raltd9245 25 Posted February 22, 2014 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raltd9245 25 Posted February 22, 2014 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raltd9245 25 Posted February 22, 2014 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. Ron Ravenscroft Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raltd9245 25 Posted February 22, 2014 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blayman 0 Posted February 22, 2014 Not sure if I like this new forum or not. Some parts seem user friendly while others are not. But I guess I'll make it in the long run. Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raltd9245 25 Posted February 22, 2014 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rich_Winsor 200 Posted February 22, 2014 I'm not usually one who is resistant to change, but I'm finding lots of little things that seem less productive than the previous forum's tools. My latest gripe concerns the attached thumbnails and how they are navigated. Specifically I hate the new "flyout" tabs that take you to the previous and next images. "Prev" flies out in the upper left portion of the screen and "Next" flies out clear on the other side of the screen. Add to this that the close tab remains in the lower right hand corner and you have to wheel all over the screen. I've got a 30" monitor. That takes 24" to cross the screen and another 12" to 30" to get down to the close tab depending upon which side of the screen you start from. Do I qualify for frequent flier miles for my mouse travel? Well I guess one way to boost your post count is to reply to your own posts. Live and learn. You can now scroll thru multiple thumbnails by using the left and right arrow keys. Something that was not available in previous forums. However I still think the mouse navigation is ill conceived.

Doug_Park 64 Posted February 24, 2014 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. Ron Ravenscroft No it was what I had on my facebook page. I'm not the one getting hammered on though. For the most part this is a marketing driven change so I can't take credit for the good or bad on the design of this forum. Please keep giving feedback as that will help to make it better.

GeneDavis 145 Posted February 24, 2014 Anybody know why my warning posts count is showing? Zero is good, I guess. Are they like speeding tickets? Like, go away after a while, in your record? Can a state trooper get my warning post count by scanning my license plate? I had better just take cabs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joe_Carrick 2364 Posted February 24, 2014 Gene, I don't think anyone else can see them. You are the only one that can see your own warning posts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BenPalmer 32 Posted February 24, 2014 what setting do i change to only get an email on the first new post, and not every single post...that is how the legacy forum works...my inbox is under attack from this thread...I know I can stop following it, but something that I need to figure out for all forums...thanks.

JoAnne04330 1 Posted February 24, 2014 Oh fabulous another new Chief Forum. (I vaguely recall the last time they did this, but that was a long long time ago) Think what I'm going to miss more than a post count, because I'm more of a lurker than a participant, is my 20th century "born on" date 09-04-1999. Now we all appear so new and green. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rgfeher 5 Posted February 25, 2014 By Gene Anybody know why my warning posts count is showing? Zero is good, I guess. Are they like speeding tickets? Like, go away after a while, in your record? Can a state trooper get my warning post count by scanning my license plate? I had better just take cabs. I couldn't quote, as his post didn't have that option - why? No idea My questions - what are wraning post and if you have zero - why is it listed at all Doesn't make sense to me Tried to find the help section for this forum - but am at a loss where that can found Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dshall 1514 Posted February 26, 2014 By the way, just to the left of the reply count is a hidden button that let's you preview a thread and it will list the first and last post to a particular thread. I would still like to see the last post listed at the top. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HumbleChief 481 Posted February 26, 2014 Testing my new handle How do you post an image in the signature file? Can't seem to find an icon to do so. I see the old forum had an 'insert signature picture' button. No such thing that I can see on the new forum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dan_Park 39 Posted February 26, 2014 Testing my new handle How do you post an image in the signature file? Can't seem to find an icon to do so. I see the old forum had an 'insert signature picture' button. No such thing that I can see on the new forum. It's annoying to me that there is no advanced option on that editor. I'll try to put together a good way to do this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
