@VDCdriver What is a conservative mindset? Somebody who supports conservation? ---

Proverbial dianasaur? Head in the sand? Change is a constant imho, though the pendulim swings from one side to the other. ---

**^** All I can do is to refer you to dictionary definitions, such as: con·serv·a·tive 1. Holding to traditional attitudes and values and cautious about change or innovation, typically in relation to politics or religion. synonyms: traditionalist, traditional, conventional, orthodox, old-fashioned, dyed-in-the-wool, hidebound, unadventurous, set in one’s ways; moderate, middle-of-the-road, buttoned-down; 1. A person who is averse to change and holds to traditional values and attitudes, typically in relation to politics. As to being a proverbial “diana saur”, I have to say that I am not familiar with that woman. I recall Dinah Shore and her love for Chevys, but I don’t know who Diana Saur might be. What kind of car does/did she favor? Did she invent sauerkraut? 😃 ---

It will take awhile to get used to the new format but it shows some promise 👍 ---

So that’s what happened. Haven’t logged in in awhile and was wondering what had happened, especially when my bookmarked page said it was no longer available, but still allowed a log in. ---

It was somewhat of a pain to sign in as like so many reincarnations someone thinks it’s fun to throw useless obstacles into a gauntlet for those becoming freshmen again to run… RAH-RAH-RAH, HAH-HAH-HAH. Oh well. Time will tell. ---

> [@common\_sense\_answer](#): > > My rural electric company converted a great web-site to a new-fangled web-site and I can no longer use it for obtaining bills and submitting readings. Now I’m knocked back to the stone-age and must mail a reading or phone it in… Do any of your cell phone services have 4G? If so then get a good cell-phone that supports 4G and use it as a hot-spot…or just buy a hot-spot device. Get unlimited data, or as high as you can. 4G is about as good as DSL. I’ve had to use it a few times when in a rural area and no WiFi or when I was waiting at home for Comcast to fix our cable. It was very fast. ---

_ **Hey, where am I?** _ _ **I was tumbling around and there were flashing lights and lots of wind and noise!** _ 😵 This looks like a strange place. I’m a little battered and shaken, but now I need to find a map, some food and water, and figure out how to get around. **I guess the important thing is…** **I made it!** 🙂 Right? Can anybody hear me or see me? 😨 _ **CSA** _ ---

Yes we can… The page scroll is flipping up and down, possibly to center the adds, and the look is entirely different but it seems to work. This will take a little getting used to… ---

CSA! You made it! I remember years back when we exchanged some emails because you got locked out of your account for a while. This is progress. As for the flipping screen and the abnormality of the ads, @mustangman, we are working on it. ---

Yes, this–like most new things–will take a bit of getting used to. So far, in addition to different functionality, I note that the overall appearance is…a bit bland. 😒 ---

_ **Thanks @Mustangman!** _ This is awesome! It seems to work with my low-tech / no-tech (currently 48.0 kbps) computer connection. I had my doubts, but if it works with my set-up, it’ll work with anything. **@Carolyn, @Victoria, @Doug, and crew… Good work!** **Thanks!** _ **CSA** _ ---

Should I be seeing them?** That’s sometimes the stuff that is the kiss of death for my slow connection speed. I don’t know anything about PCs, but I think it drags me down to _too slow_. I hope they work as well as the rest of the site seems to be. _ **CSA** _ ---

Ads? I see paragraph after paragraph of “see also”. Also what happened to the page numbers? Glad you made it anyway but it’ll take a while to get comfortable with this. ---

@bing, there are no more page numbers. After years of squinting, we’ve moved to the “infinite scroll.” 🙂 [Previous page](https://community.cartalk.com/t/upcoming-migration-of-the-car-talk-community/93840.md?page=1) [Next page](https://community.cartalk.com/t/upcoming-migration-of-the-car-talk-community/93840.md?page=3)
