    This format has got to be a joke. It does not reflect well on the quality that Polk is known for.



    Hay II! What's with that little icon thingy that shows up beside our screen name? I don't like mine one bit! However, it does kind of look like me.... Is it permanent, or does it change randomly when we sign in?

    It's absolutely horrible looking. The design is cluttered. I find it HARDER on the eyes. But I'm not surprised at all. Whoever is doing Polk's recent branding and identity is missing the mark imo.

    Need time to get used to the new look.

    Interesting if you do a Google search of Club Polk it will take you to the old site. I have cleared all my cookies and history also.

    I have noticed that when I revisit a thread it automatically takes me where I left off, or the last post when I visited previously. That's kind of nice.

    It reminds me of the first time I saw Windows 8. Being a Mac user it was shocking. So is this.

    Well... yeah... except for those of us of such advanced age that we don't remember where we left off...

    Whoa - it uses HTML tags now... I don't know if that's good or bad, but it's different...

    I want widescreen. Not happy having the bird girl on the left. The text area is too narrow. Hopefully they will give us some 'skin' choices.
    For rig details, see my profile. Nothing here anymore...
