New format for the site
 

I will be the first to say I spoken with a lot of people on this site and I have gotten a lot of negative feedback in regards to the new format and the way that you have to navigate the site I would have to say I strongly agree that I do not care for the present layout

At almost 72 years old -- looks like I need more "edgeamication" ... may need some help figuring it out!! Thanks -- TAZ

You are not alone I have heard that from a lot of people

How do you PM someone on the site now. Thanks, Larry

Larry, go to the User CP tab in the upper left corner of the screen, click on it and tab down and you will see where you can send a PM.. This also allows you to edit/see your profile..

i dunno..if you change the skin to default, its just a v8 bullitin site..just about like everyone else on the net..


go all the way to the bottom of any screen..in the big blue line, left sidel theres a drop down..select default..it is easier..

get used to changes like this..its coming..the age of mobile devices have made the changes necessary for compatibility

IIRC, even the 'old' format wasn't always that way, it changed from something else too. Just takes some time getting used to, that's all.

Not a fan. I've always believed if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I'm slowly getting the hang of it.I don't like change but it's inevitable.

Word :)

Not a fan of the new layout.

I had some PM conversations in progress. But no responses and no PMs since the new format. Are people receiving PMs?

The upgrade had to happen. The old site was too vulnerable to attacks. It's not all that different, once you go into your user CP and set everything up.

Jody has been working really hard to get this all fixed (no small feat)-and thanks to Charley for the upgrade (it ain't cheap!)

Give it a few weeks and it will all be good!:youguysrock:

What Bruce said!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"It's not all that different"...I agree, it's not much different to me. I like the dark text on the light background, I think it's easier to read.

Thanks Jody and Charley!

Preach it brother! And thanks to Jody and Charley for making the changes!

With like 4-5 clicks under the following settings - follow here... replicates all former settings:

User CP > Settings and Options > Edit Options:

1) Private Messaging:
-Select "Enable private messaging"
-Select "Receive Email Notification of New Private Messages"
-Select "Show New Private Message Notification Pop-up"
-Select "Save a copy of sent messages in my Sent Items folder by default"

2) Visible Post Elements:
-Select "Show Signatures"
-Select "Show Avatars"
-Select "Show Images (including attached images and images in [IMG] code)"

3) Date & Time Options:
-Set your time zone

Any idea how I can get it to show me which forums have new posts since my last visit, other than looking at the day of the last post? Also, how do I switch it to take me to the first new post since I've visited last? Thanks every, esp Charley for the site. I was having serious withdrawals when it was down. :)

Imho not good

I like it. The forum skin in Edit Options, "Default Style" is very familiar to other forums that I frequent.

Everyone hated the old format when it was new, too. Just give it a few days.

works much better. i like it. Great job

Working through it and will adjust. I wasn't able to make a post using the Youtube button. Do I need to adjust how I do it?

Really don't mean to be a jerk, but I don't like it! Trying to load pictures............ very hard.........other site very easy. Trying to load profile pic ............. 900 x 696 wont load! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhh!!!!!!!

Hey ............. I figured out how to post a picture :)

Now if I could just figure out how to add it to my profile pic :)

By the way, thank you to all who make the site work................. I hate change .............. but its inevitable ...... :)

YEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS I am on a roll .............. I am learning some new tricks ................. ok ........... things are getting better ............. :)

We should be pleased we have a site such as this to frequent. The rest will be dealt with in time and will become non issues. Thanks to Charley for keeping it going.

LOL...You got it!

Thanks Charley and Jody, I love the new additions, the sYc banner makes a big difference :-)

Ryan

PS: I get a 404 error fairly often, is this during updates and changes?

I'm in!! Thanks Jody for the extra help!! Six emails later, I even did a photo

X2!!

Great Job on the upgrade!

Now to figure how to post a picture...test coming soon!

Sheesh...my lab got a early start this morning!

Better, better...it's getting there! Thanks.

agree -- !!!!!!!

We've still got a big list of mods for the site, appreciate your patience. There's a reason that pretty much every big car forum is Vbulletin, it's just a great system with a lot of options. Swapping over just gives you a standard setup, and then you have to tweak from there.

New format
 

How do I change to central time right now it is 3:34 Chicago time and the site says 9:34 GMT?

Bill

Bill,

Click on user cp (upper left of the page) Click user options, then scroll down to date and time and you'll see an adjustable time zone box you can set to your time zone. Set it, click "save changes" at the bottom and it's done.

color change much better

Jody, Here's a hint for you and others. I live in the EST zone but I had to choose CST for the time to appear correctly. IF it doesn't get fixed, just select one time zone earlier than where you are.
