I've given the new board a fair shake.

2 gripes that I have.........

1. When viewing a thread in the "active" threads section, you have no idea where that thread was posted. Someone made a thread in the aircraft section about "how much would you spend for a kit?". I jumped in and talked about how much kits can be with additional tracks, barrels, etc (armor), and sort-of made an a** of myself. I didn't know the thread was in the aircraft section.

2. No scrollover. Sometimes I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT A THREAD IS ABOUT so I have to click on it, only to simply leave right away after seeing what it's about. With most any vBulletin forums if you simply hold the cursor over a thread (without clicking it), the first 2 sentences will appearso you can see what it's about without having to enter the thread. It speeds things up IMMENSELY!

Navigation isn't as easy as before, lots of errors and additional steps to do to get back to the post you were reading and elected to comment on.

I know upgrading to a better forum management package was something FSM had to do, but this particular setup isn't working for many. I too find it frustrating at times. What took me 30 minutes to do each morning now takes me longer. Guess that means my morning read will just require two cups of coffee.

I will say that I do visit more threads that I probably otherwise wouldn't have with the new "active forums" screen.

Same here!

I'm getting a good number of errors just going to genre pages, let alone opening up individual threads. I've had more errors just this month that the past several years combined.

I find it slightly slower, but not enough to be of concern although I am getting more server errors that previously.

What browser are you using?

Do you have dial-up? Cuz it's really not slow on hi-speed internet.
