Hey Bob! How are you doing down South...in the WARMER weather these days!? It sounds like you are TOO used to being warm! That's why you think this site looks COLD! You're not used to looking at ice blue any more! LOLOriginally Posted by navistar
When the look of this site changed I was confused and put off by it. I still am. It's been months and months since I posted. I liked the simple, homey look and function of the original site. Maybe because I'm simple. Why was it changed? Why wasn't there a beta site test and a member vote? This one is too slick, cold, unwelcoming and leaves me flat.
I think you're overdue to fly/drive back to KC and have tacos with me! :-)
Regarding this site, I wouldn't call the appearance significantly different than before. I think most functions are just shuffled around a bit. But the beta test WAS a great thought! I bet the "obstacle" to beta-testing is that technology often FORCES users to update versus lose support (or function). I'm saying staying with the old might not have been an option!
Example: Windows 10 is probably going to obsolete our Windows 7 machines one of these days. I'm not thrilled about that either! But, ya cope...
My concern is that SO much time has gone by that the old site's thread IDs will never be converted to this new database engine. Maybe the site Mocha thought it would be a simple update to numerically update the old thread IDs to the new ones. I'd think that's how it would work...but it didn't happen. Maybe it's impossible? If so, it's a shame that years and years of linked threads may forever be "broken". Considering Mocha (Scott's) condition -- as updated above -- and in this thread, I'm not sure Scott is aware of the broken link issue? His update only mentions fixing email -- as I took it.
Without links, it's still possible to find things...It just takes a lot more digging.
BTW, Bob. VXII is still running great for me! LOL I've thought about selling (at the 5 yr mark), but I can't get myself to turn loose of it!!!! Thanks again, for selling her to me!!!
