CHAT So, 15 months into our new software, your thoughts

[Dennis Olson]

Here we are, 15 months into the new software. I’m very interested in your thoughts on it as opposed to our old vb software. Pro or con, I want to hear it.

 

[steve graham]

Personally, I've had no problems and I just really like it.......it's so easy to navigate, even for dummies like me....lol......I can't say anything bad about it........all good on my end!

 

[FaithfulSkeptic]

It's working great. Can't complain about anything.

It's the most easy-on-the-eyes color scheme I've ever seen on a forum.

 

[SteveReloaded]

Smooth sailing and no issues. And, as a side note, has it really been that long?

 

[Hognutz]

I like how it doesn’t lag like the old stuff...

 

[Fairwillows]

I've had no problems. All good, in my opinion. In fact I just now learned how to add media....yeah, I'mma little slow!

 

[Hfcomms]

Love it and for most of us seamless transition.

 

[dawgofwar10]

Good choice Dennis, very easy to navigate.. And you thought you would be a Menace with the upgrade..

 

[Signwatcher]

I HATED to have to change over, but the adjustment wasn't too bad.

I like it better than the old format. Smooth program. I give it two thumbs up!!

 

[Blacknarwhal]

Absolutely aces. It's run through some incredible conditions. Anything that survived the frenzy of last November HAS to be good stuff, and this certainly did that.

Love how it automatically posts the pictures in articles, for the most part. Used to be you'd have to put all that in manually. It seems to choke on tweets, but don't we all?

 

[TheSearcher]

Mucho Gusto, Hefe.

 

[Intestinal Fortitude]

no issues
seems pretty smooth and solid

 

[lonestar09]

More mobile friendly than previous software.

 

[nomifyle]

I hated the change, but once the color thing was resolved I've hand no issues except I still want my bombs.

God is good all the time

All is ok but, the old software used to highlight threads you had either clicked on or posted to. that was good when you just wanted to quickly see responses.

 

[alchemike]

Excellent upgrade.

 

[Blue 5]

I haven't had any problems with the new format, so I'd say it's great so far. I don't post much but when I did that seemed to be easier on the new system. Quoting text for replies seems much simpler as well.

I'd say the new and improved version is a keeper.

only occasional issues:
Photo I have copied from an article to transfer is too large
Only 10 images can be posted to one post, so article must be split up
Magazine length articles (Revolver, Zero Hedge, Federalist) must be split into different posts.
There is also some symbol that I might post that seems to call up the stock emogi list
Once in a while, something will post with random strike throughs

Really is nice software, boss.

 

[tencup]

A+

 

[JF&P]

I use the "TB2K Dark" color mode and its really easy on my old eyes....plus I use the "like/dislike" system all the time which tells me that many of us are on the same page in our world views.

Great software Dennis...You Did GOOD!!!!

 

[Thunderbird]

Good Good.

 

[Capt. Eddie]

Love it. I've gotten so used to it it's hard to remember the VB version. Great work Dennis and everyone else who made it happen.

 

[anney]

I love it. Easy to navigate and use. Thanks Dennis!

 

[Henry Bowman]

A+++

works great

 

[juco]

All is well! Good job, boss man.

 

[Jeff B.]

I’m with the gang here... all good, I do like the mobile aspect very much!

Jeff B.

 

[mechanic 217]

All good no gripes , good job Boss.

 

[agmfan3]

I like it. Much better.

 

[thompson]

Lots to love and no complaints!

 

[hiwall]

Way better. You did great!

 

[Macgyver]

I like it but it still has not curred this rash.

 

[greysage]

It's all good. Bombs?

 

[teedee]

works great, no problems.

 

[Old Greek]

very nice !!

 

[somewherepress]

It works great!

 

[desert_fox]

Everything is good, I just wish I could gif my avatar.

 

[et2]

The only thing I’ve noticed is while in the dance hall over the weekends it does weird things, sometimes locks up. Doesn’t allow posting sings at times without refreshing.

Other than that no problems.

Yeah ... me too ... all these years looking for the famous “time bomb” ... no more ?

 

[Lone_Hawk]

I really like the new software. It has a lot of really good features, and it is fast. I only have one concern.

Reaction scores. I can't find what this really means. We "think" it is attached to the "like" function.

The problem I have is that if I give a thumbs down on a post, it is generally for the content. That content is generally not from the poster, but from the information source. But it appears that the thumb down will have a negative, yet undefined impact on the users reaction score. I don't want to give a negative to the user, but to the content.

It would really be nice if we knew what these functions really did.

 

[Faroe]

It's been THAT long??
Love it.

 

[9idrr]

Works well enough I can't remember the old system. Guess we're gonna keep it, huh?
