Facelift. No longer will we have to have a large red square flash on our computer screens as we move through the site. Yippeee!!! Kudos to the web people. ---

Nope, that’s not a dream, Blackbird. Facelift, lipo, the works. Let us know if you’ve got problems. I think the kinks were worked out this morning. (And you’re welcome, Mr. Mountainbike.) ---

I’ll have to reserve my judgements until after I can see it as it maybe should be. Looks like crap on this machine. I tried to attach a screenshot, so you could see just how bad it ooks, but I can’t even do that. /sigh ---

Wait, what happened when you tried to upload the screenshot? (Step by step, text of error messages, etc most welcome - I’m going to get asked for all that.) ---

I just hit the “Attach a file” link, and nothing. There were no messages, no errors, absolutely nothing. I’ll e-mail the shot home to post from there, but I won’t be home until late tonight. With luck, I won’t be so exhausted I forget. 🙂 I could e-mail it, I suppose…if I had an address to send it to. ---

Comment: LOVE the “popular tags” listing. That is a real, palpable, asset. ---

Yes, it is an improvement in appearance. For a few hours this morning, when I was getting repeated messages of “You are not authorized…”, I assumed that something of this nature was going on. Luckily, the site has been restored to service and it looks good. ---

Still having a problem with posting a comment on occasion. The length of the comment seems to have a bearing on the problem, but it seems to be more due to timing. I find that after the timeout on an unsuccessful attempt, I hit post again and it goes up immediately. It appears that it posts immediately or not at all. I think that length only increases the likelihood of missing the window. ---

I too have noticed that it “times out”. But now that I know it does that, it won’t be a problem. Overall I think the new site is a huge improvement, and it’s clear that the web folks have actually listened to our comments. If my ex had listened this well we’d probably still be married! ---

Now that I’m home, and can check it out a bit better, I do like the new look better. I never did like all the red, anyway, but wanted to participate, and the red was what I had to put up with. Personally, I still think there’s too much red, but the fade is a nice effect, and I can scroll so it’s not all red. ---

Never had a problem. Firefox, adblocker, McAfee, sorry for your pain, but how many times do I have to repeat this? ---

Nicer appearance but still has glitches with posting. As a matter of fact, this post is being done with the site showing that I’m not even logged in.
