    Is this going to happen? Maybe take a poll. I would think it would be overwhelmingly in favor of separating the models.

    I seem to be going on F-Chat less and less after the change. I’ve experimented with the different looks and it just doesn’t feel right. Is there a way to increase the size of the font? It’s way too small for me. I want to like the site because I love all the knowledge exchange and points of view.

    Visually, it's distracting somehow. There's too many boxes... It's just busy whereas on the old site each post was far more distinct. Things just run together in this new version and it's too stark. Feature-wise it's nice but ibdidnt have issues with old site. I'm all for moving forward but this hasn't grown on me at all and think I maybe coming a bit less actually when I think about it.

    known problem with http/https - log out and clear cookies before logging back in. I think we have a fix for it this week.

    Rob - Look on an iPad via Chrome (without an ad blocker) and you'll see the big blue bars between each forum name. It's like the Chrome browser on iPad doesn't know how to display the inline sponsor images.

    MUCH better than the first harrowing days, as well as getting acclimated. Would still like the old regional tags in the area subforums,: DFW, HOU, AUS, etc. reapplied to the pre-existing threads like the Spotters threads.

    Sorry, as of now we can't do that, we did add them for new threads and can go back to add tags to threads you report. Still possible we can go back to do the old ones.

    How do I get the "Old or blue styles?" I really don't like the bright white format.
    thanks,

    Old site was much cleaner and I used to be a more frequent visitor; new one does not inspire as much unfortunately. Hard to describe, it was almost like a daily or every few days instinct to think about surfing to a clean site which was not as busy as the new one (too many options, Share page, replies, RSS feed options, etc., etc.).

    Old site was not that much easier, but it was learned behavior and habit. Once everyone gets used to new software, it will become a habit again. sometimes it is important to learn new tricks.

    I turn down my brightness setting on my pad or phone. It's the only way I can look at the site. Other then, that I like it.

    The thing I like the most about this new format is when you click on a thread you have already visited it automatically takes you to your first unread post...I REALLY like that! Makes it so much better than having to scroll and search where you left off. Its spoiled me to the point that when I visit other forums it bothers me they don't have this feature.

    I was one of the skeptics early on but overall the new site is very good!
