So far Eric, I'm NOT impressed with the new forum format. I really dislike being forced to rate other comments in order to post my own comments. If I have no opinion on the comment or interest in the topic, why should I have to rate it? Also, commenting isn't a full time job for me and I may not care to read through 3-4 other comments, then rate them in order to comment myself or reply to a comment. Is there a way around the rating baloney? If not, I will be commenting much, much less.
