That's curious Josh. I'm not having any load time problems from either the home or office computer.

The look and products are better. I think I like the concept of the original opening page better as the map and radar opening page takes a long time both on my home and office computer to load and generally I am looking to go directly to the message board so it might be better to have the map and radar be a choice rather than an opener. Thanks

Hmmm........Something i didnt think about 53 and Josh. Probably because when this was in test mode i didnt have any problems with it loading and i am one of those on Dial-Up.

53 you could set the Board itself to your homepage (Favs) or whatever and avoid going thru the other way.

Oh and for those that dont care for all the signatures or avatars in a short bit you should be able to set the board to your liking which would be SubRebel (Found in your profile)which is the plain bare board with none of the stuff mentioned above!

K, going to turn the force off now so everyone will automaticly og back to the board style that they had selected before.. If you want to go back to the new one.. Go to your profile and select "dark blue" under the board style section.. I reccomend to everyone to use the Dark blue template ;-)

The gray cursor is indeed hard to see on the "dark blue" template, however in my opinion the new look and overall feel of the site is better, which seems to be the opinion of most members.

I am not sure which template to use, the "FI Plain" I am using now or the new "dark blue" one. The recommendation to use the new one seems to mean something. :) The background and text colors is an issue in my stat threads.

Back to the "FI" style, whatever that stands for - thanks much, as I really couldn't take that white on blue/grey - love the black on white.

We have now added the Menu Bar from the dark blue template into the fiplain template, so you are now able to access every page from the fiplain template as well..

But I do still reccomend the dark blue ;-)
