Just my humble opinion, but I've been using this forum for years, both posting and
asking questions, and I now find it extremely cumbersome. Sorry, I've bought probably 20
RS travel books, and many of his other items. I've recommended him for years to others,
but I really HATE how this website is now set up.
Well, I wouldn't say that I HATE this new forum website, but I do find it more cumbersome. For one thing, the subject line text for each topic used to change to a different color after you read that topic, so you could easily see which topics you had already read -- not so anymore. And I find using the drop-down list of countries is less convenient than just clicking on the country from the list on the webpage as it used to be. But anyway, it'll be better to judge it after using for a while.
There's a thread on the General Europe forum. I suggest you post your comments there. There are also some responses from the RS staff that explain some of the changes.
