<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Tahoma> I'll add my 2 cents to the
subject. In spite of the advantages to the new forum system, it seems
clear by now that it is definitely NOT user friendly. Too complicated for
any but the highly computer skilled, too cumbersome, too many steps to do
something simple, and just difficult to use. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Tahoma> Look at PianoWorld's
forums. Many subjects, easy to learn and use and used by many. I'm
sorry that this system isn't working as planned, but the home office and the
powers that be will only see continued less use by members, and
dissatisfaction at the choice that was made.</FONT></DIV>
