It seems that most of you are liking it as I haven't heard anything negative about it. I still want to post this up as I am curious to see what you all think. Are you missing the older vb version? This one to hard to figure out? Let me know.

All around good. However, I am having problems attaching photos directly from my phone. Usually I get a message that says &unable t upload file larger than 1MB". Prior to the upgrade I was able to upload straight from my phone instantly.

I still like the old one much better. Same issue with larger photos that Matt is having- size error. Also, with old one, the new posts page used to clear itself after it was read and closed out. Now when I return, there's still like 7 pages of "new posts". I have to manually click "mark all as read". Unless there is a fix for that I'm missing- I haven't found it.

Everything on the old just was more compact and user friendly imo. I've been visiting much less since the change, kind of weeding myself away, sorry to say.

Using a third party hosting site such as imgur or photobucket will always yield better picture results as they're designed to exclusively handle that.

Anyone that is planning on leaving; we realize the site is quite a change and isn't perfect yet but we're working on and learning about the site daily and we ask that you stay patient with us. Shaggy has been able to quickly make changes to problems brought to our attention and I am positive going forward will learn of more ways to improve what we already have.

This. Otherwise no complaints-like the new layout :Handshake:

Does the new software have any affect on Tapatalk? Now I'm not able to see any pictures in posts.

Old software is outdated and this can do many functions on the front and back ends that the old software could not.

I do not use Tapatalk but many do and have not complained. Maybe @jdpber or @NathanJax could help answer this.

I wouldn't leave this site for anything. However I do have to question the rationale of any club that would have me as a member....

We do not want to see anyone leave and we will gladly accept you, even with your affection for eggs (and, I think, potatoes).

I'll never leave either as this forum is an invaluable vault of info. Just feels like a hot ass girlfriend left me cause I'm cheating on her with some *****. Wish she'd take me back... :hump:

Tap is a ok and it's good now. It has taken a coupl of days to get recent and participated thread count rebooted. I have been using the mobile a lot as it is superior to the past mobile setup.

Don't see how it's a big deal about new posts. It tells you they are old posts from the last visit. I like it cause I don't always get to look at everything every time. So I can still look at stuff I missed the last time if I want.
