I'm sorry, but it does not agree with me.

I thought the old format was fine.

Why was it changed?

When the original AM Window BBS folded, the AM Forum BBS was a whole new application-it took time for people to get used to.  The previous version of this board did not offer as many features, among other webmaster related items to ensure easier upgrades.  The operators of this board spend countless hours providing a service for all who want to partake...THANKS for your input.

"He who has the gold, writes the rules". If it is easier for the owners of the board, changes will be in their favor. After all it is their time and money that makes all this possible, even the old BBS.

So the internet and a radio are somewhat alike; don't like what you hear, turn the dial; don't like what you see, change is just one click away.

Hoopie,

As I said in my other post,

"I know change is tough and frankly it isn't easy on this side either.

 The object of this excercise is to provide a better system that offers more user options, better security, less downtime and less admin time required to keep the site up."

It's fine by me. I don't care too much what the BBS format is, or what it looks like (too much), so long as it's here for our use.  Yes, I dislike the "reverse" format, (white on black), but I can live with it.

Gary, does this new BBS provide user selectable formats, like the old BBS did?
