What happened to the forums!?!?

Featured Replies

I agree. I don't like it, and I expect my content will "have to be approved by a moderator" - when did that happen??? 1984 is it?

Relax. Things are already changing for the better (topics vs questions, voting). The staff have use this forum too. Give them a chance to fluff and tweak.

You should have seen how many man hours it took to even get it the way it looks right now.  The new IPB layout was a shock to us too, but we are slowly making it look familiar again.  Thanks for being patient.  If you have specific feedback, it would be appreciated.  "It sucks" makes me want to scroll right past what you're saying (just a thought).

3 lines of your text, 1 line of Quoted text  you included and the whole post window of yours takes up a third of my vertical screen real estate.

Gonna' need a bigger mouse wheel!

 

Why are certain notification attributes set by the administrators? If I want notifications (and I don't especially) I'll set those attributes, thank you very much. The whole point of a "profile" is for users to set their preferences - having admins set user preferences is obtrusive and annoying at best.

The change is prettier but as others have said, the functionality is much worse.

My biggest complaint is the massive amounts of wastes screen space. I come here to read and type, not scroll and click.

 

This is not acceptable, 8-10 from seconds from press a forum link till it's open.

What's wrong guys?

If it's not acceptable, you know what to do. That'll show 'em. :tw_cookie:

P.S. Who picked those God awful smilies?

Hang on guys, LOL.  We are not aware of some of these default settings you are mentioning (like the notifications stuff).  I found a way to unrestricted those.  From what I see on the admin end, I can set default ones (which I just put most of them to the notification list when you login on the forum).  So you aren't inundated with e-mails, I unchecked most of the e-mail ones.

 

Ron, who doesn't like a cookie?  I picked those smiles this morning because the default ones were busted. With a fresh mind, they are not pretty.  Off to find new ones but there are some other areas I want to focus on first.

Sincerely,

Chase

LOL I hoped it would be somebody nameless.

Lord I hope so! I really miss the 'venerable old emojies' expecially the hat-tip, uber-geek, and the ROTFL ones... :)

They did this once before but sense prevailed and they returned the Forums topics to their original position. My experience is that most websites are designed by webmasters who never/have not used them. BTW, I hate the new format. The old adage...."if it ain't broke don't fix it"

There was no choice. The forum software was fixing to have its support expire, so updating to the latest version was mandatory. Give the hard working volunteer staff time to complete the migration and get the hundreds of options configured!

Hi Folks,

Everyone - - - hates - - - change - I'm sure the admins are getting everything settled and are still working out the kinks - take a few deep breaths and give them a chance to see how it shakes out... They work very hard to support us - no need for pitch forks and torches just quite yet...

Regards,

Scott

Hey Scott.  I hope you are right.  I'm  doing my deep breathing now.  :D  Oh, I don't like the emoticons either.   :tw_grimace:
