From: Jim Thomlinson on 6 May 2010 14:45 Ok I have tried it. For all of the negative feedback I don't mind it. Could it be better... Absolutely. But compared to some other on line forums and the like it is darn good. And heck I even get to have a really cool avatar. As for points they are par for the course on so many of these sites. I am with Bob that they are kind of useless. Perhaps I am just bitter since I just got my gold star in the general questions forum and now they are wiping that out. Now how is everyone supposed to be impressed. Things I like... You can edit the post you made. I can not count the number of times that I had to back track a posting for a typo or just palin silly mistake. Now I can look smarter by fixing the mistakes... First pet peave is the use of screen space. There is a lot of wasted space. I would prefer to seem more content and less junk / blank space. -- HTH...
