I think this new forum is better, alot of new functionalities that the user can customize to his/her needs. The best feature i think is that you can disable avatar and signature viewing, great for 56K modem users. :) Must admit that it takes a little of getting used to but I think everyone will soon get the hang of it. Plus i think the security now should be much better and less chances of being hacked eh? And i guess it makes maintainance much easier for Tom. Give him a break guys :D
