    Is this the complaint post topic too. I get updating and all. but, why go from what looks great, to what looks cheap, and made for preschoolers. Seems that ALL, the car/truck forums I'm on have gone to this same look. to me its just, really cheesy. Although its purely a aesthetic visual one.

    Aren't most things though going this style with phones and such being the device of choice by many? Oh well moving on :)

    Is there any way we can make it keep us logged in between visits? And before anyone asks, yes i checked the keep me logged in part.

    What browser are you using? I think some folks say Chrome causes issues here. I had to clear my cache. Let mek now. Will check some stuff on this end.

    Can someone tell me what a Profile Post is and how/why it is different from a Forum Post?
    Yeah I think those need to go, profile posts. Spammers love them. basically members can just go to your profile page, and say for example "hey noticed you were wearing a pink tutu at the supermarket today, looked nice"

    Spammers like because they find a non-active use and post their site links on them for backlinks.

    I agree actually. Will widen the side as much as possible...
    From google, it appears you can disable the sidebar. There's a xenfero forum that popped up in the search and several folks wanted to do that.

    Since the phone guys don't see it, why make the desktop guys suffer?

    Most are trying to go to the 375 plus wide sidebar to try and cram the larger ads in, I tried to keep the site the same as much as possible. I think I can lessen it some more and widen the rest of the site for the more desktop based users

    Doesn't your desktop keyboard have some hot keys that take to a preset location on the web? I have one of my hot keys programmed to take me directly to the FORUMS page - press it and I am there.
    I'm sure if I had purchased a new keyboard in the last 5 years it might, but mine practically has Roman numerals when in NumLock mode. Desktop is readable with the darker text, and while the sidebar is annoying the site is usable. Thanks for all the hard work!
    On my phone and tablet, though, it's just a struggle to size, position and scroll through the posts. No drama, I have things to do during the day anyway.

    While that may be true. As said by many here.. even those using a mobile device are using the DESKTOP VIEW. i only use the desktop view, because the mobile view really looks cheap, and not full service. But yeah, moving on. The users dont have an opinion.

    Can't please everybody all the time.

    I find it disheartening that so many are so quick to turn their backs. There were numerous site complaints due to Vbulletin issues. A switch was made in order to solve them and changes have been happening at a surprisingly fast pace in order to address the concerns users have had with the new software. The users opinions have been heard and the sites owner has been on here responding and making every effort to remedy any negative feedback.

    Comments such as "user don't have an opinion" are unjustified.

    No disrespect. Younggun, my comment was in direct relation to texcross comment.. "oh well moving on". Kinda seemed like , my comment or opinion no matter how small or insignificant. Was a bother. Maybe i just read it the wrong way. But I've been here for a long time, through many changes. Ownership, board styles, servers,etc. I was just trying to ofter some user insight, like was welcomed in the past. Again, i apologise to all our members i may have offended..

    On TaT/ Android I used to be able to click on a user and see if they were a member/ mod/ forum supporter or whatever. Now that is not there.

    It was handy to have that info available mainly for non supporting commercial posts.

    One could also view their previous posts, threads started, etc..

    Helotes!
    Just wanted to throw out a 'Sierra Hotel' for the new forum. I am now able to log on and participate at work whereas the older version was blocked (probably due to the vulnerabilities associated with the old software).

    So, given that and the fact that we have a 'new posts' button, I'm good with the new look! ;)

    I just came here to complain about how I don't like the change either. My first time logging in now since whenever it happened. Looks pretty gay so far. I guess it was worse earlier though. Hopefully it will work itself out.
