Ben,

I am sorry if you're pissed off at me somehow. But the boards are definitely NOT a step backwards. They are totally amazing. I just can't understand why you seem totally pissed off by everything. I know learning the new board isn't easy for everyone and that includes me. I still don't know how half of it works yet. But I am pretty sure all the same posts that were on the old board are on this board. None of that has changed.

There's a much better search function on this board as well (check advanced). Right now it is set to only search back 1 year because most sites don't save all posts like we do. Our use of this board is very unusual and very heavy. It's become a creative archive. Most boards automatically prune posts that are a year old (or in some cases months old) and don't save them because of server space and bandwidth of old posts coming up in search engines. Also, searching a half million posts is very slow and hard on the servers with as much traffic as we get. (Heck, we haven't had less than 300 people on the boards at one time since we re-launched them).

So the posts are all here. As for looking for posts buried, yes, I see it's harder to get to "page 45" but most people don't remember what is on page 45 in the first place. They would usually use the search feature to find something that is that old. Plus, page 45 isn't stagnant. Tomorrow it will be page 46 then 47 etc. The board is what it is. I can't change the scroll feature. It's set that way simply because most people didn't want the links to all the page displayed. I can ask the makers of the board if there's a way to change it, but for most folks, it won't be an issue. They'll use the search feature anyway because they won't know what page something is on.

All of Dawgs posts are on Lyric 1 and 2.
