I dont like this new format either.  It takes longer to load and is difficult to navigate from one disscussion to the next, you keep having to hit the back button repeatedly or go back to the start page.  http://www.vbulletin.com/ is a better option for a discussion.  I am a member of a couple of discussion groups that use this software and it is very user friendly.  It many of the same features of this one and then some.  The format is easier to use and it has a search feature so you can search for a particular subject you may be looking for.

 Just a suggestion for a future upgrade.  :)

I didn't realize till just now that the discussion line "Chat Page to Change" was the same as "Changes to Discussion Forum"  that's where I posted my response and now I see everyone else has posted here.

I tried reposting my response here to make it easier.....but this new format will not allow me to copy and paste and I would have to re-write my post.  So if you want to see my response you will have to go the "Changes to Discussion Forum".
