@Bella Dea,
I carry the same settings, Bella.
I agree that many of the first page topic titles are related to the changes in the forum (including this one) and that folks are figuring out ways to use the new site, but there are other discussions happening too.
Wanna help cyclo plan his wedding? He's looking for tips.
And dag is about to throw her computer out the window.
The word-game folks are playing word-games.
Joe-N would love another person in the room to keep him company.
The Brits are being Brittish.
I'm trying to plan an A2K lunch.
Folks are listening to all sorts of music.
They're talking about the Olympics or just yabbering.
It's pretty much reverted back to the days of yore with regards to topics (although the R&S and P&D topics seem to be slow and the politcos are discovering there's more to the world than politics).
Bring up an old thread and post -- craven has been doing that a lot. Or start something new. Folks will in all likelihood respond.
