The forum operates much slower than before for me too.  With the old forum, if you quoted somebody’s post, just click “quote” and it happened instantaneously—a split second and it was done.  Now it takes about 15 seconds because it has to load for some reason.  Before, if you only wanted to quote part posts, you just highlighted the part you wanted, and clicked “quote” and it happened.  Now, if you highlight only a part of a post to quote, it still quotes the entire post, so you have to go back and delete the parts of the quote you don’t want.  This takes still more time.  <o:p></o:p> There is no rhyme or reason to the font size control and paragraph set-off by spacing.  Sometimes it reduces the font size by one step when you post.  Sometimes it doesn’t.  Sometimes I post 12 pt. when I want 10 pt., and it displays in 10 pt.  Sometimes when I post in 10 pt., it displays 10 pt.  This discrepancy also operates between what is composed as a post and what it previews.  <o:p></o:p> With paragraphs, sometimes double spacing displays as double spacing.  But sometimes it displays as triple spacing.  And sometimes, it just single spaces (no space).  This stuff just goes round and round.  <o:p></o:p> And then these discrepancies may change between the preview and the final displayed post.  So preview is worthless, because it means nothing.  You can use preview to proof read your post, but you might as well go ahead and post without preview, and then proof read the actual posted message.  If you want to change something, just edit the post. <o:p></o:p> It is a waste of time to preview because the preview may not be accurate, so you may have to edit the post even after you previewed it.<o:p></o:p> I agree with a comment by someone earlier about software developers and programmers always wanting to add razzle-dazzle bells and whistles as an end in itself rather than for a useful purpose.  Programmers and marketers show off to each other rather than give the customers what they need and want.  A lot of times, you need more computer just to run the new bells and whistles.<o:p></o:p> This forum upgrade was announced well in advance as a big improvement over the old forum.  How many users think it is an improvement?  As I recall, the promised improvement was said to lie mainly in the member-to-member networking.  Was this something to sort of jump on the social networking craze that is sweeping the country?<o:p></o:p>
