New Look to the Forums

[Tom Petroff]

Matt,
The new forum looks Great.
I know it's been a hard week for you and Will.

Now all I have to do is figure it all out!

Thanks
TGP

Ooooo Look at all of the lack of buttons! This is nice and easy but with lots of options! Nice work sir! I LIKE IT!

[Matthew Welcher PWA]

Glad you like it, thank you for your years of continued support.

Tom, last week was all Matt as I was out of town, They made the Server switch way quicker than I expected, and unfortunately we have to lock the old Forum sooner that we would have liked to provide plenty of advanced notice.

But today has been, well I could say fun, but man is there a LOT of changes in the new Forum Software, a lot of good, and a lot of where did they stick that and what do they call it now?


Yea Alx, I suspect there will be a lot of cheers and boos when it goes live. Missing buttons make for a cleaner view, but harder something to do what you were used to doing.

It appears that the video links work very well Thank you guys!

I like the new design and I'm excited to see some of the other potential sections and options!

I like the colored headers on the main forum page too!

I did notice one thing poking around before I logged in. It shows any attached photos as links (vice showing the photos once logged in) however there's no exit or navigation buttons on the screen once you click a picture to open it. You have to click the back button to go back to the thread.

Oh and the new photo upload is way cooler!

Looks like the Daylight savings time setting isn't working right. Says my post is an hour in the future! It's nice software but I don't think it's that advanced that was supposed to be a ;-)

Thank you for keeping an eye on things, I really appreciate it.

[Chip Sandage]

Matt! It looks great!
Good job to everyone!

[Matthew Welcher PWA]

Thank you Chip, See you in June.

Desoto61, Thanks for the heads up. It's interesting, depending on the browser, If I look at your post, I see the link, but on some browsers after clicking I see a Page with a single capital letter I, others I get a message that the WEB Page can not be found. But yep they all open it in the same window and the back button is the only way back. I'll look into it.

I don't see any special settings on Images, lets do a little test with all the supported Image File Types:

GIF 1936_Dodge_Trucks.gif

JPG 1936_Dodge_Trucks.jpg

JPEG 1936_Dodge_Trucks.jpeg

JPE 1936_Dodge_Trucks.jpe

PNG 1936_Dodge_Trucks.png


Could not get a BMP or PSD Image to UpLoad.

[W_A_Watson_II]

BMP From URL rather than an UpLoad BMP-2_00.jpg

[W_A_Watson_II]

Seems to be a glitch in the Software. I can't even edit "Guest" Attachment Permissions.

Also when trying to upload a BPM it thinks it's a JPG. Hopefully a patch is coming to address these issues.

I REALLY like the new look and format!

[Matthew Welcher PWA]

Thank you Tim! Have fun and enjoy.

[John S]

Just in looking around . I am liking what I see.!

[Matthew Welcher PWA]

Good deal John, How is your clutch working? Post it up in the Sweptline forum, maybe a few others could chime in?

Went to sign in from Fire Fox at work (I use it at home too), and it didn't work the first time, second time I got the below error message in the sign-in window (shot attached). The Work FF is version 52.2, though once I clicked into this forum to post it shows me as logged in normally. I have not seen this when I logged in from home, that version of FF will be whatever is most current.
