This place is like a closet now.

Works OK for me, at least I'm getting pretty used to it now. It does run slower for me than the other board which was already very slow, but what's new? Most people have a high speed connection now so there isn't much pressure to please the cheap-ass dialup $6.95/month holdouts like me

But I was already pretty used to vB type boards so it wasn't any big adjustment for me. I've said in the past that I like the threaded type better for the tight community type of discussions we have here, but what can a site owner do nowadays if there isn't any commercial software available to handle that kind of board? Audio Asylum is a highly modified older type of software that bears little resemblance, if any, to the original code and is maintained by the site owner. And it is a user supported site at that, unlike this one which depends on advertisements. But anyway, like I said, it works OK for me and as long as the people I like to talk to stay around, I'm fine with it. And if it speeds up I'll probably post more. And if they make a few adjustments to the display columns, I wouldn't mind that at all either. Like who needs a ratings column? I have to expand the window to the whole screen just to give the subject box enough room so that it doesn't take up 3 or 4 lines on my 1024x768 notebook screen! Make that column wider and the others narrower already! OK, that's my suggestion for the day although I understand they have to maintain the same look across all the sites and most changes are probably not feasible to make here unless it is agreed on by all the sites. But thanks for all the effort Chris and I hope things at this site work out for the better in the long run for everyone, owners, managers, advertisers and users alike

EDIT: Guess I wasn't paying attention this morning because the ratings column IS gone now. Thanks Chris. MUCH better!

EDIT AGAIN: Wow, it even seems to be running much faster now! Thanks again, Chris. Hey, what's the story on the number of views? It seems to only be updated on an occasional basis. Is that a timed thing? They don't seem to change very often, and then all of a sudden there is a big jump.
