The format of this board is better.
The old board allowed larger images to be posted. In that regard the old board was better. And pasting a PhotoBucket link was easier than going back to CP, then to an album, then uploading an image, then back to the album, then finding the image to find the link. Before, the link was right there once you uploaded the image. The new process is acceptable, wish it allowed for larger images. The old board also allowed for a link to email someone who'd posted. What this board does is allow for a message within the board site, and then sends an email that the message was sent. I liked the way the old board functioned in that regard. The new board allows for typing, format, color, and alignment options that are vastly better than the old board. The new board loads quicker. The 40 post limit is acceptable. I've not even looked at the B/S/T, but I believe what's posted above. All in all, a good, sensible move. Thank you.

The new board offers you the ability to do so many things the old board was not capable of.
The beauty of the new board is for those that want to keep it simple you can do just the things you did on the old board and still participate. Win/Win

Amen, SkyBar... gotta love those Old Mills!!!
And Tim is right, it is win/win. Dinosaurs (I include myself in that) can figure out the basics here without much difficulty at all. FW

Sorry for the late bump, but just want to say I really like the new board. The search issues I had with the previous attempt are gone. I can now locate just about any thread of interest (complete and searchable archives).
Thanks !

with all the new people (and old members suspiciously changing login ids) can we add a feedback score for each user? that would involve more work for the mods. i just don't want to be rip off...again.

important update!!! NOW 80 posts per page, if you want?
Since Corey suggested it, and I didn't know it could be done until Matt just told me, I have made the # of posts that can be seen in each thread go in increments up to 80. So now instead of 40 you can have 50,60,70 or 80.....
NOW THAT BEING SAID....please realize that if you make your number bigger in you Admin Conrol Panel (CP) then your download time will be effected (slower), since you will be downloading more data at once. ALSO, there is a very small chance that this could effect everyone and we have to go back to the lower post count per page but I doubt that will happen. As of right now everyone should be able to go set their viewable posts per thread to 80 if you want to. I don't think we want to go higher than that for now.....Lets see how that works for a while and go from there.....thanks again for the positive, constructive feedback. My apologies for not remembering this could be done, as Matt enlightened me that we did speak about it before.....

next = previous
On the old board clicking “next topic” took you to the thread below the one you were looking at.
On the new board “previous thread” takes you down the page and “next thread” takes you up the page. Seems counter-intuitive to this Luddite. Plus, “previous” and “next” appear only at the end (bottom) of each thread, while “next topic” appeared at both top and bottom - unless I'm missing something. Posting pics used to be as easy as pasting a URL into your post. Now the process seems convoluted. Both of these issues, to me, slow things down. Maybe I’ll get used to it.

Hey Bruce
"Posting pics used to be as easy as pasting a URL into your post. Now the process seems convoluted."
Unless I am missing something on this I think we might have gone from 1 click to 2 clicks....but not much more than that? All you do is click on the little yellow square box right above here For me the small issue is having to load my pic on my personal site, to host it, if I want it to be a larger image in this post....since I don't use photobucket.
