Dont care for the changes so far.

Just sayin.Shouldnt we be able to filter our activity by "started threads" or "subscribed threads" ?

hang in there. Things are getting fixed.

Think of it like baking a cake.

You bake the cake - you upgrade the forum
first layer of frosting covers all the really bad crap - first day basic fixes are made
second layer of frosting is the base to make it mostly pretty - second day more tweak for more user friendly interfaces

then you start adding all the little flowers and crap to make it perfect.


Give it some time to get the frosting just right...

I suspect you can setup & run a forum any way you'd like, but I appreciate that the iboats tech & mod teams do such a great job affording us this FREE forum. It's the most active, helpful & well managed/maintained forum of the MANY I frequent..

Besides, change is good

Let the update & changes finish, then make suggestions for improvement. It seems every few hours when I look in on the resto forum, something new is added or something has been changed.

Until the update's done, I'm just keeping track of things I think could be improved or added. Some have already been done, in the hours or days after I thought an improvement could be made.

As it's a free site, I strongly urge you to reconsider this thread's title... But just as your title & post are, this ^^^ is all just 1 man's opinion. I'm ok if we agree to disagree. :watermelon:

Have a great upgraded day

Kick back, it's almost a long holiday weekend :couch2:

Actually ever single time I log in today, I see things coming back and working better, I am surprised, you guys all own boats, reason, owning a boat takes patience, and some seem to be sorely lacking in that department!

Will do.Hang in there that is. Just a believer in simple is better,and whats simpler than what you already know.Also Im a curmudgeon(if you ask the admiral),and a creature of routine so maybe its just my problem.Just seeing if anybody else feels like they have a friend in rehab with all the changes.

yep, I understand ^^^, for me, even the buggy early version of the new site a couple days ago was enough to feed the addiction & help me get over the DT's of the forum being down for so long :watermelon:

Not perfect, but there is likely a swarm of tech minions, yeah, ok, maybe it is just Toneees behind the curtain, no matter. Even since I posted my comment above, I've noticed stuff has changed, again. Given the forums size (posts per day & thread counts) I suspect it's a complete PITA to keep it running as smooth as it does.

I am more & more curmudgeon like almost daily :cold:

I seem to remember reading somewhere over the last few days that a huge factor in the upgrade was to protect the host, iboats.com, and improve the overall security of the forum's servers. So, yeah, protecting our generous host, I'm onboard with that.... Like I said, they graciously sponsor this free site.

Although simple can be good, I wholly agree & often use the K.I.S.S. axiom, it can also just be simple, not necessarily better. Still got an AM only radio (or an audio delete plate) in your crank start car? :laugh:

Send me a pix of you in 4ft of snow or 100F+ heat cranking that puppy over & jumping in for a ride to work and I'll GLADLY come back & post a retraction for the simple is just simple comment. Deal?

BTW: Nice change of title, probably much more accurate description of your opinion, although you may FEEL like the other was......

Again, have a great long holiday weekend
