I hate to say It but I dont like the new forum.

[EastcapeAngler]

I was in the majority of those who enjoyed the new get-up. But now I don't know. The first part of this mth. I was banned for a week & never told why... STILL don't know. Adm. never responded to my question of why???
I've read some pretty sick, twisted stuff on here & can't compare anything I said to some of it.
...Least ole harris or jaynes could have answered back. anybody else got this gripe??

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 communicate with all of my riding buddies as easily as before.....

I could not agree MORE with my brudda!!

 

[H2SNOW]

buddy list on the left was cool cuz you could see who was on or not at a glance

 

[Mafesto]

I cannot say why, but I am less active with the new format. ??

Like it or not, something had to be done. That old forum was so antiquated
that it was only one pusshair away from totally useless.

Not sure why a few "longtimers" have dropped out?

As a newbe I have posted more on the new format...go fiquire.

I'm with ya too SS. I can't get used to the new format and find it clunky and disorganized. Maybe i'm just used to the old forum, and have a hard time with change, but I find the new forum hard on the eyes and I don't come here as often as I did on the old forum. I liked the old buddy list , and a lot of the features including private topics was soo much nicer. Even reading PM's was nicer on the old 4m, I cant get used to the new one. Sorry, i'm not usually so negative...

Ice Auger, A turing bot, is a computer program that talks on forums, and tries to pretend to be a person. I was just wondering if your a program or a real person, that's all. Some of them are darn hard to tell.

I like them because they are similar to a couple others I am on so I know how to operate. We definitely need some color. All this white is actually bugging my eyes. The up button on my laptop only works once in a great while so I can't just turn the screen brightness down for this one site either.

Also, rather than a popup message, what would be wrong with having the box that shows your last visit/private message info just turn orange or pink when you have a new message like the Diesel Place does?

Thats cool Wade I can not believe a company does that...I am in real estate and have had quite a bit of time as of lately. Hopefully business picks up in Jan.

Pics are full size if members use the right hosting places such as photo bucket. The click to enlarge is my biggest pet peeve, I don't even look at them if they are a little thumbnail.

As for the colors and so on, I never paid attention to them.

I think the new site is better, it's more in line with what you see out there on other places versus the old forum but nothing is perfect. I think there is too much on here IMO, it takes a while to sift through it all but I haven't been logged out/kicked out due to a server error since it started, that alone makes this site better. There were some times on the other forum that you couldn't log in for hours and once you did you were on there less then 1 minute.

The site is fine.. better than fine. How soon we forget the quirky mess the old one was the last year or so. this is much faster also.

Thanks to the snowest for hosting and having the guts to make the change.

We can mess with the colors as time goes on. The white does get tiring... but we can take it. Jeesshh we're snowmobilers aren't we?

Throw together your own stylesheet and you can make the background whatever color you want

 

[ice auger]

Different colors...would be nice
