>>What concerns me is the following sentence in your message: We won't be able to 100%, exactly, totally, completely match the old SI, i.e. some features don't exist or just don't work the same way with the new infrastructure. I wonder if that means we will have to comprimise and get stuck with commercials, aka banners? Just kidding....i hope :)

Joan, I don't think that any "key" features will be missing, but let me give you an example. The Bull and Bear Survey is history when the old site goes away. Sorry. I am sure that there will be a handful of folks that will be crushed by this news, but the Bull/Bear Survey gets almost zero traffic, so it doesn't make sense for us to continue to support it. With respect to "key" features, not only do I expect all of the "key" features to remain, but by implementing a solution in this manner, we should be able to integrate new "key" features (like view 10 messages) within the Classic Format Customization Option. Thanks, Bryan
