Yes.  Funny you should make that observation.  The same thing happened on the Ford Fusion Forum when the changeover was made. Traffic was way down. Their version, however, is worse than this one.  For example, you have to log in twice each and every time.  At first,it would randomly log you off as well and then you had to go through the double log in again.  One long-time member quit because of the new format.  They're showing no eagerness to address the various complaints either.  I think they've learned some lessons and applied them to the version here, though.  I've been in touch with Robert Lane, the site runner, and they're trying to make this work smoothly.

Maybe it's my age, but I just can't fathom these changes for the sake of change these days.  Everything was working just fine before.  Why did we need this?  Same thing happened with my phone last week.  Software download=screw-up of things that I didn't even have to think about before.  I'm still sorting things out. I think that people feel the need to justify their jobs by fixing what isn't broken.

Sorry for the rant.  This is a pet peeve of mine.  OK. Off my soapbox now.

Not for nothing also, but things do normally slow down this time of year too.  A lot of people get vacation time around now.?
