with Bob that they are kind of useless. Perhaps I am just bitter since I just
got my gold star in the general questions forum and now they are wiping that
out. Now how is everyone supposed to be impressed.

Things I like... You can edit the post you made. I can not count the number
of times that I had to back track a posting for a typo or just palin silly
mistake. Now I can look smarter by fixing the mistakes...

First pet peave is the use of screen space. There is a lot of wasted space.
I would prefer to seem more content and less junk / blank space.

Jim,

Are you referring to the NNTP Bridge? Or the Web UI?

Thanks.

Well, I tried the Web UI again and, compared to my Forte Agent newsreader, I
find it cumbersome and more time consuming. I have to do a lot more scrolling
in order to follow a thread -- it seems that it will be a less efficient (more
time-consuming) method of interacting on these forums.
