New Forum Software
« on: November 20, 2011, 02:08:15 AM »
Hello,

The forum software upgrade is complete. Over the next few weeks we will be making small changes as we find ways to optimize your experience and fix any reported issues.

I don't think that read/unread statuses carried over, you can mark whole sections as read though - so this should be relatively painless. I don't think that notification settings carried over either, so you may need to find any important threads that you want notifications for and enable them individually.

I haven't done a whole lot of testing so please report any issues in this thread.

We will continue to fine tune the spam issue over the next couple of weeks. There are probably some spam threads that were not deleted before the conversion. If you find any please click on the report to moderator link (bottom right).

Best Regards,
Steve

Great job, Steve!  Waking up to the new forum.  I will be cleaning up some of the junk and tweaking over the next couple days.  Definitely an upgrade!

Hi Duane and Richard etc .........

Looks good and kudos to Steve, knowing as I do how software upgrades can be a major hassle.  Got my email about this so, nice to stay in touch, although as many older members know I am pretty much out of forums these days.

Best regards to all, Chris

Nice work.  Forum looks great!

What do you guys think of the lighter background and higher visibility text in the color scheme put in place around 3pm Eastern today?

I like the color scheme. It is easy on old eyes. I have gone to lasers on primary carry weapons.

Duane:

I also like the 3:00 pm color sheme revision and the restoration of the original order of topics. I am particularly impressed with the speed of the new software. Thank you again to you and Steve.
