People are way more likely to complain when they don't like something, then they are to express thanks when they do like something.

Someone stated that 75% of the members don't like the new version, I would disagree wholeheartedly.

While there are some bugs and missing features, I'm confident that they'll be resolved soon. As for the look and feel of the site...people resist change, but they'll get used to it.

they appreciate your hard work, diz.

some people resisted your switch from dutch to english 10 years ago. you did the right thing then and this is a right move now.

sometimes we all need to grow thicker skin.

Ok, I am getting used to the new look and it is growing on me rather quickly. I appreciate the massive work you have put in. 1 request, could you PLEASE do something about the speed? It is so slow now.

Still slow?

Yeah, v slow. Also, I cannot automaticallly log in after I check the box.

Thanks for the compliment! Finally somebody who understands!

Woah, ask and you shall receive?! Seriously, now you're just showing off! haha, seems much faster already. Thanks

Trying to optimize our proxy servers... Seems to have some problems with load balancing between servers.

I love some of it... but I think it is kinda cluttered... maybe it takes time to get used to. looks much more sleeker though. Great look,

Speed is still an issue for me, although not all the time. For instance, this page took 5.8958 seconds to load...which isn't bad, but the old site it probably would have been under 1 second.

The home page takes well over 15 seconds every time. And various other pages are in the 10 second range.

Thanks all...seeing some tweak-progress here and things are coming together nicely, especially my and everyone's favorites back (enter great rejoicing)
Still slow on my end and have yet to get a pic thumbnail display that wasn't scrambled. Voyeurweb is filling this void at the moment...
I can deal with slow as long as I can get a pic to load of the ladies; I come here for the ladies and at my age everything works a little slower nowadays so I'm used to that.
Both my wife and son work/have worked in the computer-issue arena and I can just imagine what a herculean endeavor it is to operate, maintain and repair a web site like this.
Unscramble the pics and I'll be a happy camper. Cheers.

Will the feature of automatically logging in on every visit be restored/fixed. It seems to sometimes work like before, and sometimes not ...

What's the status of restoration of the smilies in "quick comments?" I see they are available in forum quick reply...but nothing in picture comments...

How come when I try to edit a posted comment the comment is gone...Is the edit feature no longer for just s correction, but now only for a complete erasure and rewrite?

It's a bug that should be resolved in the next patch

It seems like the issues that I have are on the list of things to be fixed. Thanks for all of the hard work. I'm sure it will turn out well in the end.

I wasn't sure that I was going to like the 100 last votes feature, but I really do. It helps to see that one person went through and rated a lot of my uploads 1. It makes me feel better about their scores knowing it was just one guy bringing them down.

Hopefully never.

Great re-work Diz, everything takes time and none of the quality content has been compromised. Please don,t knock yourself out and lose to much sleep your new wife deserves more of your time than we do. I have a very slow connection on broadband almost equivalent to dial up so instant gratification is not high on my list. The only problem I have had is how do I have a text only front page without pictures? The grand-kids are at an age where my study in not yet out of bounds and I want to keep prying eyes away until they are of age.

Love the new look, though it did take a little bit of getting used to. I'm sorry to add to the ever-growing list of bugs, but one I've noticed is that some of the pictures I've favourited since the new site's come on line have duplicated themselves in my favs tab. Nothing major, but thought you'd like to know
