Great now im officially terrified.

If the rest of the forums are any indication, theres gonna be lots of worthless salad dressing and ridiculous asthetics and the base fuctionality is going to go right down the damn toilet - but everyone is gonna insist how bitchin it is im sure.

I guess weve all accepted that a forum that keeps track of individual read threads and includes PM alerts is just out of the question/beyond the ability of the new forum coders.

I spent a good portion of last night saving my whole gallery, thank god its small, to my local harddrive as webpages, to retain my comments, hit counts, and original layout. Not a moment too soon, I see, as I just went to my gallery and the number of views for every image is GONE.

Anybody care to take bets as to whether well ever enjoy this feature again or should we all assume its going to just never come back like the PM alerts?

I suppose on the grand scale, we should be gratefull our coders arent car designers. We would have a bunch of deathtraps out there with no headlights, no brakes, no safety belts, but everyone would be screaming from the rooftoops how great the musical horns and floor carpeting is......
