did the layout of the forums change today, I noticed this morning the whole site changed looks for me, or did I hit upon an unknown setting?
 
Not just you. Still having trouble figuring out where to go (as if I don't get told where to go often enough).
 
Tapatalk has to be reinstalled which we are doing tomorrow. Sorry for that.

Yes, the forum has changed but for the better in the long run. It is the same software, just an updated version. Sort of like getting a newer version of a car you've been driving for a while. The buttons are in different places but it is still the same car. Please take the time to go over the new look. There are a bunch of new things we can do now. The bugs are being worked out
 
I don't recall that there were problems with the former forum and I wonder what more did we need.
 
Come on people...get with the program. Running Windows XP forever isn't such a good idea either.
 
Anything new bothers some folks, I'm already getting used to it........the only glitch I found was the new posts, and that's been fixed.
 
I still hadn't figured out the old one so probably not going to affect me as much. I can work with it, just gotta play with it a little. The only problem I found so far was the new topics button, but it apparently works now. Is that the one we would use like we did the other one to quickly see what's new?
 
The new look is terrible. It's just so Blah! The place needs a rose garden or something. And what's with the bar code under our name. So I realize that you are trying to do a good thing but trust me on this' date=' you effed up.[/quote']Tiger:

This roll-out has gone much smoother than the JLC's roll-out of the same vBulletin version, it took weeks before anyone could post anything, at least without several error messages requiring starting all over again. They have lost lots of participants and others are still threatening to leave unless something is changed. I give Jeff credit, he seems to have pulled it off, albeit not nearly as nice as what we had before.

JAR did you send out a warning I missed, just caught off guard by the change, not a problem I will figure it out

I'm glad you like it!!

I haven't really looked around yet to see if there are any user settings that we can change at our end.
