i don't know, I liked the old way better too!

I'm confused as well. Maybe they had some problem/malfunction with the old front page and are using the forum index until they can fix it.

I don't like it either...plus, you have to use the horizontal scroll bar to see the whole screen.

I sent them an email asking about it, so if I hear back, I'll post an update.

I don't like it either....SO I am not really using Lap Band talk like I did in the past. I was on everyday and now I use it maybe once a month because it takes to long to find everthing I am looking for.

Please change it back or make it more user friendly.

The change came for me just this morning...I like it better the way it was yesterday.

I know that I had problems getting onto this website yesterday afternoon it was really slow. So maybe bobdole is right.

Oh good! My home page is back to normal again on my computer too! Yay, they listened to us, and thanks for emailing them Auntlucy...I was planning to, but never got to it.:thumbup:

I guess we all get set in our ways. The thing I don't like about the new home page is the size of the top part...all the ads are so big. I think the thread titles are a bit over the top. Do they think we're blind as well as overweight? It takes 15 taps on the down arrow to begin reading! Drives me crazy!!

While I know the ads can be a little big at times, keep in mind that those ads are how the site is paid for and why we don't have a fee to use it. When I start to have those thoughts about the ad, I ask myself, "would you rather pay $19.99 a month?"
