first I thaught I´m in the wrong forum then I have seen I was mnot, but the new design I don´t like. when you read a thread until finish there isno buttom to go back on the end, you have to scroll to the top to find this buttom. also when you like to start a new thread you only can do this when you scroll completely down. so this forum makes no fun anymore ! ! !
...For sure (I hope) this is transitory for something else. Terrible. In the meanwhile, on below drop box you can chose other templates - try the "darker" or old and see if it fits better.
You just have to get comfortable with it. There is an up arrow bottom right whenever you want to jump all the way back up. Makuono liked your post, that couldn't have happened the old software.
Friendly suggestion from someone who ran forums for 20+ years. Like turning up the heat in the pot with the frog in it, I suggest making a list of the 20-40 changes that wish to be rolled out, and then changing one every two days or so. With the recent new forum software upgrade, some care was obviously put into it to minimize the changes in the look/feel of the forums - something that has been branded over the years. That was good! However, this new overnight "skin" seems to remove all of that branding and in my opinion makes this forum look sterile like a gmail intereface now. I too thought I was on the wrong forum and went back twice to make sure Google didn't accidentally route me somewhere else? -Wayne
Rob, I think Romano was complaining about something that happened to me also - when I entered the forum about 15min ago, the format was bizarrely changed - mostly white and with less icons and images. After playing with the "styles" drop menu, suddenly the format went again to the normal one. This is why we were complaining. Maybe it was just a glitch. Right now all appears to be good again! ...And yes, the "like" function is cool, even for us "non-milenials"
Yes, maybe the default "skin" for everyone changed accidentally today. It did for me! See this screenshot:
Yes, the skin changed. I just changed it back to "NEW" and it looks okay now. Rob, I would take a look at the default settings for people or something like that... -Wayne
Ah ha! Thank you for posting this, I just did this and it changed the skin back to the way it looked a hour ago!
ha, sorry sorry sorry guys. I had no clue what you were talking about. FerrariChat looked same for me because I have selected the New skin as my choice. earlier today guess when I was looking for some code I accidentally changed the default skin from New to a non-public parent skin. OK, sorry for being testy, I just couldn't believe why anyone was bitching 6 months later and I'm disappointed anyone would think I would do that on purpose.
No worries. I made that same error at least once in the past as well, and everyone thought I was the devil, and a whole bunch of Wayne voodoo dolls were crafted and pinned before I could fix it. -Wayne
Rob, if it helps any, I now actually like the new forum software, even though I was a big complainer about it when it first changed. I would not want to go back to the old system. .
It appears that it is now impossible to include youtube videos. Why? Adding videos was a great feature in the prior software. VERY sad to it go. Am I missing something?
