Yea, the new forum looks really nice. But is a complete pain in the neck for users.
How did you feel when cell phones first came into use? Or when you got a TV with a remote control for the first time? Remember when nobody wanted a front wheel drive car? Sure you do. And you'll get used to the new forum too.

Hey, my wife just got me a cell phone, she says our TV has a remote, she says we don't have a front wheel drive car. I should have worked for the CIA, my life is a secret mission. I don't know what's happening till it happens.
I love my trains, Rob
Hey TJ, Can't you just let us dinosaurs fossilize??? Why do you have to drag us kicking and screaming into the New Century? Next thing you'll have us buying nuke power packs to run our trains!

What I privately think is, you've got this forum confused with a different one.

Oh man that is a way bad thing if the wifey got you a cell phone! She will be sure your not at Sue Ann's house running trains. As for the TV we train men just don't have that much time in a day! Remember to grease the universal joints on the fornt wheel drive!!!!!! But for the CIA you did work for them as for the MIBs. So Rob if you don't know what is happening till it does you and me are in the same boat.

That just ain't right man......
The current forum is nowhere near as user friendly as before. The first page of any - Trains, Garden Railways, Classic Trains - is taken up with a mammoth heading occupying nearly the entire screen.
So you're forced to use the mouse just to see what the 2nd thread is about. After scrolling and finding a thread that you click on and read, and then try to return to go to the next one, upon returning you find youre at the beginning so must re-scroll down to where you were before! Not, definitely NOT, user friendly.
Each posting takes up an awful amount of vertical space. Blank space top and bottom; scroll, scroll, scroll just to read one posting. Not user friendly.
And after spending eternity on one forum, scrolling, re-scrolling ad infinitum, trying to peruse another forum requires scrolling way back up the tree and then coming down another root. Again, not user friendly.
Wonder where the Round-up or Spectricide is? This vermin of a forum is killing my mouse!
Don't wander in here much any more.
