New web page

Post by Corsa bill »

Hi I'm try to use this new web site. So far I'm not that impressed. Seems to be a lot harder to use and how do I get to all the other forums?

The tapatalk plug in is not up yet, which is why you are having trouble. It will be fixed soon.

I really miss seeing the 20 ish items on a single "Portal" page vs. the 5 we get now...

Always has been a quick scan of the latest...

Otherwise, seems to be much snappier!

You should be seeing the new website on your desktop as well.
It won't look the same as tapatalk as they have there own way of visually presenting forums. The new forum software is more mobile friendly so the tapatalk app isn't as necessary anymore for mobile devices but tapatalk is a very nice way to view and keep up with forums so we will be keeping that as a choice.

The only good change is the change I MAKE!!!

I agree with Bob - The new limited posting on the Portal page is a PITA.

This is a free service so beggars can't be choosers.

I've been using it more now and is working fine. I guess you could tell that seeing how often I'm posting.
I love this forum.

IS there a way to change the look of the page? It was an option on the old page. Not a real big issue, just more familiar.

I like the look of the new site. Good job!

One question though: I'm not quite understanding how to work the PMs. Items sit in the "outbox" for hours or more and then magically move to the "sent" category. Is this normal? One PM has been sitting in the "outbox" for days. I found no instructions in the FAQs. (Sorry for the nubee question.

It gets put in the outbox until it's read. Then it gets moved to sent.
