It really is very clunky. The mechanics of posting, quoting and editing are far more cumbersome than they used to be. While the new forums have added some new features, they aren't as simple to use as they were, and I find I navigate around to the various forums and threads a lot less often than I used to. I'm not even getting into the moderation, monitoring, deletions and shutting down of threads, it's glaringly obvious and speaks for itself.. I will, however, note that the available emoticons continue to suck eggs despite frequent pleas to upgrade them. I do, occasionally... appreciate the moderators stepping in to answer a question or to provide needed direction. Overall, I preferred the simpler, less sanitized old boards, but, then again, I also preferred the less frenetic, less repetitive, more diverse old Q.
