How do you like the new forum? - Page 5

dennis49 · 09-26-2011, 05:26 AM

So far not liking it so much, but I'm sure it doesn't matter what we all feel. If it makes it easier for the moderators that's a good thing.

I like it. I like the look of the new forum. I'm pretty computer illiterate anyway so I'm fumbling my way thru it. I like the pictures. Now I'll have to try to post some.

I could go to work and get on work computer, click on the thread that I commented on and it would take me to the next post someone left. This one I have to either read the whole thing from the start again or click on the last page, then have to go back a page or two looking for my comment then start reading forward.

Yes, when you get to the screen with the threads.....see the little arrow pointing down just to the left of the thread title......click on that and it will take you to the first new post. I think that is what you are talking about ??

Wow. Just finished making all of the changes to my profile and signature, etc that were on the old forum. It would have been nice to have access to the old stuff to make the transition easier. Other than that, the forum does not seem too bad.

You do have access to it...everything is still on the old forum.

I'm sure we'll get adjusted to it. Change is never easy for most. We fuss because things are the same. We fuss because things are changing??? So far so good....

And could we change color on the page from a Honda Red to a Kawasaki GREEN..(lol)

DJ, what happened? You change your Username as well?

I like it, especially that the signature pictures are size constrained and so don't fill a full page. They are there, and you can see them, but you can also scroll through the posts much more easily. Albums are there for larger pictures. I think it is nicely done.

Todd,

Thanks again, I believe you are right. I didn't see that little arrow on all of them, but now that I know what I'm looking for, that might be the answer.

I wouldn't have a problem if I didn't keep going through this at work all the time. I'll get it. It just might take a while.

Getting used to it. The good news is that I have inherited my dad's memory so the old forum is already hazy to me.

I wish Admin would move the staff areas to the bottom. Maybe the opprotunities area as well. Less to go throught to get to the regional stuff that way.

You read my mind...that was in the works!

Don't really like it to much, I'am having trouble with all that reregistering stuff, Ihad evrything set up just right with the old site, I'am computer dum but I'll figure it out with time I guess.

I went back to the KawaNOW site and all the bookmarks I had, I highlighted, then transferred them to a document on my e-mail. I did this for all of them and then I go to the search portion of the new site and if the words are reasonably close, and they should be, it brings up the original site and or similar sites. Actually works quite well. For Your Information. Dennis
