>I must admit that after a few days of using the new WC format, that I do not miss the frames as much.

I was really frustrated in posts with a huge sea of replies (like this one!) that I spent a lot of time scrolling around. I was also frustrated about the slow response time and the need to keep going back to the previous page when the link was available in the other frame.

Now that the speed issue has been resolved (much faster now!!!!), I needed to figure out what was bothering me about going back to the previous page. The problem is mainly the need to move the mouse up to the top of the page to hit the "back" button. There's a "back" button on my keyboard that I've never really found a need to use before now. But using the mouse in one hand and the "back" button in the other hand makes browsing WC much easier to do.

One benefit of this new format: Sometimes people refer to a thread "above" this one when the thread was really "below" in my reverse order format. Now that everyone has the same format, "above" means the same thing to all users. :-)
