Hey Everyone,

Now that the forums have been upgraded, a lot of fixes and usability features have been fixed or added.

I'd love to hear your opinions on how the forums are working for you. 

What's difficult to do? 
What's really easy and working well for you?  
What doesn't work at all for you?  
Anything you really like?  
Anything you really hate?  
What are the MUST HAVE features that will get you posting more?
What is making you post less? 

I'd really like to get Vinocellar hopping again....  Any suggestions?

Thank you everyone for your input....  lay it on me!

1. Had to log back in this morning. I seem to get "remembered" about 75% of the time.

3. Is there a way to set up a default font style? I seem to be set on x-small and have to manually change to small each time. My eyes aren't what they used to be, so x-small doesn't cut it for me.  That said, I think as a whole I don't like the font size options. The small is probably too big for most people. (If you all hate it, let me know and I won't use it any more). And the x-small seems too small. I'd like to see a "Goldilocks" font that is "just right".

4. Not that there is anything that can be fixed about it, but the content on each page is so complex that reading posts and composing replies on my Treo appears to be a thing of the past. Download time per page is prohibitive, and most of the time I get a "Page too large to display" error message. A shame because I love to catch up with VC while riding the rails, waiting in airports or sitting in boring meetings.

Lest you think I have nothing but complaints, I really like what you have done. Especially the new way that search results come out.

can you set me up to the jump to the last thread deal. I can't find the option.

Before you could click on a thread if you wanted to read all the pages scrolling. now you can only do 1 page of a thread at a time. Am I missing something?

Most things are working well for me now.  Haven't had to login for awhile. 

I still am having trouble figuring out how to search again, but I'm sure I can/will learn.

I'm with Dave.  From a user stand point traffic is way down and there is very little of interest being posted to keep me interested and posting consistently on the site as a result.

I think with the last update and recent comments from people, Vinocellar has turned that corner in "usability"...   and more improvements are to come  (going to soften the colors too!)...   So perhaps its time to starting trying to drive some more traffic this way.

I'm here now I'll post a unique movie/tv thread. Stay tuned...

James, your drivers for site traffic are right on point.  We have all of them in spades though.

- mailer season - check.  Spring mailers have come and gone just like clockwork.  Bloody as ever.  No change there.

- vintage buying opportunity - can you say 2005 vintage?  2005 Burgundy?  2005 Bordeaux?  2005 Loire?  2005 Germany?  The list goes on.  There are multiple threads on each of these topics on eBob and elsewhere

- newbies - I'm a relative newbie to Burgundy

- controversial threads - natch

- wine events - Doc is in town as well speak. Imbibing away.  Everyone drive safely.
