WOW! I am surprised that soo many people like the new CC. I guess I am the odd one out because I was thinking that it has been slower lately and that the new look is less professional looking. Also, everything seems to be updating so much so, like when you respond to a topic, it takes a long time to show your name...is it just me?

Jackie and Heath have posted that they are still working out the bugs to get the site to run faster. So some people will still be experiencing slow times.

It is getting better, just takes some time.

The new changes aren't actually intended to make it look nicer at this point. They are changes made to make the site easier to use.

We will "pretty-it-up" later once all the functionality is working correctly.

I actually like the new look. Most websites change every year. Even yahoo has changed their homepage.

Okay, so I am the odd one out! icon_redface.gif I did not realize the site was not done yet...I guess i just need to be patient. I must say I really do like that fact that when you have a new private message, it blinks so you know!

So far I like the new look. Haven't been here in a few days, but it has a softer look to it and looks great! icon_biggrin.gif

I like a lot of the new functions - one thing that bugs me though is how sometimes I can't get back to the homepage. I'll click on the "cakecentral logo", or click on the "Home" button after posting to a forum, and nothing happens - or it will just reload the same page.

At one point I thought I saw a "my posts" section under forums - so you could look up your own posts - which is more helpful than trying to go to an old post of yours, click on "profile" and then click on "find all posts by this user" - which is how I've been doing it. However, I don't see this anymore.... is this something that we will have, or was I just dreaming?

I like the new look.

I wish that they would add the button to each cake letting us know how many people have looked at our cake instead of having to look through many pages to find your cake to see the totals.

I love every change thus far. I especially love that fact that we can upload larger files. I know we've been able to do that for a while now but it's nice that I don't have to go and change the size of my pics beforehand!!!

Thank you Heath and Jackie!!!!!!!!!!!

Old look, new look... I like them both. However, my only problem is the speed that pages load at. On the desktop they load quicker than on my laptop. Canb't say it is CC's problem though. DH is going to have to upgrade my wireless connection.
