Looks like they're trying to switch to a system that allows quotes and an avatar, but the whole thing is a mess right now. I'd fill out a trouble ticket asking them what's up and when is it going to be fixed.....
I've just discovered that the Forum had truncated my initial response, posted last night.
I was griping that my accordion works fine but this high-tech computer stuff doesn't!
So far, Bravenet said that they're working on the loading speed issue.
I hope that doesn't mean that we're stuck with this "improved" format!
Thier feedback system doesn't give me an opportunity to respond :-(

Big, we at the L'Anse Grise forum are also using Bravenet. If you've read all of the gripes that Bravenet has received from it's members, they are all against this "new look," with the exception of one named Victor, who adores the new forum, but, Bravenet doesn't seem to be swayed by the many complaints. They've probably sunk so much money in this revision that they can't afford to go back to the old forum style. What a pity!
