I've already aired my issues with the new format and I was basically told by tarall, "Yeah, we thought about some of that stuff and we may do it in the future but for now we're stickin' with this and you're just going to have to deal with it." (I'm paraphrasing, of course.) At least I can post using Safari, now.

  Hey nedl,

  It would be nice to be able to click on a user name & be able to see what was posted!  It would sure save a heck of a lot of time!  It IS  bitch TRYING to find one previous post or another!  I hated the multiple users & the hateful way people treated each other before.   It was deceitful & unfair to those of us that visited occassionally. 

  Many of those things have changed. This isn't a "neighborhood board".  Robert, Susan, etc.!...  You have our e-mail addresses...every last one of us.  How about sending out a survey to each of US ABOUT WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE HAPPEN on this board? 

  Hey all; IF THEY DO THIS... could you NOT MAKE THEM sorry?  Could you NOT make jokes, send disgusting ideas & just be honest about what you would like your neighborhood board be about?  Can we work together on this? 

   C'mon guys... Lil, Lionjack, Kenn, frazzled, nedl, ryankopf,  (please forgive me to all the rest of the names I've gotten to know & didn't mention here)!... Step up to the plate & share! 

  The question posed to you is this...  "Is this site what you would expect from a web-site that is named, "Neighborhood LInk"?  

  ----  IF SO... What are the positive things you appreciate that this board gives?

------  IF NOT...  What would you like to be brought to this board to make it worth visiting for you & for the rest of us? 

  THAT'S NOT SO HARD, IS IT?    They listened when I asked for happy faces!  They will listen to you all too!    

  Honestly, I like this new format.  I like that the post that has the most recent reply is moved to the top.   I also like the avatars, the smiley faces and the fact that we can post pictures, if we can figure out how to do it.  I have found, however, that it is more difficult to look for a particular post, and I wish we could go a little further back to find old posts(about a week or so ago I was trying to find a particular post from last July or August and wasn't able to go back far enough)

Glad to see you, Tlou!!

Also, I really like your idea of e-mailing everyone a survey.
