It doesn't take long to get accustomed to the new layouy. I like it quite a bit and know the amount of time and can only imagine the $ that went into it.

Dan,

Thanks for your comments. We knew this upgrade was going to be a challenge for many of our visitors. We took this challenge very seriously and we have tried to make it as easy and user friendly as possible.

Take some time and navigate around - once you become familiar with some of the new tools and services - I think you will love it!

Keep us posted.

The whites too bright and the reds too loud....

I see it's mostly the mods approval but what else would one expect?

And to all them that say it'll take time to get used too....I say if ya had a poker shoved up your backside that too you'd get used to as well!

Adios amigos.........

If it wasn't broken - why did they try to fix it !!
Actually, it was broke. As a visitor to the site – you would have never seen things our Server Admin sees. The system and infrastructure we based the old EO on was long outdated and had many “holes”. I can create a page full of technical reasons why we decided to make this upgrade. All in all it was a project that took a year and half to develop.

It's kind of like our cars of the 1970's - why move to fuel injection when carburetors worked fine? The fuel injection system is much more efficient and more powerful then the carburetors. The old Roberts Express guys remember the days before Qualcomm when you had to stop every 4 hours to call dispatch on a pay phone to let them know of your location/status. It worked – but was inefficient and limited. So was our old software and infrastructure.
But we appreciate your feedback either way.

Just think of the advantages....You get to sit and look at the DAMM ads while the rest of the page loads.

I`m sure the advertisers are happy about that. Oh well you can`t please everyone.

Redy,

Please tell me how you are accessing EO. DSL? Cable? What browser. If you use Firefox - (the future of browsing the web).
This will speed up ALL YOUR WEB BROWSING!

Let me know on the other items.

That's all good and well about the cookies as long as they have no sugar added to them :p but what if someone travels with a few hundred avatars in their truck, how can someone use them?

I don't want those avatars to get jealous because they were not used, you know how they get all upset and you never hear the end of it there is nothing worst than screaming avatars while you're trying to sleep. :eek:

I just want to know how to get an avatar - my profile won't seem to allow it, even if I could import one from somewhere else, and I'm lost here. :rolleyes:

We are going to offer hundreds of new avatars - but you can easily add one in the USER CP, edit profile. Just Google avatars, I pulled this site up... Forum Avatars at Avatarist

Find one, download it (hold mouse over image, right click, save as, save on your desktop, login into USER CP, edit profile, upload avatar). :)

Hope this helps.
