The older versions, before the renaming, were excellent. Hell, I couldnt live without it. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/frown.gif]

Why didn't the people who didn't know what it was google it?
And if they weren't that interested, why ask about it

I use an old version. Tell me.

I really dont mind how the new one looks (although I really did prefer the old look)... The problem is, it doesnt respond the same anymore. With the old version, you could start the menu, make a selection,and submit it in one fell swoop. With the new version, youve got to click 3 or four times just to find what you want, and even then theres no garuntee itll really work. And you can forget the whole open-while dragging thing, that doesnt work worth a ****.


I want the old version back. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/frown.gif]

I use Firebird and I've never heard of this. But, it looks really stupid anyway.

I think it looks pretty neat, is it something that pops up when you right click or something to that matter?

Looks annoying to me. I'd rather have the functions one click away rather than several. The screen space it takes up looks kinda big too. I'll stick to plain toolbars thanks [http://forums.massassi.net/html/wink.gif]

Edit: Thinking about it I never use my toolbar much either, I just use buttons 4 & 5 on my mouse as back and forward and thego button on my keyboard.
