    No problems. I think I'm already adjusting. You'll have to make this place a whole lot more painful to get rid of me.

    It was just a "first impression". On the positive side, I think it's much easier to find and go to "specific" forums and categories.

    Since as I am routinely reminded, I am NOT currently a Prius owner, I tended to use Prius Chat, with perhaps a rarer "General Information" approach.

    Seems to me you have some new "goodies" under new rocks...and old goodies under new rocks...but it's all still here in one form or another.

    what's making me crazy right now is the freezing... the site freezes for 5-10 seconds at a time and then releases... it's crazy making!!

    I also noticed that going "Back" now no longer automatically refreshes the page; I now have to hit the Refresh button to get the current page. That is one of the things I liked about the previous version that was different from other forums, which all require an explicit Refresh when you go back to the thread list after reading posts in some thread. I am using Firefox, BTW.

    I have seen this behavior a few times, I think it occurs when a load-in site (advert, meter etc) is holding up the show. I hit reload (cmd-R) on a Mac with very good results. I use Chrome

    The whole site feels a lot more cumbersome to me.
    Everything seems huge, seems to take up more screen real estate.
    Looking forward to improvements.
    Thanks for the hard work. I've been behind the scenes before and know what a challenge and thankless job it is.

    Is that "Mark *this* fourm read", or "Mark *All* forums read"? I suspect the latter and so hesitate to push it.

    The site is looking good! I was just over at the Prius Shop and when I pushed the link for "Toyota Prius Forums" it stays in the Prius Shop. Thanks for all the hard work.

    Is the email alert feature working? I have a lot of alerts when I log into the site, but now email alerts are not arriving to my Inbox.

    It's cool how my PriusChat bookmarked hyperlinks now tell me how many alerts I have waiting for me!

    I feel quilty for grumbling earlier. It must have been a lot of hard work and now the smaller bugs are being ironed out. Once we're all used to it we'll be happy again.

    I'm in the same boat, hopefully this feature will be working again very soon

    Emails are foobar'd right now for some reason. I'm switching our email server to Amazon, so hopefully that will ensure quick, unimpeded arrival of future emails.

    Is there a way to change the default order of posts in threads? I always preferred having it set to "newest first". That feels more logical to me.

    Definitely harder to read if you are over forty.

    first, thanks for all you do.

    the old forum look "softens" the backround so it's easier on the eyes
