First you'll notice bigger picture. Post your own bigger avatar!

It should be easier to compose the posts now. Note: old IBB codes are not working anymore. You should use HTML codes, which shouldn't be a big problem with the new text editor.

Polls feature. E.g. do we like the new version?

There should be a bunch of other enhancement including more detailed help.

Let's give it a try

Kamuelamom Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,808 Last Post: 10/20/2006 Member Since: 4/18/2003	Leonid, I have the advantage of viewing this new version tonight since I am way behind the time zones from most others. So in the words of Carmen Electra, "do I like it or do I love it????" I LOVE IT!! Can you add that to the poll options? Hehe.. New look, fresh colors, bigger avatar for my 40+ failing eyesight. Can we build the smiley bank?? Thanks for the time you put in to upgrade to the new server. So far so good. Thanks for a great site, incase I don't say that often enough. Ooooh, and I like how the smilies don't jump to the very bottom of my post now.

I right clicked on one of the Custom Avatars he made, and clicked on Properties and found out! I amaze myself everyday I tell you! ~~ Dancin Girl ~~ "I get up ~ I walk ~ I fall down.

I had thought we'd need an alternate site for our use today, but you are up and running! Great job! Now I really need to pick a photo for my avatar. I can't have your stock one sitting there now that you have given each one so much more space! A Girl's Best Friend

This summer we bought fresh lobsters at the one in Dover and boiled them up...delicious. But...their clam chowder is what I love. Anyway, I commented on incredibly busy they were there, and was told that it was a local institution. I figured you must have heard of it!

Mara Ideal Rock Total Posts: 27,930 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 10/30/2002	I may be the only one but I find the avatars TOO darn big. I don't necessarily want a big 128x128 picture of whoever's post I am reading in my line of vision the entire time. It's almost scary. The old ones were a little too small, but IMO these are a little too big. My poor little Buttercup looks like she is going to claw your face. 128x128 sizing should be saved for ad space! However the rest of the stuff is VERY COOL and I love the ease of use. Great job Leo.... OH and I wanted to add too that I love the poll idea in this post, and think that the site itself could benefit from weekly polls run.. it would be fun to run some polls like 'If money was no object, would you want a Tiffany diamond' and 'What matters more, size or cut' and 'What size is the perfect upgrade diamond' etc...some of the questions that people ask alot around here. We get SO many new people per day and per week (check the logins when you login and you will see there are something usually like 30 reg members and 300 anonymous!) that it would be great to have some sort of sampling of people's thoughts over a week to refer to in later posts and/or to have posted somewhere on the site so that people could review it. ________________________________ "Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." -Albert Einstein

Also, while I love the new format, I'm frustrated with the sssllllllloooooooooooowwwww loading and frequent error pages I'm getting. A good deal of the time (especially at night), I cannot even get into the forum because the page takes more than 4 minutes to load! UGH. Stylistically, I really like it, but if it means the lag in getting in, I'd rather sacrifice something....anything...to make it faster. _____________________ Note: Chainsaw Not Sold Separately.
