I must admit that I prefer the old one. Sorry! |

Folks, the new forum is still a work in progress. We're going to try to address as many of these issues as we can, but we've been focused on the terrible performance issue first. I'd ask that you hold off on making any decision about which format you prefer until we are able to attempt to address some of these concerns. I have no doubt that, in its current state, due to the performance issues, the overwhelming majority of us prefer the old forum to the new one. |

Okay, I will try to reserve judgment... though I should say that I have used that board before, since it's used on BigSoccer.com, so I am already familiar with it. It's just personal preference. But I will at least try to reserve judgment... |

Jamie, as someone who routinely had to deal with the trolls (mainly just one disgustingly persistent one) - keeping it simple will be a lot easier on the new board. |

Jim - As an educated guess, it 'should' certainly be possible - we just haven't had a chance to look into those types of customizations yet for me to give a definitive answer. I definitely understand that is something that was helpful to people on this forum and we will check it out once the speed issue is resolved. That's exactly the kind of thing I'm talking about when I say the new forum is not yet a finished product. |

Saying the new board is slower than this one is like saying my car with 2 flat tires is slower than my car with 4 good tires. I like the "look" of this one better too. That aside there is no comparison and when the new one gets the speed issue fixed it is so much better it's not even a debate. Is this one easier? OF course it's easier, it doesn't have anything we can do....AND I wasn't looking for one that had so many bells and whistles but all new forum software does. I guess if you like a Model T it would be simpler too....no power steering, no turn signals, no anything...Folks, it's the 21st Century. Also, remember this is a move I DIDN'T WANT to make either. It was out of necessity. It is broken whether you know it or not.....regards |

In another thread, Leon said one of the reasons this website "sucked" was because he cannot do "sticky" threads, but I have to say I am not crazy about them either -- just another clog between my first click onto the site and my first click onto a new thread. |

After the kinks get worked out on the new board I don't really see too much use for sticky threads. I don't particularly like them either. |

there will only be 1-2 sticky threads anyway, though.....it's not like Leon's gonna put 40 sticky threads that causes you to go to another page. I think the benefit they bring of alerting members to changes/etc, outweighs the minor amount of grief you have getting past them. But.....to each his (or her) own........ |

Good enough. Once the kinks get worked out I do feel you will like the new forum if you come over. It's your call obviously. As for stickys....Ya'll won't be seeing too many of them but I think during the severe issues we are having it's a good thing to let folks know what is going on. Heck, we can do a poll for just about anything on the new board....after we get passed the main slowness issue...I am very unhappy at not having it fixed yet...but it is somewhat out of my hands. |

Jay - it appears that way p. The vBulletin guy was trying to fix the performance issue and it seems he broke something. |

I've been off this board since the new one launched and was surprised to see there are still long threads evolving over here. So for what it's worth, let me give my thoughts on the new board: |

Barry - as was stated many times above, in it's current state, most of us agree with you, but it's not a fair comparison, we need to work out the speed issue and then address usability issues so it's less cluttered, easier to read, etc. |

That's fair Matt, but like I said I just like to read the board. That's the way I enjoy it. All the other features are nice but chances are I won't use too many of them. It's a great board for more tech savvy users. |

When I'm on the new board I usually click on a link, go outside and run around my house a couple of times, go back inside and then it is usually coming up. My wife thinks it's a great way for me to get exercise! |

the main forum is down. Oddly enough the memorabilia is working fine and relatively quick. If Leon HAD any hair, I'm sure he'd be pulling it out by now............ |

I hope it's just a case of the tech guys working on the new board, but I just took a look a minute or so ago and looks like we lost about 9 days worth of postings. |

Because of several people continuously whining like little babies I tried to do a repair and hit a restore in the Database. We might be hosed. I am not sure I want to try it again. We might come back to this one then I will consult a few folks and see if there are a few certain people that will be banned from Net54. I erased what I really want to say about the whining asses.... |

Dan- I just went on and the posts on the main page are from 2005. It looks like it blew a fuse. |
