hi ub moms, we wrote a couple of days ago about finding a new home for the old UB forum. Well, we're almost done, but if you'd like to receive an email when its ready, you can sign up at http://www..com. This is completely a volunteer effort by a few loyal UBers, we hope you will enjoy it! Spread the word!

        LOL no but I get the web. I think the changes make sense and they'll continue to improve. Plus, UB was going to go belly up if they didn't find some better ways to monetize the site and those Chowhound ads on the bottom weren't cutting it!

        they had YoBaby before the change. Who cares whether the ads are animated? The fact is I noticed the ads more in the old format because they were fixed banners.

      - "Change is good" -- depends on the change. Do you want to change from antibiotics to ground-up rhino horn?

        sure, if it works. perhaps ground-up rhino horn doesn't have the same side effects as antibiotics.

    - I just discovered this new feature! Between that and not having to wait between refreshing and collapsing makes things a little better. If only they would reduce the harshness of the white and make the logo at the top less blatant
