This has gone about far enough.

I'm just about done listening to people being nasty and mean-spirited. So are other members of the forum who have lodged complaints about this thread being full of vitrol.

(And no... Bagginsbill is NOT who this is directed to... I just happened to wake up and read the thread at this point!)

The new forum roll-out contains several features that users have been asking for... some for about ten years! There has been a lot of time and money invested in it. Somewhere along the way, it would have been nice had someone thanked us for what we have done... which is what the OP was trying to do when she started the thread. However, like threads on all new things the past several years, the nay-sayers immediately took over and began the campaign to beat it to death. I wish my powers of prediction were not as good as they seem to be.

If you have problems with the way the programmers have implemented the new forum software, kindly do as a number of members have done in this thread... DOCUMENT THE PROBLEM and suggest a solution. Snarley has hit the nail on the head... regardless of what we do some people will like it, some will not. The fact that new features are present should indicate that we are listening. We will continue to listen IF people will show a modicum of respect and appreciation along the way.

Being nasty, snide, and mean-spirited (which is par for the course around here, it seems) does nothing other than to create ill-will. Frankly, were I on the coding team, (which I am NOT) I would be inclined to completely ignore the rude and somewhat abusive comments of some of the posters here.

Constructive suggestions are always welcome. A bashing session is not.

Unless you have positive, constructive suggestions, I suggest that you retire from this thread, lest it be locked.

I'm also not open for a discussion of this post. Either post something that will help us solve your perceived problem, or move on. Period.

You got me?

If you don't, I'll be happy to handle things with official repremands via sitemail. Works great for me either way.
