Poll On New Forum

[marine_man]

I'd have to agree with everyone else... I really like the new format.. especially the feature that jumps down to the first new thread in a post... very nice!

Only complaint is how slow / long it takes to load...

Great Job!

I like the new look. I do agree it does seem slower. I do like it, though.

I like the new setup but like all new things, it will take getting used to. I would bet if you took another poll in a couple of weeks the ratings would be even more positive once folks get used to it. This is an excellent forum no matter what the format.

[Chris-Neises]

The old site was much easier!

[muskybuck]

I'd like to take my hat off to the Webwarrior. Sounds like this is your baby. I can imagine how much time it took to do so. Things look pretty good I'd say!!! Good job!!

[LocalGuide]

I like the new forums so far. It gives you a lot more options on what you want to do. Like the background colors and other things. I think its pretty darn cool, good job!

[Kidd]

These avatar's are way too much fun

[pikerliker]

I don't really care for the changes myself. It seems a bit confusing and cluttered. I like simplicity! I preferred the old format. There are more options but nothing that was really needed in my opinion.

Good one MT Net I do occasionally get 5 mins to browse the web

[jegerjack]

The features are nice and all but I prefer the old one.... I come here for good stories and advice not for all of the features…. The simplicity of the old format was one of the reasons I preferred this site over others, but I will not stop coming here just because of the new format...

[Guest]

I like it. The old forum would get kinda boring if there was no new posts on the treads that I go to. Now you can kill hours playing around

Plus you can change the display color, have more smiles, change the font or maybe use but to be nit picky I would like a spell check or an automatic spell check like MS Word has. Now if I can figure out how to post a pic then I'm set! Woo Hoo

OK I can't change/figure out the font or color deal.

It seems like it works pretty well to me. I have to give credit to Rick and everyone who managed to make the transition without much difficulty.

Good job!!

There are several other boards out there with the same format so the adjustment has been easy. It's nice not to scroll down to the bottom every time you want to make a reply to a post.

Up N orth, it's amazing the amount of 5 minute coffee breaks there are throughout a typical workday.

[marine_man]

Will the private message functionality be turned on anytime? Or... is it only me who can't figure out how to use it?

Thanks!

what do the yellow stars mean? I see some have more then others and some do not. At first I tought it had to do with how many posts you have but no. AJ

[Dan Wood]

The PM feature isn't going to be an option on this forum - it creates too many problems...

[Granny]

Andy,

I was wondering the same thing about the stars?

[Finns]

I think I'm going to like it. Yes it will take some getting used to but what the heck, I've got the time. Finns

[Dr. Bob]

What kind of problems do personal messages cause?

[Rick]

Dr Bob,

I don't know what problems you're referring to but they do suck up the bandwidth and slow things down.

We just don't and won't have PMs here so it's a moot subject.

[jlm]

I like the new format, you can do so much more with it if you want to. Things change and so do formats. In this case, it will be for the better if you take the time to learn it! Lots of guys out there to help you if you have any problems, just let us know!

[Guest]

PM's doesn't make this forum more effective. Its just a feature that most people will have to get used to all over.

This is a public forum and forum to share knowledge

Rick,

Love the new format. It just takes a little getting used too. I'm willing to bet, those that do not like it right now, will once they get the hang of it.

Great site. Thanks for everything you, and all the moderators, do to make this site what it is.
