got it now all I have to do is hover my mouse over the envelope in the top right section of the screen and then it pops up with a small window where "start a new conversation" in the lower right of that small window.Try it now Greg . . .
I believe this is called beta testing and everything will be OK in a couple of days. The admin and moderators are doing the best job they can.
Also love the look of new site but just need to adopt to new stuff. Hope this old horse can learn a few more tricks. :):)
one question, why i dont have any trophies?



so far my speeds are good both on the computer and on my phone. aside from the message bug I was experiencing I am all smooth sailing now.Is the site slow? More specifically, when you type does your fingers get ahead of what you're typing? You peckers will not notice but us who type fairly fast - the site has slowed to the point where my fingers are faster than the letters showing up in the text field. And I'm not THAT fast. We are already using 90% of our disk space, so I'm going to have to have our hosting company move us to a faster server. They say it will be 10X faster, and will only have to shut us down for 10 to 15 minutes for the move. I'm not going to do it for a couple of days though so we can all get our feet under us a little better. I'm probably stay up and do it at around 2 in the morning so it won't affect 99% of you. They have 24 hour support and said I could do it anytime I want.
Anyone else having speed issues?

No problem with speed here. Everything works fine in Europe.
Is it possible to add more smilies. Miss the one with a chain saw
I think the smilies are cool but if there are widgets available that can really separate us from the other forums out there I think the trade off will be well worth it! I can live with out the smilies in exchange for some other cool stuff ;)I am considering leaving the smilies as they are. there is going to be a smilie limit anyway and we have to start finding ways to cut down on bandwidth where we can without cutting out stuff we really need.

ya where's the donations button? abra cadabra.... or something like that???Clearly lots of time, effort, and expense going into this, Wizard... how can I make a contribution (needa to be a $ contribution, since any others I'd make would probably move the forum backwards)?
