I liked the old board. I could list the new messages easily and read the ones that had relevance.Now I find that messages I have posted just disapear. I have looked on this site for the last four nights and it does not seem to have new stuff on it, or if it does it takes longer to find.
I feel very upset as I have found this site as a lifeline for the last year, meanwhile feet,knees,hips,neck hands and thumbs are just getting more painful.

well, you are the second one to complain. but I am sorry to seem a bit harsh, but did you read the "getting started" link on the left screen? did you ask for an account so that you are able to check for new messages easy? did you press the "last day" link on the left? you can also press "tree view" and you see exactly the same as on the last board, only with the advantage that you see the new messages right away.

please read first and join the group of happy people. and please, don't tell me that you were happy with a 240 Kb board with a lot of spam as well

Eventually this new board-style will be better, but it does take some getting used to! E.g. the "don't remember this check"-box caused me some confusion. At first, since it apears right next the password field, I thought it was for not remembering the password, I thought it meant "If you don't want this site to remember your password, check here", so I constantly got the message that my checking for messages was not recorded, it took me some time to figure it out. Some of us are on rather heavy painkillers... But, Mariette, I very much appreciate the work you do for us.

Mariette,
i like the new board, once you understand the way it works,its alot easier than the old one to search etc.A great improvement on soemthing that was already pretty wonderful!!

thanks. indeed. the account is only necessary for the handy feature of checking for new messages. you need to have cookies enables. no problem, since it does not harm anything at all ;-) this way you can easily check for new messages since the last time you visited. with the tree view it is sometimes easier to see what has been posted.

hope you will all enjoy. it is faster and much easier to use, but OK, maybe some of the posters/visitors have to get used to the new style ;-)
