I don't know what other people think about this new upgrade to the site, but I'm finding it a little awkward to use.

I suppose it will be better after I've fumbled through it a few hundred times.

    I've noticed the prifile pictures have been cropped.

    If you're not in the centre, then you disappear.

    It'll take some getting used to, but I think I like it. I like the new profile format.

    I think it's just fine, looks more neater and sophisticated.  Well done to the webmasters!  :)

    The premium image definitely has to go.

    In your newfeed is there a way of seeing when your friends have uploaded new photos, like before?

    [/quote] Yeah. The huge crotch shot seems at odds with the stated purpose of the site.
    Gotta wonder ......

    Well for one thing I feel that the Member Only block should have been placed on the search function. Anyone who visits the site can cruise the pictures of all the members and have a field day with collecting them for their own personal use. Also I wish the fonts were a little darker, us oldies might have trouble seeing them. Over all it's nice and clean and easy to follow much like other sites I have visited. Lets see as we all use the site and report bugs I'm sure things will only get better. Good Job TT1 & 2. Oh one other thing I wish there was a spell checker integrated within the messages replys.

    I miss the lead page with the most recent forum posts. Other than that I'll have to have an explore before I comment.

    Definitely better than Facebook's recent changes.

    I am still feeling my way around the site but have two concerns at present. First, I am unable to upload a new picture (well within size guidelines etc.)  Secondly, the pic I want to upload and use as my new profile pic would be cropped and thus would not show information I wish to share.

    Another thing I have noticed is that clicking on <Groups> brings up a search function which is nice but group listings (all 2,327 of them) are in chronological order rather than alphabetized.  This severely limits finding groups which may interest the user.

    not impressed besides lossing some of my pictures i hate that you can't look down and see what friends are online without alot of scrolling it also looks like photos are chopped. i never understand when things aren't broken why change, but than it's not my site so i shouldn't complain. i'll give it a few more days...

    IF you go to the friends links and click "last login" it shows which friends are currently online.

    It seems shiny and nice so far. I like that you can go straight to the last page of a Forum thread, which I don't remember being able to do before.
    And Chat is much the same, which is fine by me.

    [/quote]It's actually much, much better !
    Click "Forums" at the top bar, then the "Recent Posts" button.
    You get a whole page instead of just the last ten.

    [/quote]If you are not a premium member, this is the pic that comes up for you on all pics past the first five.  I don't know what it looks like since I am premium.

    I found that I can't post in forum if I am using IE9.  This started when I downloaded windows 7 service pack.  I found a work around on old site but it won't work now.  I am able to post using Safari and it does have a spell checker.  The down side is I have to switch browsers to go into chat because Safari for windows does not support flash player.

    It's a close-up female crotch-shot with a hand holding a fan JUST over the "naughty bits" and something  about 128000 pictures available to upgraded premium members.Really bad taste.

    Pictures embedded in forum posts have been reduced to thumbnails, and animations I have looked for don't show anymore. Good stuff.
