Adding new features from the beta version such as viewing 10 messages at a time to the Original SI should definitely be the best of both worlds for SI members (some use the Coke analogy - "Classic" and I guess I use the KFC slant - "Original" <gg>). If the Original site incorporates some of the Extra Crispy site's new functions <gg>, then will SI be running 2 betas at once or are there plans to go directly to production? Also, IMO, if a few minor features from the Original need to go then it seems like a small sacrifice to please the masses.

I'm wondering how many members will then stick to the Original SI version with the new customizable options rather than migrate to the new site? New members might use the new site if that's the default and there are current members who have stated they prefer the new, but I'm just curious as to what the projections would be for traffic on the two interfaces? Also, would both sites continue to be supported regardless of the traffic on either option should it turn out that the vast majority end up on one site or the other? Cost-effectiveness shouldn't be an issue since both options would be on the new interface as the Original SI would be an option and not a unique site, right?

Looks like a great compromise which speaks to the comments regarding whether or not SI management cares about its members.

Just don't start with a third option, please... "Tender Roast" or whatever. <gg> Don't think I could stand another debate on the interface!

Hmmm... it happens to be lunchtime here... what a coincidence!
