No question - great move. Stable platform - not had one problem accessing the forum since the move against regular issues before. To me this is the key factor, not too concerned about presentational qualities as long as I can read the posts easily and navigate ok.
You are quite right Mike. It's the stability of the software and the reliability of the servers and the man who maintains them that's all important. The rest is really just eye candy but very nice eye candy. At least when anyone looks at our front page there's no doubt about where our interest lies.
I'm very happy with the changes. Like all changes it just takes a little time to become adjusted to them. It's like when I buy a new car, it takes about two weeks of driving to get used to it. You go to reach for a knob and it's not there, it took me four weeks to figure out the windshield wipers, I was always washing the stupid window when it was raining out. :It's a no no BUT, that doesn't mean I'll never buy a new car again.
I like the look of this forum, the feel will come.
