I think the new layout is far better, and I have mastered it, however I do understand the frustrations of some who are maybe not so computer literate, The portal has been changed as requested, but I personally would like to see the "current active users" list back next to the current threads, so that everything is on one screen as before, along with the list of "new members",where I use to stick to the Portal , but patience is a virtue, and admin are constantly changing at the request of members. However in saying all that, you will never please everybody, the site had to change, because it could not cope with the numbers of users, and members were complaining of constant faults, so now we have a new server and a new layout, granted the layout is not to everyone's liking, but like myself, feel free to comment, so that the admin are aware of any difficulties, and may be able to assist.http://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif This is my personal opinion, I for one will continue to enjoy this great sitehttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif
