    Careful or you'll be labeled a malcontent for voicing your opinion. B)

    But.... things are getting better around here by leaps and bounds. We just went from a red font to a blue font. Things were awful back in the day of the red font.

    Seriously, stay. We really need the audiophile talent to stay with this place to make it a great place to hang out. Just turn off signatures and it's not so bad.

    Hey Ricardo,

    The groups are gone, the showcase is gone, a lot of the pictures are gone, the user location is gone, the widescreen option is gone, the vintage speaker info is gone, the user friendly format is gone and a lot of the members are gone or nearly gone because of this disaster.

    Its hard to tell, and I'm reading between the lines, but I think F1nut may not be quite as happy as he could be about the changes.

    I can't post similes any longer, at least with the convenient button available above the edit box. Manually entering them doesn't work either. They are censoring language. Can't say 'crap' unless you edit the post and then it let's it through. Maybe I'll get banned for using the word.

    On a possible plus side I now know what F1nut looks like in his PJ's.

    Is the ignore list gone too?

    The censored language shows when you start a quote though. smirk.gif

    Weird, now it's censored. For a little bit it wasn't. I normally try not to use bad language in writing but occasionally use mild stuff like c r a p. That's what I used above.

    The thing I miss the most is the "New Posts" button, the recent discussions is sort of the same thing, but doesn't seem to actually show which posts are new or not. Aside from that having a skinny window like this on my full hd monitor is ridiculous. The UI is not responsive in the least, where did these people learn web development? If your going to make a site for desktop, tablet, and phone, it better damn well be semi responsive....

    Am I missing something, or are there fewer "serious" discussions of modification projects and the like?

    If I'm observing a symptom, is it a symptom that the serious contributors who have made this Forum a great "knowledge base" have stopped participating?

    Since I'm really still a newbie who, THANKFULLY found such wonderful vintage Polk Audio information on the old page back in 2012 when I got my first pair of Polk Audio speakers which happened to be a set of SDA SRS. I really am sad that the awesome information does not flow as it used to. I truly hope this place somehow can continue on and "trust me I am being completely selfish here" but I still need/enjoy the wonderful wealth of information you folks have. I just hope we can all find equal ground to keep GREAT audio alive. IMHO of course..

    Or you can go visit the PolkArmy forum.

    Been there; done that.

    The new PolkArmy forum has a long -- and I mean LONG -- way to go before it even remotely approximates this Forum's "heritage" of information, conversation and excellence of knowledge -- not to mention the camaraderie that this platform engendered and nurtured for so long.

    I would hope that we can get past cosmetic limitations of the new format and return to the incomparable substance that is what really made the "old" Polk Forum so remarkable and so valuable to so many.

    Just my humble opinion (and fond hope).

    Cosmetic limitations should still be corrected, however. Especially since they can be.
