Ok, I admit I am a bit of a luddite, and hate change as a matter of course. I guess change is inevitable, but I really did love the infopop board format for it's simplicity and LACK of features. It looks like now I have to worry about my fellow FT'rs rating me, (I feel like I'm back in High School) rating threads (Worst thread EVER!).
I guess as long as there is useful information, which there always is, I can deal with the new multitude of smiley face options I now have.
