much less.

Off season probably doesn't help, but I'd say about 90% less

I really wish there would be LESS banners and graphics on the top that slows down the reloading of pages... it is tiresome and frustrating...

I post roughly the same, but I find the paragraph turning into a line annoying as well. Other than that I could care less, just wish they'd fix it.

I hated the new forum format at first, still dislike it, and think the Add friend Add foe feature is too much like lowly "facebook" and "myspace" type putrid websites.

To me the changes are not a big deal. Pretty much have the same functionality. The only downside for me is that I preferred the old color scheme, but other than that, no biggie here.

I still read and post on this board. But other boards are a pain to navigate to for me because I always click the wrong links and stuff. So yes to posting the same amount here, no to the other boards

I post less no doubt.
I despise fans that cheer on a team from up north or one that resembles a dinosaur. oh wait...

I read about the same amount, but I post more. The login function used to be really touchy with me, i would sign in and it would just reload the login page, but it wouldnt say i had the wrong password or anything. It could take up to like 10-15 tries to login, so i usually didn't bother, and on top of that the auto login didn't work. Now sometimes i have to reload 2-3 times to get rid of the one line paragraph thing, but other than that ive had lesss problems with the new format.

I would say less, but it is more of that it is summer and not much is happening. Although when the change was first made, it was a nightmare, but as they have fixed things, I see no real difference, but I am also getting used to it now. I know it is difficult, but please know the higher ups are working out the bugs. I know you guys want it done faster or even undone, but please be patient. The Cs are champs, and we should still be out celebrating, not inside posting:)

Originally much less, but now I'm coming around especially as kinks seem to be worked out. I usually have a number of browser windows open on my computer, I have begun to keep one dedicated to this forum, and in that window I set my browser so that images don't load. It makes the forum load slightly quicker.

However, I used to browse this forum from my Pocket PC as well, and post from it. Now, whenver I load it on my Pocket PC - the pages load okay - but after they load my browser freezes up for after a minute and its rather tough to pull up threads and such, let alone post. Supposedly there is a RealGM Mobile, but it doesn't load for me using the browser of my choice, as my browser identifies my Pocket PC as a PC. I don't care to use Pocket IE or change my browser preferences just for this site.
