New board is terrible.
This new software is absolutely awful. Everything takes forever. Making a post the page never refreshes, it just sits there until you press post again and it tells you that it's a duplicate post. It took me several minutes to make one post in hardware and about five minutes to change from hardware to suggestions.

I don't like it at all.

They are called bugs I think, Mike will get it sorted out, with the help of Dan of course, give it a week or two.

Rome wasn't built in a day.

Read this and then maybe turn that thumb up the other way:

Seeing you have been on here about a month you would think you would have a little more tolerance for a "Free" forum that is trying too improve the way it performs and give it some time to get the bugs out.

Is the font the same? Same size?
I seem to be having a little trouble reading the site this morning.
As I type into this reply window, the font looks 'good' to me, what I see in the post is smaller and the light blue background makes it harder to read, IMHO.

I was just typing up a question to BM asking the same thing and hit the wrong key and lost it.

Absolutely smaller...in the edit box or quickreply box it appears as before but when entered in the main forum it appears as the small size...hopefully just a bug... very tough to read and not changeable with the usual methods at least in IE

Hi Deke and good morning

Saw in another thread to hold down control and use the scroll wheel to increase font size.
Works in Firefox.
The blue background though is a bit hard on my eyes.

My 2 cents worth ...
Very hard to read and the back button is inoperative .. sometimes ???
Where's the button to switch it back to "Windows Classic" ???

I hadn't tried that as I figured it would make all the other sites too large.

I can get the ctrl/scroll to work everywhere but here.

With the "Henry IV" ID I was shocked to see you are from Texas. It must have some other conotation than what you would think on first look. Where in Texas? I am in Freeport.
