Pumeco,

We are moving the entire site to the PHP platform not just forums so we couldn't just leave them on the old format and add features.  Over and over again the Community told us how outdated and awful our  old forums were and we did listen.  Not everyone likes the PHP base but certainly it can't be expected that everyone in a large group such as this would. There are good things and bad things always with change but in life change is  inevitable.   Also with change it takes some getting used to and time for everything to come together.  When we had our Community survey we had a very large percentage of members requesting PHP forums. 

I'm sorry you feel the way you do but certainly you are entitled to and thank you for expressing your concerns.
