i am not opposed to change at all.
with that said i have to agree with Ron P.
listen with your own ears...
watch with your own eyes...
make your own decision.

On the old HTF site, I liked the fact that the threads on a main page in a forum showed you how many pages of replies there were. I used that feature all the time because I didn't like clicking into a thread and having to click page after page to get where I wanted to be. For the most part I could go right to the exact page I wanted, unless it was a very large thread.
Will we have that again?
Also, it was much easier to differentiate between threads replied to yesterday and threads replied to today due to using a bold font on today's date.

You know, if Ronbo and Parker want more advert revenue maybe they should consider buying out this small HT forum.

I've been going back to school and haven't had nearly as much time to hang out here as I used to, but I just have to say there needs to be an option at least to have messages displayed the old way, and to turn that floating "Other Threads" thing off. I can see how it might be useful to some people, but to me it's annoying and wastes too much screen space- when the messages are confined to a smaller space, the more scrolling I have to do, and the more scrolling I have to do, I get angry, and when I get angry.....

You just click the "multi-quote" button for each post you want to quote, and then click the "quote" button on one of the posts and you get what you see in this post of mine.

I was completely lost on how to use this feature as well.
New question: Many times after I post when I hit the button to go back to the forums the screen just brings me back to my completed post. Any one else having this problem?

What "button" are you pressing? If you're just pressing the browser's "back" button, that's where you should end up.

Is there a way to make threads "sticky" in the new interface? I don't see anything. How am I supposed to follow the "watch all your BDs in 2009" thread as I fail miserably at the task?

Must admit I've been lucky when it comes to ads on the forum, no ghastly teeth ads or Amex counting meters just the usual FHM ads featuring nubile young ladies in various stages of undress... no, I kid... I get a Wynn ad at the top and a fiber optic broadband ad in the great white abyss to the right here and at the bottom of the page a RAM ad.

6 Weeks and it all looks exactly the same to me, more readable and not as bright perhaps but still the same thing we saw on that fateful day in early July... I remember back on the old forum when Parker would change the colour scheme to coincide with an upcoming movie or dvd, and people complained... [wipes tear]
