Wowza! Looks great!

Nice job, Alzconnected Team! The layout and design, the smoothness of the command executions - looks and feels wonderful!

However, I will miss the warm and fuzzy nostalgia I had for the 90's every time I logged onto the old site. ;)

    I like it too! Much more compatible with my android phone. Love the larger print and the ability to stay logged in! And yes, the old one reminded me of the early 90s boards before we called it the internet :-)

    Oh noes! Me and Holly Berry are the only ones digging it! Dangit. I think it's swell, but I do hate to not be one of the cool kids. I hope it grows on 'ya!

    I have to give her some credit because she is seeing it after some of the changes have been made base on others complaints.

    It's definitely a "modern" forum, I'll give it that. I wish they had chosen software that paid more attention to accessibility and usability though.

    Lickety, perhaps you know the answer. I have posted three times and I have not gotten an answer. It is about points. I have 29 point. What do these refer to?

    I hate points. This is not about a competition and none of us want to even post yet AA thinks this is a good thing. WHAT A BUNCH Of IDIOTS at AA. They think this is one big joke of what we are dealing with.

    Iris! I don't know either, but I did get an email telling me I'm a Level 3! I don't know what that means but I'm expecting a big trophy and a substantial cash prize in the mail when I reach Level 10. ;)

    Is that what the points are for, Michael? How long we have been on the forums or something?

    I'm not going to remember you for how long you've been dealing with this. I'm going to remember you for courage.

    The birthday cakes and level numbers are the indicator of how long you’ve been on the forum. So three years for you. The points are something else and they are working to remove them

    Lickety's birthday cake has "5", meaning 5 years. QBC's birthday cake has "2", for two years. I thought you were here longer. What does it matter, anyway? BTW, the numbers are so tiny I can barely see them.

    It's kinda cool to know when you're reading someone's advice how many years they've been in the game? That might be the reasoning, Iris? I dunno. I just like the new set up even though there's some stuff that I don't get. :)
