I hate this new forum

I hate this new forum [soapbox]

3 tries attempting to post a new topic with images, screwed the color up, and refused to post, always returned to same 'new topic ’ window, I may hold off posting new subjects here till the bugs are worked out

Boy Vic, if you hold off on posting you may lose your top 10 standing! [}:)]

OK what’s the problem I’ve added new post’s with picture’s with no glitch’s. maybe we can help??

Picture posting work’s like it did before.

Dave

I second Vic’s notion to change fourms!

And Dave is that Bachmann track?

There is good advice and a few good informational links here, http://cs.trains.com/trccs/forums/t/139429.aspx, if you have not already seen it.

So Sorry

If you quit posting, I won’t have anyone to putz with but an old seven toe’d toad.

Must depend on what kind of system and web browser and type of internet connection each person has as to how this new forum format works. For me, I like it, it loads faster, looks cleaner and sharper, couple of new buttons I’ve not figured out yet, but seems to be working fine for me.

If you would only wait it out until the next time the forum software changes we can read about how this current format was all that and a bag of chips. Remember when we were first asked “paper or plastic” at the grocery store and we all picked paper, until we no longer had a choice and now everybody is happy happy with plastic? I personaly have seen no real difference in the new forum as far as the way it works. Sure, there was a glitch or two on initial start up, but is that so much a problem?

I’ll learn to content myself with whatever forum format our host uses as we really don’t have any choice in the matter. It’s not as though we are paying for its use after all.

TJ summed it up exactly right.

I’ll continue to reply to messages, but unless the posting aspects get smoother…I’m not going to push the rock uphill just to post something.

Like the last time the forum changed, it takes a long while for all the “improvments” to actually work right.

Watch it Vic, Mother Rene might lock your thread…[;)]

Toad

I doubt Mother Rene would, but I’m not so sure of Father Mark or Brother Bergie!

Screw it,

I’m just gonna post and if the fabulus new software condenses my entire post into one long blerb with photos that splayed out across the screen because it removed all spacers and paragragh indentations when I uploaded it, so be it, its not my forum or my problem, they can fix it.

A bit more long suffering on everyone’s part probably would not hurt.

You my Sir are a true American! I applaud you Sir! And if you was in the Military, Thank you for your Service.

Toad, Are nuts,NO it’s aristo Stainless at 8 AM with the sun shinning thru the fence and I had my camera set on macro opp’s and no it has not been cleaned ever, i even have some with real rust that’s working fine.

Dave

Pops,

Just asking [C):-)]

But I do wounder who buys up all that Bmann track on eBay?

Though this Christmas I was invited to run the G scale trains at Alvin Depot in Alvin, Tx. a olé AT&SF place so I got some for the Trolley car.

Now I call it throw down track!!! MRC working both tracks and have tested it to the high balling stages!

After hearing horror stories from others thought they would not want to steal the track.

Toad

WHERE did you get the bleeding hearts? Cool.

Um, I thought the definition of ‘seamless software’ was that it’d work with ALL configurations.

Now, you guys with that Asian software/hdwe like Foxfire, Macintosh (alias Apple) Freebies R Us, I find it tough to be sympathetic. (I’ll give a pass to Linux, which my son the IT?\AT whatever) touts. I paid to put him thru Computer Skool. I let him live at home rent free, food free. Son of mine that he is, he also took that to mean ‘Dads beer = food.’ Can’t fault his logic. Wish MY dad had let me live at home and drink his beer and eat his food and suck up his a/c and heat. Being of the Depression Generation, he had a sorta ‘survival of the fittest’ attitude. I don’t fault him a’tall. Made me a better man.

Les

Yeah this new color scheme or what ever is really hard on the eyes to look at for different things and the forum button is way to far over, bring it back to the left…

Byron C.

It takes way to long between post and every thing eles to download,by the time you do read a post and click back and then click the next post it takes almost 2-3 minutes.It taks much to long to see all the post you want to see.I also liked it better when all the forum were on one page.

Thanks,David

“I hate this new forum”

Well I have to say the same…

Guess Triggy & Vic pulled up stakes so I am thinking…Why not?

I get the mag, send out letter so I can enter contest each month, go to the other fourms where it ain’t ruled harsh as this one. Gives me 3 new forums I get to play there! hmmmmmm
