Sandi,
I am sure this will take off, but I see two items that may be effecting the number of posts.
1. The old format was easier to read, sorry! Your interest stayed longer because the threads were cleaner... sometimes less is more... this message board is good, but the screen seems busy.
2. It is much more fun when you can post with a link to your web site and especially your own image or banner. Especially when it can be different on each message. Hate to say it, but some people post to build their business.
3. Many people may not want to take the time to log in. It's not a lot of time, but it takes time, a thing some of us may lack.
4. The codes you have to enter to post are sometimes hard to read.... you're not always sure if you are supposed to capitalize or not.
I know these are all LITTLE things, but maybe they add up?
The people are the same... the content is still good, I think it should take off again, but I did like the old software better.
GOOD LUCK!
Just my 2 cents.

Wonder what's causing this? Is it this grey doom and gloom appearance that's perhaps dulling our senses and putting us to sleep at the keyboard? Are we all depressed at losing what was friendly and familiar? Where has all the LIFE gone in this forum? Gosh, I sure miss it and hope it returns soon!
Don't misunderstand me, this basic forum style is okay but it is kind of a snooze job whereas the other one was lively and stimulating. Ah, bet that's it! The other one had shades of yellow...a known stimulant to the intellect and general brain function whereas blues and greys are calming and sleep-inducing. Could it be, perhaps? Hmmm...
