I have been gone a little over a year now. I see a lot of major changes have been made. All the specialty boards like Sams is gone. the board where everyone from your state posted... and a few others gone. The format for posting pics and jpegs.. The look is......dry, way to plain. When Igor had it it was pretty colorful. Didnt care for the drama at the time but it had a lot color.

Appears they upgraded to new software to keep up with the times and allow smooth interaction with other sites who have upgraded, new billing requirements by credit card companies, etc. There's been a LOT of new code written over the last few years that older website operating systems can't handle. Agree the new format restricts the amount of bling but it's safer, more stable and much quicker. I had to do the same thing last year and it had the same effect.

I've been around for a while on this board, I used be Albundy before they shut the board down for a period of time. When the board came back up I couldn't remember my password for Albundy so came up with a new one.
