I agree. It looks great and I'm having fun exploring. Like CrewChief, work requires my attention, but I'm sure I can steal a few minutes. I've already tried the SEARCH feature and it's amazingly fast! That will be a huge benefit to folks. I'm really looking forward to discovering more about the features and how it all works.

On a more technical note, here's some specific feedback. With IE 6.0.2800.1106 I could view it pretty well, but not able to log in and when tried the display got a bit skewed with items overlapping.

But in Mozilla 2.0.0.1, it's working great. Looks a little different (better) than IE and no problems with login.

FYI for all. There are lots and lots of new features currently enabled on the boards. Most/all came standard with the new software.

I suspect over the next couple of weeks we may disable some and tweak others.

One of my big fears is that message boards with tons of bells and whistles can be great for those who get really into the boards but can be intimidating/scary/a-turn-off/confusing for newbies.

So I'd love your help and feedback on the whole new set up.

What features do you love? Which are cool but maybe could be sacrificed in the name of simlplicity? Are things confusing? Where? Usability -- good? Bad? Could use tweaking (where?).

All help appreciated. With the goal being a set of boards as helpful as possible to as many parent group leaders as possible (especially newbies).

Thanks in advance.

Oooooo, I just noticed that if you're adding to a thread that the previous posts are listed newest to oldest on the bottom. Excellent feature!

And, wow, you added a "Top" button at the bottom of the page - probably the feature I use most on websites.

You're the greatest!

Tim - Brilliant work!!!! You and your team are amazing. I love the new look and, frankly, I'm having a little too much fun checking out all of the new features. It's Monday morning and I have tons of work to do.....

I'll be very sad if anyone puts me on their ignore list.

Thanks for making Monday morning so much fun!!!

even with a new title Tim I second what Crewchief said this place is such a huge help to even us old timers...couldn't imagine my life without it!

Ooooo, new titles, huh?!?! I want:

Sounds like she knows what she's talking about but usually doesn't.

Or is that too long? OK, then I'll settle for:

Not as smart as she sounds.

Seriously, Tim, it's clear that you and your team are working very hard to make this site the best and I appreciate that. It's a wonderful resource for the work we do and an invaluable social outlet. Thanks so much!
