I've been off the list for sometime but re-joined a couple months ago. It was surprising to see the list format exactly as I had left it. Several photo forums I frequent all use software similar to Pianoworld's and would encourage someone here who has the knowledge to administrate such a move. The current format is cumbersome and difficult to follow at times. Dependent on which mail program one uses, the look & feel maybe better or worse but still remains challenged. Our current format is at least 15 years old. I would vote it is time to upgrade.
