Cause that would just suck. Although I am liking the format of Avenue so far.

I doubt it. Avenue (unlike ELM) wasn't designed by a bunch of dipshits. The guys who designed it actually understand web programming and server implementation, and of course aesthetics and functionality.

Now if we could only get them to redo mugsi :p

Lol, redoing MUGSI would be a huge success if done correctly.

It seems the math department doesn't want to give Avenue a shot, seeing the profs uses the math department website instead of Avenue (math 1b03 and 2k03)

Only $ 0.50? lol, I'd be willing to pay $20 if it meant I never had to see:

No it won't. Around this time, avenue is being used at a peak load. Almost everybody is checking it out. ELM had crashed on thursday of the first week last year.

Although I like the fact that Avenue is not crashing, am I the only one that misses ELM's layout? It was much better having lectures and lab manuals organized in folders rather than what Avenue is doing with the big list. It feels like its gonna get messy in a few weeks and hard to find stuff.

And the discussion part of ELM was great, while it seems like Avenue's discussion sucks...

I miss ELM.
