Hi Lee,

no not exactly a T-model, but I a Mercedes 190E 2,3-16 which I bought in 1985 and drive it (not much) since then. Besides the normal services (brakes, oil, etc.) no problems at all and it still feels like new.Also I own and use my Avant and other B&O stuff since the year 2000 without any problems. That's the main reason I just bought a BV 10 but did not give the Avant away. That's what I meant preferring older things. Better and more reliable. Nothing against new features though and congratulations for a great site!!!

Georgakis:

......older models are almost always better to look at and to use!!

Georgakis

I take it you drive a Ford 'Model T' then?

I think we're all reluctant to change, that's human nature. However, if it's a change for the better - why not? We're working on the new forum with the old look - a sort of happy medium but with the new features.

The same happens with cars, B&O equipment and many other things......older models are almost always better to look at and to use!! My opinion: Let the "old" forum live.

Yes, I prefer the old one too. It was difficult to see what was going on in various parts of the forum.

this "New New Look" forum is great, really nice in fact, but it does remind me a bit of the old "lean and mean" forum :-)

And what is it that every spam bot in the world promises to make bigger?

We have a list of key words that are filtered which seem to work well. The amount of spam we have on here is minimal because of that.

That said, i will reasess the rating of that word and see if it can be changed. Don't wish to offend or exclude Richard and/or his friends!

The shortened form of Richard as a name is not allowed!

I'd suspect there will be many more unanswered questions from members, as you have to click on 'unanswered' to see the questions. Before, they were immediately visible.

Hawaii huh?

Must be time for a Beoluau

I don't know if it is my ISP, but it just seems a little slower, otherwise I'm getting used to the changes as we all will.

As you are probably aware, my state of health is such that I spend most of the day sitting in front of my computer. I am online for much of the day and one of my permanent "Tabs" is BeoWorld.

The more I look at the "new" forum design, the more it is switching me off. What used to be a pleasure is fast becoming tiresome.

The blue coloured text against the blue/grey background is not enough contrast to make the words stand out and therefore easy to spot the function that you require. In a similar vein, the post text colour is not dark enough to make the eye lock on. In short, it is too much effort to read and navigate.

The general forum page is positively hard work. Again, the mass of blue text on blue background is just an encouragement to turn off and those who stick with it will I am sure develop the strongest right index fingers in the world. Click, click, click, just what is all that about?
