I greatly respect Millers opinion and although I dont agree with all the points of the original poster---this forum layout is completely unintuative.

I dont even post here anymore because the layout is so confusing. Now granted , my purpose was to commune with other Line6 users--and that doesnt seem to be aligned with Line6's goal. But aside from purely technical solutions to hardware and software there has always been a great need from users to get good sounds and Now, that is all but gone because so many experienced users have jumped ship because of this format. When users cant get help with the frustration of getting good modeling tones--they look elsewhere.

Also, many of the extremely useful longtime technical users(I was not one) were stripped of their points as if what they did for the company was trash. Thats was not only rude, but it was also a bad business move because you never, ever, alienate your core users.

I stopped helping people a long time ago, all I do is hang out in the lounge.

I totally agree with you and the author of this thread! As much as I enjoy using my Pod Xt Live and am a totally satisfied Line 6 customer; I cannot support the fact that truth and controversy are not on the menu on this forum as well; especially over issues that concern and affect our artistic well being in one way or another. I have a lot more to say regarding the insideous goings on within this forum and the previous forums but my post was of course denied and discarded. The minute **** hits the fan; whoops, it's forum renewal time...What ever happenned to free speech anyway?...

There were other internal reasons for the upgrade. It wasn't like we woke up one day and said "hey, let's change everythign for the heck of it, wouldn't that be awesome?"

I appreciate the feedback though.

Haha. I know. At first I was a little angry at the OP becasue I'm so vested in this forum and I really want to make it as easy to use as possible. But I understand that the platform is inherently complex at first and does take some getting used to. The reason why I made the tutorial was to show some of the cool and powerful tools that you can do with this. Not all people may find them useful but I think most will.

i like the new forum--i really like the Recent Content on my Your View page (configurable, neat!) that brings all new content regardless of category to immediate attention--a quick scan of that and i can see what's up.  love the fact that all of the threads i have posted to are in my profile.  i don't see the barriers.  i guess i'm not a fan of the Groups and i don't really care about the Friends feature (probably a generational thing--i don't txt, twitter or facebook either but i'm not going to knock people who make the most of those things.)  i haven't mastered a lot of the content stuff but this forum seems to make it much easier to share photos and other files.

First I didn't like the new forum, too. But this was due to my laziness.

After a bit trying this and that, I'm almost completely satisfied.

I can find and do everything I want very quickly.
