Thanks to Sean.
All is as before, just a fresh look!

Looks good, and not so much of a change that it's confusing- or hard to find things. Thanks Sean! (and Jerry)

Not sure I like it. But if it posts my comments without me having to do everything twice, that will be an improvement.

It looks great and seems faster!

I love the new look too, now that I know my computer isn't going all "crashy" on me! The new look scared me a bit, thought it was a technical problem! Thanks Sean and Jerry!

Just as long as you don't go all facebook on us and keep changing things around!

Whoa! Had to click the renew button a couple of times just to make sure I didn't do something to the page!! You know the saying of old dogs? Well this is growing on me as I write....Great change. Thank you Sean!

I was only present for a few chats but I enjoyed it.

Julles · « **Reply #16 on:** May 22, 2012, 08:31:36 PM »

Still not sure I like it.

Well I hope you get used to it, we had to upgrade as the old style was no longer supported and we needed features that will not be updated for the old style we had. We did not change for the sake of change but because we had no other choice in the short term. I have been busting my arse the last few days to make the forum look and feel as close to what we had so folk like yourself wouldn't feel displaced.

From my perspective, I am not sure I like your neutral comment for a second time... If you plan to stick around, I suggest you begin to like the new look. I know the majority of our membership is just happy to have a long standing forum to call home. The subtle colour tweaks and graphics are all 100% my work, so by not liking it you are personally insulting me. I wasn't expecting anyone to jump up and down with glee over the changes but your back handed comments are like a slap in the face.
Thanks, I feel like I wasted my time.

Sean, as a forum member that has been around for many years and seen many changes, this is the least obvious change I've ever encountered. As we get older, it is harder for some of us to 'change'.

Thanks for all your hard work. Actually, you did a great job.

Esther · « **Reply #19 on:** May 23, 2012, 05:22:54 AM »

Hey, don't let one or two neutral or negative comments color your day. There are many other positive ones.

Trouble is, when you put yourself out there, you are opening up yourself to an opinion by others, no matter what the topic. We all have them and some are more apt to express them than others. You know of people who would never give a negative opinion EVER and then some always have them and then some and in the middle.

When you have busted your butt and you as the expert know how much time it took and the expertise used, then pat yourself on the back knowing that 99% of us could never have done what you did!!! Thanks for everything.

Indiana Karen · « **Reply #20 on:** May 23, 2012, 06:23:36 AM »

I really can't tell that much difference. I'm just happy to be rid of that huge list of birthdays for members that didn't exist. Good job Sean.

You truly are appreciated.

Kittyzee · « **Reply #21 on:** May 23, 2012, 09:48:48 AM »

I love the new look and ease of moving around with the new site. I don't tell you nearly enough how much I appreciate what you do for us: I can't even tell you how many times a day I come here just to check in with people I don't really even know!

Thanks to you and your hard work, this change was just a 'blip' in the radar! I wish I knew half of what you do about computers and software!

Kat · « **Reply #22 on:** May 23, 2012, 06:07:20 PM »

Appreciate all the hard work & it looks nice.

Question--are we no longer able to modify our posts? Need to update my for sale items but can no longer find the "modify" button.

Thanks

Jerry · « **Reply #23 on:** May 23, 2012, 06:43:15 PM »

We can't expect everyone to love it. I think Van Gogh never sold a painting in his lifetime.
I notice a few tweaks Sean has added that make a few thing easier.
ie: banning a spammer for one, It can be a chore. Sometimes we get a dozen at once.
Hey, Sean to people like Louis Vouton pay these guys? and if so they are culpable.
Id love to sue the Bastards!

Hi Kat,

I need to go through the permissions, I knew there would be a few things to iron out. I will let you know when members have those permissions back. I need to sift through four membership groups and the permissions that go with them.

Cheers,
Sean

Hi Kat,

You should be able to modify your posts now.

Thank you Sean & all your hard work really is appreciated by many.

It looks lovely. As someone who took 100 hours to create an SMF forum a few years back, I know it isn't an easy task. Thanks much. Give yourself a pay raise.
