Sorry, can't hold my tongue anymore. The forum used to be absolutely awesome, fun and informative and a great way to get quick answers and have a conversation going. Now it is a confused black hole. Visually the site looks great and I'm sure changing the system over to something new wasn't easy with all the info so please don't misread my frustration as disrespect, but man it wasn't broke don't fix it! Here were a few great things that I really really miss:
-->Posts went up instantly.
Now they go in a que for approval? Did anyone get raunchy or particularly impolite? I think this is a great group that does not use abusive lanugage or require a level of review
-->Replies were clustered with the original topic & the topic had a number that indicated how many total comments to the post.
The number was a great way that I could jump to the page and see if something new was posted to a question I had. ie "Oooh - there are 3 notes now, yesterday there were 2"
By clustering the replies you could look at a page and see something like this:
5 speed transmission conversion
E Type Series 2 emissions/secondary throttle plate
metalic tap emanating from the head?
Aluminum cleaning / detailing question
Tire pressure
67 e type brake lights not working
But now you see
Temp Gauge for Water

By breaking up the replies into individual headers you don't get a sense of flow of the conversation anymore.
(I don't think the multiple replies are in any order anyway??)
Most importantly - they fill up unnecessary space, the old way you could see multiple topics on one page now you see fewer topics posted over and over again.
And how do I know which reply I've read and which one I've not read in this system when they are all jumbled up.
I am bound to think of something else but hopefully this is an understandable description so the programmers can PUT IT BACK THE WAY IT WAS. PRETTY PLEASE WITH 4.2L on top?
