I like the extra features
I do like the new look (not to say I didn't like the old one!) and I like the way it is much easier to search for things like all the posts someone has made. I found a number of old posts I made that I had not read peoples replies to, so that was good. I actually think the new HUBB will help make this place feel more like a community, because you can see who is on line and where they are when you are here too. Before, it was more like you where here by yourself. I do think it will be more of a challenge to new users, because there is so much more on every screen, so there is more to choose from. This is always a problem for computer novices, and it takes time to learn the skill of not looking at everything, but only seeing what you need. One thing I don't like is the way the default setting seems to be to show only a day or two's threads when you first go into a forum, until you tell it to show more. For a while I thought that not all the past threads had made it to the new HUBB. Well done Grant and Susan, I know from being in the IT biz that 98% of the work on a project like this is invisible.
Kind regards
