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.

No worries....and I think with that very recent image loading change from our pc's, we are getting closer to the ease of the old board. There are still a bit more bells and whistles than I really wanted with this new s/w but I think over time it will be even easier to use than the old board. I feel everyone's pain that didn't really want to come to the new board. My guess is that the majority of folks that don't think the new board is better are folks that didn't post a lot on the old board or posted mainly pictures. Maybe the recent changes will help that. In a few months maybe we will take another poll like this. It's a little disheartening to see the number of folks that liked the old board better....

Leon a 25 % issue is very normal
I learned a great lesson in 1974; during the final days of the Nixon Presidency when the polls all indicated that 25 Percent of Americans STILL supported Nixon even after the smoking gun relevation came out.
No matter what you would have done on the board; 25 percent of our users would not have liked the change. So whomever had that signature of change your socks; and keep going. Use that now and we can all continue to move on with our lives Rich
