This new forum version seems to be a step back

Hi Blake etc.
Wow, I am mightily confused by the new site set-up (Dec. 17th '10)! Had trouble logging-in. No idea where my recent PM s have gone and we seem to have a lot of junk messages here too. Why did you change?
These things are never easy, I do appreciate that having managed email lists and newsletters etc., so I don't want to be negative. Hope these are just 'bugs' and that it all works out.

Added later: Sorry Blake this comment was before I understood what was going on...

So far I have had less than an hour to work on this. I need to work the bugs out and learn it too. Bear with me. The other option was starting over and losing all the past 10 years of posts.
