Thanks much

Here's one!

A little dark for me. I find this a problem with generic chief renderings.

Room Planner was started for the IPad, in part because IPad had the market share when we initiated the development. And in part because we wanted something in the MAC market.

 

An Android version is under development. 

 

Windows users actually have the advantage in that many of the newest Windows Tablets can run Chief.

 

Windows users can purchase touch screens to run Chief. I'm not aware of any full MAC OS systems that ship with touch screens. The Mac OS is kind of behind Windows on that score.

 

We don't have any current development going toward a Windows version of Room Planner.

 

Dan,

 

Good to hear, I'm still disappointed that you chose marketing over customer service. It does not bode well for all of us that have stuck by you all these years. It left a bad taste in my mouth. When is the android version comming out.

I don't think Scott Hall deserves the honor period. Not when you live under a bridge, not cool.

About 3 years ago we detailed a plan to allow users to log into all Chief Architect web resources using the same log in. Today we are rolling out the first site that uses our new OAuth system. This technology allows your digital locker log in to work on this site in a very secure manner.

We will soon be adapting this authentication method for our Online Support Center and other Chief Architect Sites.

What this means to you is that your user information is more secure than ever.

We hope that the new forum and gallery meet with your approval. We will be tweaking the site over the next few weeks to make sure the software is running fast and efficiently. Additionally we will be implementing new backup systems to make sure posts are backed up and restored on a continuous basis.

We are using new cloud technology on all our new sites. This means that should this site get slow we can resize it very quickly to accommodate increases in traffic.

Over the years ChiefTalk has become a huge resource and help to our users. You will notice that this new site does not have any of the old posts. The last thing we want to do is take that away, but we wanted to make sure we only keep the best information from the old site. Many of the posts there are out of date or simply don't apply. With that in mind we will be planning to retire the old ChiefTalk site over the next year.

 

As you start posting on this new site let's try to bring some of the best information from the old site and update it with your latest experiences. I will talk about that in some upcoming posts.

I hope everyone has a great experience with the new site. It is new,  like any new thing there may be some bumps. Let's work together to find the bumps and make the site something we can all use.

Thanks to all those that have been involved in this project!

I think it is a great idea but loosing the archived data is not. I hope you can find some way to keep it in the cloud or someplace. I for one use the search all the time to find old threads. I think you are moving in the right direction. 

I just changed my activation from my laptop to my desk top. The library area was blank even after I hit the Lib icon. I went to project browser and back and the libs showed up. Anyone else having the problem? 

I think the Curmudgeon just took the lead in the post count.

I think you are correct, not good

I'm getting used to the new forum. It would of been easier for me if Chief would of given us more information ahead of time. Or am I missing something

I really like the new forum look and feel, but especially the gallery section!  I'm adding a few of my own renderings that I done for our brochure recently.

 

Rosebud Services Brochure

I must admit it is growing on me. My only concern is the archive information. I do visit from time to time.

Should we start a lottery on who gets the first warning. I assume this is for people that get out of hand.

Just checking out the edit button.

I don't understand the need for a number of posts count.

Doug,

Is the helmet a metaphor for protection of us all hammering on you about the changes. It also seems that it take quite a bit longer for a post to get uploaded.

I'm not liking this at all.  It's similar to the transition that I've just made to Windows 8;  a completely unsatisfying, arbitrary change for no apparent reason .

 

I'm adjusting to windows 8; which is just plain user hostile.  I'm adjusting to a new version of the program; which I like, but has a learning curve.  And now I have to adjust to a new forum software which seems less capable, AND will eventually eliminate a very useful archive.

 

I'm feeling that change is inevitable, but not necessarily good.

 

I'm not seeing any upside to this change from a user standpoint. 

I agree, Just changed laptops and am stuck with Win 8. It seems to me that programmers can't help themselves. I fully understand the archive thing but was there an easier way for us the customers. I assume this was easier for the people at Chief. Maybe with more explanation we will ge the hang of it. At my age change is always a little difficult.   

Perry, is that you? I almost didn't recognize you.

I can say the same for you. I see that you went to the hair salon.

I would like that also

ME TOO

Is there a way to get the most recent posts at the top of this window? Right now the most recent is at bottom and I must scroll down to see most recent.

lets hope this is a work in progress and that the programmers get the kinks worked out in a timely manner. 

That was an excellent reason. The number of posts is definitely a gauge of another's knowledge.

I agree most of the time, but not all of the time. Some people like me don't know when to shut up. But that's life.

Is there a WHAT'S NEW BUTTON?

 

I use this all the time   to show only the posts that I have not seen yet.

i could not find it in my searches. I to use the feature every time I log on. I can understand the history of to much data but the complete change in format is beyond me at the moment. I may not be understanding the rationale behind all the changes. I would assume that "cutting the cord was more expedient for Chief

The worst thing about this is having "Newbie" above my picture.  Not sure I can live with that. 

I agree

Dan,

I joined this without realizing what was really happening. I con't seem to find a way to change my handle.
