So,.......What Happened To Tuscl?

I just returned from my Hawaiian vacation and find a completely new tuscl. Old guys like me do not deal with change gracefully. My suspicions are that these changes were done to accommodate those ridiculous hand held browsers.
Old guys like me with fat fingers and Alzheimer's impaired brain functions do NOT use those devices. Give us a break!!

I know the feeling Art.
How was Hawaii? How many 'eruptions'?
On that front, a rather spicey review came through recently for The Million Dollar. So you may want to read it prior to cancelling.
You can afford an iPhone. TUSCL looks great on it
In one way I am glad Founder made the change because 50% of my time in TUSCL is on my smartphone.
But the old website was easier to navigate. Nevertheless Founder is probably ahead of the technology curve on this, so stick around and play with it.
As another old fart, I don't much care for change and don't own a smartphone. I do have a work one, but that is only used for work and a PITA at that!
Hang in there, I've adapted.
I was actually going to start a new thread today asking about your trip and wondering what your response would be to the "new" TUSCL.
"Hi All...
I guess some of you noticed a few changes. The changes were made for the betterment of the site going forward. Nearly 50% of our traffic now comes from smartphones (not cellphones, but phones with browsers), and that number is only going up. The site redesign is to merge the two technologies (PCs and Smartphones) into one site. Maintaining two sites (one mobile and one desktop) is just not in my time budget, nor do I think it necessary for the type of site that tuscl is.
It is for this reason that reviews are now scrollable one at a time (less data per page), and avatars are now resized to a smaller size and turned into png files (rather than animated gifs), along with most other changes. It is to create less data transfer per page. The new design will also allow me to do more things on the back end and I am working on more features, which are top secret right now ;) Also, the new site creates more pageviews, which creates more revenue. If you'd personally like to pay my rent, I will go back to the old way ;)
I'm sure many of you have feature requests. You can post them here, or send a PM, or use the contact link below.
Thanks, and have a great 2012

I actually fired up the work phone today while way away from Atlanta to check local clubs on TUSCL, and I found a giant ZERO. Guess I need to go to a better area. But, it did work well.
The meow meow ones don't count. :)
