I love FR content; hate the interface. Nothing personal, but does anyone know if there are any plans to update it? There are some very user-friendly forum sites on the Internet that put FR's interface to total shame. Anyone else feel this way?

I'm sure there will be loyal followers and maybe even sentimental attachment, but by actual objective comparison I can't see anyone arguing the FR interface superior to any of the other large forum sites out there. It's rather painful, I think, and is more than skin deep. I navigate a lot of forums, and as I said, content aside, I really cringe when I come to FR after visting other forums.

It seems like a worthy concern for the flagship conservative forum. I have attempted to bring new people here and their first comment is, invariably, "Yuck, what is up with this site?"

Another example of Conservatives being left in the dust (I hope not)...

The FR site loads quickly. Good for phone modems. Easy for me to read an article and responses.

I don’t see the need for a change.

Give an example (URL) of a very user-friendly forum site; I’ll visit it at your recommendation.
