Try it out. If you like it we will switch, if not, we will roll back to the old version. Anything posted between 3:00 AM and 8:00 am this mornign will have to be reposted. This forum has board mail, photo albums, a better upload component, and many other features. There is downside:

-You will have to recreate any signatures.
-All attached images in old posts will no longer appear in those posts. However, the Images still exist and I can make them accessible.

Let's hear some feedback.

Zach

Zach:

Is there any way to turn on threading? I miss the threaded view from two rev's ago like you see on some other boards.

ps. I like the notification feature.

yes there are 3 types of views you can use, you can also set your threading preference in your profile. Look on this page, the drop-down box just above all the posts.

Wondering if you plan on putting the avatar image on the users posts like on icefishingFirst or just leave it on the profile page?

I like the new features. I have been wondering if and when you would be switching. Must have been a bunch of work.

Keep up the good work Zach and Steve!
I check this place almost as much as my e-mail.

I have been using the IcefishingFIRST site messageboard since the launch, and like the new format quite a bit. The photo album section is something our visitors have asked for; it is easy to use.

Nice work, Zach!

Looks good to me. However, being as dumb as a post as far as computers go, I will need some help figuring out how to navigate around here now. I think I found out how to reset my profile but only time will tell. I do think that the new format will be great. Thanks Zach, I know that this is a lot of work, even though I know not one thing about it.

I hate it. First thing I noticed when I got here was how small the font was so I went and checked my options but there on the largest setting.

Then when I am on this tread the persons names uses almost 1/3 of the screen and the rest for the messages.

Maybe I need to play with the settings but I just got here and already ahve a headache.

Like the photo album.

Do not like the small fonts and way the screen looks...not sure if this can be changed. This makes my eyes hurt..which honestly is why I rarely look at icefirst. Too hard on us old guys..

Bring back the smiley faces.

Thanks for the input.

What print was larger, this print is the same size as the last one? Let me know so I can adjust it.

OK I see what your saying I'll try to mimic the font size on the small stuff from the old board, give me a few minutes to make it so.

OK, just made some changes, and will continue to as we go along. I am looking at the old forum and the new forum, trying to emulate the old one as much as possible. It is so close that sometimes I have to scroll up to see what one I am on, they are almost exactly the same right down to font sizes and color schemes. If you have any specific changes you would like to see with font size etc let me know here and I will try to implement them.

Do you mean in the area which tells you who is online? You may have yourself set as "hidden" in your profile. Click control panel and you can change the setting there.

Zach is there anyway to make the user names darker, it seems that they blend in to much, either that or I need glasses.
