WOW Donna you've been busy.

New forum, new look, new tools. LOTS of new features.

Give us a little time. Lots of new features, but it takes a little while for US to learn the new stuff too.

We just had problems earlier this week with the software...so Donna decided to upgrade.

Everything is not perfectly set, but we'll get there.

Personally, I like the tabs at the top and lots of access to new things...like a better search capability. You can also hit search and find "posts since your last visit".

Look through it and let us know what you find. Lots of stuff.

Lookin Good! Keep up the great work. U R appreciated, Smokin and Cookshack team.

I tried earlier to ask about this NEW stuff but got " Message_body is manditory you must enter a value for it " I'm not very good at NEW stuff !!

Sorry to bust someone's bubble but I prefer the old style better. It did the job it was supposed to. My grandpa used to say "when it's not broke, leave it alone". By the way! How do you proof read the message before sending for typos, etc?

I liked the old one better too (not complaining at all). We'll get used to this on I'm sure. Different is sometimes difficult for us old foaggies (sp) but if we can't navigate just blame it on dementia It's gonna hit sooner or later anyway.

It's easy to gripe and complain but I choose to learn the new site and move on!

Thanks to Donna, Stuart and all the CS crew. Smokin, you're still top-dog in my book!

Let's BBQ!!!

I'm not gett'in it, to many errors ..

Sorry you don't like it, but there were plenty of problems behind the face of the forum that CS decided to change.

Sorry but it's not going back. The old software was no longer supported and was broke so it changed.

If you had any idea how much time is spent on it, you appreciate the change.

Since it's been up all of a day, maybe a little time will make it better.

Looking under the "New" tab it appears that we can now create a photo album....can we now upload our own pictures to the forum?

Lots of advantages to the new Forum. Just give it a chance people and be patient.

Kudos on your efforts Donna...you've done a great job.

It is always tough to get used to something new or different, but I imagine we'll all be sailing through here with ease in no time flat...

i like the new look. being a computer dummy was fun trying to get on. finially had the thing send me a password by email and poof here i is and a new password is posted on the puter screen.

I like what I've seen so far- there are some different bells & whistles to check out.

Smoky,

But it WAS broken, that's why we fixed it. :-)

I don't know about proofing but will find out.

Thanks, Joe. All I did was ask someone else to do the work. :-)
