Help me out here. I'm not on like I used to be but I thought we got rid of the footer after every post. I dont want to see if you have powermadd risers and a boost bottle. Also the looks are harsh can you adjust the colors of the forum like the old style? Whats up with the pics all being small? I doesnt seem like its moving faster either. Can you put your buddy list on here? Sorry I'm just frustrated right now.
I hate to say It but I dont like the new forum.

its going to take some adjusting and after you get more used to using the new forum it gets easier. yes to the buddy thing it is in the quick links tab in the black bar. I am still not used to it but getting better.
You'll get used to Vbulletin in no time, it's a lot better than the old format. I'm a member of numerous boards and Snowest was always the most difficult and primitive to use.
There are a few minor things I don't like about the new forum, but overall, it works well enough.
If I had to list the 2 biggest things I don't like, I would have to say...
1.
To reply, it changes the window so that you can't see the thread while you type, instead of opening a new tab.
2.
the buddy list is not as easily viewable.
Other than those, I am happy for the most part

The more people we have posting and viewing, the slower it's gonna go. I will say it's a bit faster than the old forums, but not by much. I like the formatting of the old forums better. It was cleaner looking.
If I had to choose forums between performance and looks, I'll take the new forums.

Is "ice auger" a real person, or just some turing bot?

Can you set your page up to have all the thread sections to click on, on the left? Just so you don't have to do all the backing up with the back button. I miss that feature from the old forum.
I second that. that would be nice to be able to that. sux. having to go back to the main screen then to another section.

Try tabbed browsing.
I keep the main page on the left tab, open each category in a new tab. Inside each category, I load each thread a new tab without going to it (shift-click). Page loads while i'm still clickin on threads.
Eventually I get all the threads loaded, start closing windows. Pagedown, pagedown, pagedown, end of thread, close tab. Pagedown, pagedown, pagedown, end of thread, close tab.
Instant gratification.

Ahem!!
Scroll down to the bottom of this thread. There is a "jump" function that you can select another section
Getting used to it and starting to like this format and it's definately faster (most of the time).
I liked storing a million photos in the old format for easy posting and you can only keep so many in this format. Now I have to go back and re-"manage" each picture once they get filled up. I guess it's no big deal. My thinking is a picture says a thousand words so I like to put em in most posts and I like to see lots of them when reading what other people say and think (on relevant stuff).
Had an easier time keeping track and the organization of rolling or on going pm's in the old format. I get hundreds of them so it's been a bit of a challenge but overall it's been pretty good.

What the heck is a turning bot? The auger is a fast drinking, hair trigger, jail escapee...hehe
you can turn off signatures (I believe that is what you are referring to) in the User CP
click on "Edit Options" on the left hand side
Scroll Down till you see "Thread Display Options"
Uncheck the first check box for "Show Signatures"
Hope this helps.
Where is the guy with the humping storm trooper when you need him
I'm not a fan! I've noticed we've lost a lot of long timers since the change over. No private topics is my biggest complaint. I notice I am rarely on Snowest anymore because I can't communicate with all of my riding buddies as easily as before.....
