| I hear ya, Clarino. But TM has addressed the reason for the change. Specifically..the original TM site was based on a freebie. Since a freebie site can be deleted, dropped, or whatever at any time at the whim of the provider, he felt that he needed more 'security' in the form of an "owned" site. Obviously the sooner the change is made, the less disruption to the membership list.
Members and moderators appear to be making a serious effort to transfer the threads over to the new site "as we speak". There will be a bit of an upset since some are transfering threads "one by one" and others are simply "copy/pasting" an entire thread as a single message. Still, the info is there.
The new site seems to be offering some advantages that the old site did not have, including the ability to open a chat window "as a new window" and still maintaining a "view" into the forums (or anywhere else you want to go browsing while chatting). Personally I'm having an issue with the width of the display changing on me when I post a message, but TM is working on that (yes, I've checked my screen resolution already).
As they say "Rome wasn't built in a day". I'm sure the inconvenience will be more than made up for by the enhancements possible at this new location.
