Do not like the changes at all
Yep. I expect to see some grumbles from some of the newer members who were used to one thing. Some of the long-term members can remember back to that summer when we went through three different forums trying to find one that would handle the traffic! We had to re-register, lose posts, lose post counts. Now THAT was a pain (mostly for Andrus!)
Just hang in there, and take some time to read, read, read. Figure out the new features (I know it's overload) on one of the lesser used forums until you get the hang of things. It will be okay. :D
