nlacy 692 Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 looks slick. reminds me that I should send some money in to support the forum. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shades_of_grey 1,092 Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 I'm not a fan. It's fucked up my signature and some of my profile settings. I prefer the old +1 or -1 rep system as well. Oh well, guess I'll "get used" to it, but I prefer the way it was just yesterday... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paulyski 2,227 Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 Edit.... Fixed I do however like the absence of the ability for the forum trolls to neg-bomb people. If people don't like something they need to grow a pair & speak up with a valid rationale... Otherwise, STFU. There are many neat new features. I like how it's more subdued than before. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shades_of_grey 1,092 Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 Ass-raped my Avatar which is my business logo & shrunk it at the same time. HUGE -1 to that... I agree. I don't like being limited to sorry-ass tiny thumbnail size for my avatar.. at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't like being limited to sorry-ass tiny thumbnail size for my avatar.. at all. I'm not going to really change anything for a couple of days. I'm sure the admin & mod team are scrambling to fine tune everything. There's really no way to predict exactly what will change & what'll need to be tweeked until the software switch takes effect. I do see some neat new things though. However, I'd advise against switching your viewing theme. I tried that & the forums disappeared. I had to hit the back button a couple times & re-select I.P. Board to see the forums again when I tried it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nlacy 692 Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 It's hard for me to be too critical since it's free. I give props to the people running the forum because it's way beyond me and I know they're not getting rich off of it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
schultze13 354 Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 So far I dont like it "I want my old forum back." But I felt the same way last time they changed Gunbroker and I got used to it so I guess I will do the same with this in time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nailbomb 10,221 Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 I'm sure the admin & mod team are scrambling to fine tune everything. LOL, just got back from traveling for a job at a chemical plant. I don't even know where anything is. Its always weird when the forum changes, but it shows the effort Makc puts into this to keep it up to date. You have to adapt to survive. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Peckaldee 12 Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 Wish the mobile format would come back. Now my screen takes forever to load on smartphone. Cannot get it to switch back to mobile. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dayofruin 425 Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 I like it. Seems to work well with my iPhone. That's what i use most for the forum while I'm at work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

saltydecimator 482 Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 The mouse-over preview doesn't work anymore when hovering over a thread title ya thats weak. i liked that feature. hey, since its a "forum", why werent our thoughts/suggestions/likes/dislikes considered? i understand its free, blabllahblah blah, but seems kinda strange. i do like that the stickies are more visually separated now. thats cool Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chevyman097 2,579 Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 Trying to get my setting back like i had them. Cant find out how to block avatars. Anyone able to find that setting yet? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BpS12 512 Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 Ok, so we've gone Facebook. Much the same, I'll figure it out eventually. But I'm still trying to get used to the changes on Facebook. Why all these social sites changeing all of a sudden? Do they know something we should? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DogMan 2,343 Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 I find myself walking around in a daze. I don't know what's real anymore. Everything I thought I knew just seems like a dream. I feel like the world has been turned upside down. But..........I think I'll adapt. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
schultze13 354 Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 (edited) Ok after a day I am getting use to the new format and I am starting to like it. I have only found 3 things I don't like and I hope get changed while they are working out the bugs. 1. There is to much white background with a lighter border in the forum. It never hurt my eyes before the change, being on here for hours. Or is there a way I can subdue the brightness in my settings??? 2. I would like to see the avatars back the size they were.Ok thats fixed Thanks. 3. When I look at gallery pics unless I open the pic it is deformed a little. While I know these are little things all in all I am liking the new format. And I am also greatful for makc and all the mods. for all the work they do on the forum to make this place one of the coolest forums out there I can only imagine the amount of shit they have got to put up with on this forum from trolls to whining bitches, I know you guys probably don't hear this enough but THANK YOU all for you time and effort you put into the forum.

22_Shooter 1,560 Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 The only thing I'm noticing since the change is that my password/login are no longer saved, even though it's still saying it is in my browser settings (Firefox) and I have "remember me" checked on the forum itself.

"remember me" never worked for me, even with the old software, (I use IE 8). It always worked for me. Not a big deal though. Im on my phone right and and I will say it looks better than the old mobile version. Before, it would let you scroll WAY off to the side, unecessarily. Its nice and tightened up now.
