Forum Major Upgrade

[GeoffM]

I like what I see so far! Thanks Steve!

[Solex68]

Yes. It looks better than the older version on an Android. Looks fine on iPad and Android tablet as well.
I do see the and sign looks weird from Windows. the character when pressing shift seven looks like this:

but I did not see anything else. Maybe that is British English

[Natenate4s]

I like it!

[krismon]

It looks great. I hope it wasn't too much of a headache for you.

It was not as bad as I thought it was going to be. I did however start getting numerous spammers signing up. I implemented a pretty cool extension CAPTCHA that should put an end to that. No more having to enter Datsun Sports which some folks got a little upset about. Now new registrations have to solve a three piece puzzle. Pretty slick and it should keep the bots away. I love this new software for managing things. So much easier than before. I really like it.

Steve,
Thanks for the hard work.
My honest 2 cents:

For some reason it looks more crowded. Maybe I just need to get used to it!

I noticed that pictures are also larger/fixed with no pop-ups, or is that just my browser?

[S Allen]

Yeah, will take a bit to get used to. As to the pictures auto-resizing I need to work on that. This is a totally different style than what the old board had. I am going to try to tweak it a bit when I have the time.

[carlkaty]

Not in the right topic, but, PayPal sent. Thanks Steve. Thanks for a great site.
Thanks also to your helpers, gnomes? Elves?

[S Allen]

So any one whom does not like the new format has options. I have installed a few different styles other than the prosilver style. There is a quick change style drop down where you can select a style to your liking. Pretty cool new feature that was not available in the older version. Aluminoid gets rid of a lot of the busyness. You might prefer it Alvin. Still looking for a style with a white background for Curtis. Found one for you Curtis --Modern-Silver.. For those of you who preferred the old style someone had made a subsilver2 version. So, think that is a enough choices to keep most everyone happy.

You can also change this in the user control panel if you like.

Also, the old Photo Gallery's got whacked. Many of you had albums in them. To make it easier as it is no longer bridged to the forum if you want a personal gallery created I will set you up using your forum handle and will PM you the password. I do have all of the old pictures so if you are looking for something let me know. I am not going to have registration enabled as the spam bots already found it and are driving me nuts. Gallery is for forum members only any ways!!

Other than that--enjoy. Thanks.

Oh Wow, Subsilver2 is like slipping on a favorite sweat shirt!

[Linda]

Yes certain styles look better on mobile. Subsilver2 is my fav. But on the laptop, most styles are fine. I didn't like the Prosilver on the Android.
Nice work, Steve!
