(Copied over from my earlier post)
I actually REALLY like the new forums.
I do agree there is too much confusion. I would suggest that this is not because of too many forums, but too many changes too fast. Yesterday again, we've had forums moved/changed. While I totally agree with what has been done, even my head is spinning with the changes. Once it settles, I think we will hit our stride and enjoy the distinctions.
The only instance I might disagree with slightly is The Buzz / General Travel Talk. While I am clear that Buzz is for frequent flyer programs, and General is for all other travel postings, as a reader of the board, I'm not sure the distinction is necessary.
The others however make my use of the board faster and I have more of an ability to read what I want when I want.
So, we've been Flyertalk 3.0 for the last 10 changes and UBB upgrades. Aren't we up to at least 3.1? Or Flyertalk Gold? Or Flyertalk 2000?
And I have no problem with the load speed. Compared to other sites, it's fine.
