I won't be voting, because nobody cares anyway. We are in their world, and they rule here, like a despots.

The funny thing is that none of this affected me at all. What affected me was the weak responses to legitimate questions about the changes. When I say weak, I am being very polite. Arguments made, numbers presented supporting said argument, yet 50 folks prevail.

Since it is clear I have no input here, I am rolling with it, in a disgruntled manner.

Yep. And that's buck-nekkid on the bathroom scale. I'm kind of a big dude.

This is what i,m talking about. Vote in the poll if you want, if don't like the poll, then DON'T, its just a poll. Its pretty simple, you like it- somewhat like it-likes and dislikes and flat out blows, your choice, not complicated i don't think. What i like to see is your responses to this and tell it like it is like your all doing, i just posted the poll with the thread, no gain or loss here but maybe the higher ups can stop by and check things out. Me personally, i don't like change, getting older and can't tolerate certain things, maybe but when you still have't to ask your wife like me how to spell a certain word or how do you add pics, minimize, ect , then i start hearing it from the misses, and nobody deserves that, ha End of rant

Like if you say brakes, exhaust, tires, insurance or something like that?

Next time you log in, and before you submit, check the little box that says remember me and it will until you clear you cookies.

For those having problems with editing posts/smileys try clearing your internet browser cache,,,

Internet Explorer
To reload a page and bypass the cache:
either: Hold the Ctrl key, and press F5.
or: Hold the Ctrl key, and click the Refresh button on the Start bar.

To completely clear the cache:
Internet Explorer 7
Click “tools”, "Delete Browsing History", and then "delete all". Make sure to click on the checkbox also delete settings stored by add-ons. Then click OK.
Old versions
Click on 'Tools' and then 'Internet Options' and choose the 'General' tab. Then click on "Delete..." under "Browsing history". In the 'Temporary Internet files' section, click 'Delete Files...'. You will then get a dialogue box asking if you want to delete just the temporary files, or all offline content. Choose the latter and click 'OK'.
To change cache settings (only do this if you are reasonably confident of what you are doing):
Selecting 'Tools' → 'Internet Options' → 'Temporary Internet files' → 'Settings...' allows you to make advanced configuration changes to the cache.
There is an option labeled "Check for a new version of stored pages:" This does not bypass the cache, it merely determines how often the browser asks if there is a newer version available.

Mozilla family
This includes Firefox, Netscape Navigator (versions 6.x and 7.x) and SeaMonkey.

To reload a page and bypass the cache:
either: Press both Shift and Ctrl and then press R. (Alternatively, hold down the Ctrl key, and press F5.) On a Mac, use the Command key instead of Ctrl.
or: Hold down the Shift key, and click the Reload button on the navigation toolbar.
To completely clear the cache (see note above):
From the 'Edit' or 'Tools' menu, choose 'Preferences' or 'Options'. Expand the 'Advanced' options and choose 'Cache' or 'Privacy'. Click the button called 'Clear Cache'.
In newer versions of Mozilla Firefox, you can easily clear the cache, history and cookies: Hold down the Ctrl and Shift keys, and press Delete (or Del), then choose what you want to remove. Or from the 'Tools' menu, select 'Clear Private Data'.
For older versions of Mozilla Firefox, go to 'Tools' → 'Options' and click on 'Privacy' (picture of a key) in the sidebar of the window that pops up. Click the 'Clear' button that is next to the word 'Cache'.
To disable caching (only do this if you are reasonably confident in what you are doing):

For Firefox
Choose Tools | Options...
Choose Advanced at the top
Choose the Network tab
Change the cache size to 0 (zero).
For SeaMonkey
Choose Edit | Preferences...
Expand the Advanced item near the left bottom
Choose Cache item
Change the Size value to 0 (zero).
FireFox has memory caching, which might also need to be considered when troubleshooting cache-related issues.

In the address bar, enter 'about:config'
Filter the configurations options by entering 'cache' in the filter at the top
Change browser.cache.memory.enable to FALSE

IE6 seems to have more problems with the new software than does IE7. I don't use Foxfire or any other browser. Currently using IE7

Hope this info is useful.

A word of caution, this clears all of your cache, including the **** sites

Lordy..... Once again, another mod popping in here "helping". Sorry for the short attitude, but our "actual" mods know that those of us having problems tried all that....

But thanks for the tip.

Joe...he's just tryin to help.

I thought I'd pop in and let you guys know...for those of you using Firefox: I updated to Firefox 3 and it solved all of the problems I was having with the new FTE software. Until I upgraded, I was unable to use smileys, and various text formatting features were unavailable, including spaces between paragraphs.
