The workaround worked just fine. Thank you. \*\* grumble \*\* I still liked the old board better. šŸ™‚ Itā€™s a little better now thereā€™s more activity, though. Wot about good Karma? ---

Iā€™m SO glad that when Iā€™ve crafted a response, and click on ā€œPREVIEW REPLYā€ that the reply which I wish to preview vaporizes into the cyber void. This is, of course, sarcasm. (Oh, I wonā€™t be previewing it.) ---

I canā€™t find my post from early May. It was very detailed and I need to print the information so I can go to the dealership to complain - another serpentine belt broken in 3 months and they wonā€™t look any further than replacing the belt. It would be helpful to be able to search by Posterā€™s name, or even by date or month of posting, and it would be nice to get back the feature that tags posts you are interested in looking at again. ---

Yep, everytime I change boards I have to log in. But in a week it wonā€™t be a problem, becasue 1 the board will fixed or 2 I wonā€™t be here anymore. Its up to the web monkeys to decide if I stay or if I go. My opinions are subject to change with new facts. ---

I was not a frequent poster on the old board, but I always checked in a couple times a day to see what was going on. Since this new board came on line, the first week I checked in daily, then maybe a couple times a week, now its been a couple weeks since checking in. Nothing here causes me to come back. I frequent a lot of forums, but I have yet to see one as unfriendly or confusing as this one has become. I believe the designers of this board must be a cousins of the new car design engineersā€¦ Make something so confusing and hard to work with as you can. Iā€™m sure my absence isnā€™t going to make or break this board, but I see no inclination it will improve. Seems the powers that be are determined to keep this mess on line. Good luck folks! ---

I have found plenty of web sites which, I think, are much more cumbersome than this one. Itā€™s not easy to navigate [wikipedia.com](http://wikipedia.com). It, at first glance, appears easy; but, itā€™s not! I tried to post a question on [about.com](http://about.com) and was unsuccessful. It isnā€™t clearly (or, unclearly) marked in a navigatory manner. Of course, I could spend some of my non-valuable time and finally get there. The biggest hindrance to navigating most sites is getting past all the advertising traps that are place at every turn. This site isnā€™t as bad with the advertising traps; but it still has them because itā€™s setup to profit [cars.com](http://cars.com). ---

If you read the bulk of the comments, we are NOT talking about the website. Weā€™re talking about the bulletin board. I have not seen another bulletin board more buggy and user unfriendly. The sad thing is that the old board was far superior to this board. Unfortunately, I think cartalk canā€™t find/fund enough moderators and doesnā€™t have enough funds to buy a decent bulletin board software. ---

This new forum is very confusing compared to the former one. I donā€™t even know how to post a questions and the search feature leaves something to be desiredā€“how do I get into threads!? I believe you when you say this gives us more features, but it is definitely NOT user-friendlyā€¦ā˜¹ ---

I have always come to cartalk to ask important car repair questions. I have never had a problem, but now, they canā€™t find my login, I canā€™t find my way around the forum, and it is totally NOT user-friendly. Iā€™ve given it a try and Iā€™m sorry to say, Iā€™ve given up, I hope when I come back in the future, this is easier/better or the old board is back! ---

It is missing the first time you try to post in a given login session. After you have posted once in your login session, the cursor appears. ---

Goodbye all. Itā€™s been nice, Iā€™ll check back time to time. I wish this new board would have worked out, but it hasnā€™t and it seem we have been shown the door. I say that because we haven?t had ANY real response from the web monkeys. I may have found a place to start the unofficial car talk BBS, if it checks out and if I get a few volunteers to help out, I?ll start the unofficial car talk BBS. I would need some volunteers to keep trolls and such away. It?s been fun, I?ve really enjoyed it here, but after standing around and waiting and waiting, I?m getting the hint. I know we, all of us, are not really that important here, I say that because the NEWEST post from Keith Hopper I could find was from 06/06/2007 6:01:54 PM. Well, like I said nice talking to you all, if the new site looks like it?ll work out I?ll post back for volunteers. My opinions are subject to change with new facts.
