    I'll third it. While yes - there's some issues here and there, overall this is an improvement.

    Perhaps I'm missing something, but once you visit a thread - and end up at the bottom of the page - is there a link down here to go back to the parent forum of the thread? Back isn't always an option if you've read through 2+ pages of posts - right now I need to scroll back up, or select my bookmark. Did I miss a link?

    This is seriously wacko IMO:

    "way to sort thread so newest posts show first? - not an option on new software"

    Threads are displayed newest to oldest, but posts are displayed oldest to newest? My logic gland just exploded forcing me to check "not acceptable"...

    I agree with you, but we're a minority. the old FerrariChat 15+ years ago forced users to view new to old, but so many complaints had to give option and then default to old to new because that's how 90% preferred. now people like you and me use to the old old FerrariChat new to old still had that option selected and use to it. as far as we can tell so far that's not an option now. :(

    If that's so, why are threads still newest to oldest, and why aren't those same "90%" upset about that?

    I'd like to see New Posts auto-refreshing. Since it's there anyway, it kinda feels old that it doesn't automatically put new posts in there while you're reading something else.

    I cannot get to any of the sticky threads on the 308/328 forum. All the technical stuff like Robs DIY threads.

    one of the nice things about this software is there are a LOT of 3rd party add-ons that can eventually be tested and then if they work the way Jack and Rob want, can be implemented here to add/tweak functions. That's not something the old stuff still had going for it, being 15 years old.

    the guys are humping it up, best they can, I'm sure Rob is prioritizing with Jack, but really the only way to shake all this out is to get it out there and let us use it.

    Is there anyway to make the posts more condensed so that we don't have so much empty space between posts... otherwise if the right side could somehow collapse .. would be nice...

    for now you can minimize your window just a little to get rid of right. we're going back and forth with the developers now.

    it's the biggest downside for me so far....inefficient. 2 posts per screen. constant scrolling....

    I hate being a complainer....i'm just wondering if this would keep me from using it or not....it'll take awhile. If it's too much work (meaning: much at all)....I know I won't come here much. Not sayin' others wont'.....

    IMHO :
    are there scripts running in the background? My cursor is sluggish as heck on the new site.
    I had the NEW MESSAGES floating window obstructing the messages until I realized I wasn't signed on.
    I think the messages take too much screen space and too much scrolling is involved.
    Maybe it's my eyes, but the old pics seem washed out Though I'm happy the pics survived, not like the crash of '05 was it? (Nevermind. it must just have been the initial pics I was looking at. In the 355 pics thread, they look fine)
    I'm running IE 11.0.45 and there's issues with the CSS/Fonts

    Next: I see my job title in profiles is out-dated. Where's the EDIT button or such? - Found it. In "MY ACCOUNT". BTW: there are two entries for occupation. Mid list & end of list.
