Welcome back Old-Biscuit!!!
I too find RV.net forums' software somewhat "out-dated/clunky" in ease of use and performance. However, the forum discussions and information are of course priceless and the overall lack of pictures and videos on the site make it super fast to use ... even with the slow Internet connection speeds when camping out in the middle of nowhere or when using the usual campground "free Internet".
FWIW, I usually consider many abrasive comments by Old-Biscuit, or others, (or myself), as merely Telling-It-Like-It-Is ... and T.I.L.I.S is not a popular way to communicate in these modern times.
