My opposition to the change was 100% about the radical change in appearance of the forum.
Since there was a way around that, it looks like 'the good ole days' to me...

Any minor changes in navigation are not bothering me... as long as it "looks right". LOL

Of course, reportedly you do have to be a 'Star Member' to be able to take advantage of that.

To become a 'Star Member', you only need to make one annual donation, and there is no minimum amount.

Credit card, debit card, Paypal-- and I believe you can even send a check by US mail, if you have no other option...

Your information is misleading. Only Star members can use skinner mode Wonder Why Oct 2023 #3

I see nothing in EarlG's post to say that. TomSlick Oct 2023 #7

I became Star already. But read the benefits. Wonder Why Oct 2023 #12
