that title is appropriate!!

AND I have to agree that things are WAY slower than they used to be.  Although I'll be very happy if the time out is truly fixed.  That used to annoy the heck out of me when I typed a really long response and then had it get lost before it posted.

Oh, well, now that I posted it listed me as "hero member".  Maybe it should just call me "confused".
