What have they done to our forum???

[pongoglo]

Cant find any of my previous posts, or more importantly the threads. The search engine is rubbish as well. What have they done????

 

[VicS]

I cant find any of you past posts either, even after setting my thread cut off age to "show all threads"

 

[GrahamM376]

I do not like the new format, why did they decide to change something which wasn't bust? Can we have the old one back?

 

[Seajet]

Lots of threads running at the moment all saying the same thing; a disastrous move unless it was somehow forced on IPC by a spotty teenager ' designer ' putting a gun to their heads !

The smilies are rubbish too, where's my proper roll - eyes for Tranonas' posts and no doubt vice versa ?!

Software moves on

As software develops older versions stop being updated for security fixes. If you get too far behind with unsupported software then eventually someone will hack your site and take all the email addresses and personal information and sell them to spammers for pennies.

I wonder what the uproar would be if this had happened instead?

Not sure if it was done for security reasons but it's certainly a consideration when running a website.

Ain't bust, why fiddle with it?

Well, it's been improved!

Everything has to be new, faster, brighter, quicker, improved, with extra added *****.

Think they could have changed the scaffolding without knocking down the front of the house too.

Not totally overwhelmed at the moment

Anyone found a way to sort by thread creation data (like the forum before last had)?

 

[Plyn]

If I remember correctly we all complained when we had the last update, we are now wanting it back!!

 

[rivonia]

Well believe it or not. I was one of the first to complain BUT I am now just about getting the hang of it and beginning to like it. The only thing I still do not like is the wishy washy colours and the brightness.

It's absolutely dreadful with wishy washy colours. Since it's bought in program I don't think it's their choice. However to change the colours is just a few lines of code. Pehaps the mods could ask for it to be changed or get somebody to change it.

 

[charles_reed]

I'm not rushing to defend or to damn the new version of vBulletin, until I've become more used to it. One thing it's considerably faster than the previous one and colours are highly subjective so not really a valid criticism.
Let's wait and see.

go to the bottom of the forum, and select how you want it displayed

 

[CAPTAIN FANTASTIC]

I prefer the new version; it is much more responsive; well done

Apologies for being dense, but where?

Ignore that - found it, thanks

It's not on the main page, or the thread page, but the one in between. Nirvana!

Thanks Brendan.
