Hey Gregg ... I agree but haven't had the kahunas to state it openly. I liked the old SI look & feel much better. I do like the ability to see 10 current posts BUT I liked the old charts plus the 5 day trading snapshot much better than what we have now. I also like Yahoo's ability to search on all posts / boards by author .... a really neat feature, maybe we have it here but I can't locate it ? I'm a GNET long and not at all impressed by this "upgrade". Gardener
