Still getting used to the new forum?

[Sideshow Spock]

It's been a few months since the new MM forum debuted, and I still find myself getting used to it. I admit that I was initially turned off by the new design and found myself spending less time here. But I've been trying to post more and get used to things.. change is tough, I learned that from Mikey..

I'm still mourning the change in RTM's format, as are many other folks, evidenced in this thread:

I used to go there daily, but now almost never.

I know it's a fine line for site owners.. balancing necessary change while keeping posters happy and maintaining traffic..

I'm completely acclimated to the new Mego site now - have a hard time remembering what the old one looked like.

If you come every day - and interact daily - it doesn't take long for the site to become like an old friend.

If you come once in a blue moon - it will feel new and uncomfortable every time you come.

Yesterday I accidently deleted my entire PM inbox ... So i'm still getting used to it too

My memory is so poor, I can't remember the old forum.
I had a hard enough time remembering my password to get logged in...

Not liking it but I understand they needed to upgrade. I did get a temp job recently and that's why I haven't been on as much.

Does this new forum load slower for anyone else except me ?

When I click on each page it takes a few seconds for each page to load in.- - sometimes 8 - 10

I was told it should be the same as the old forum but it's not.

Am I crazy ?

Not slower for me.
Still getting used to a bit. Hard to figure which gallery to use and the banner ad is chunky real estate when on desktop version.

But the good news is the app access is terrific and makes all issues for me zero!!!!

Generally it's doesn't seem slower for me except when creating a post or PM message - it can take awhile for all the icon on the top of the message area to load.

As to are you crazy - only someone that knows you can answer that.

Me too. I second or third or fourth that emotion. I don't post much anymore but read as much as I can. Too darn busy. I guess I've become a long long time lurker these days. I have mine set to seventies child, or sometimes mobile because when I'm at work I cannot have allot of large pictures of toys popping up on my screen when I'm trying to take a quick minute to read something. It would attract negative attention.
