I do hope there will be a way to remove the picture names on the attachment preview pics. I did not see anything in the preferences yet. Also looks like I need a higher resolution pic for my 'avatar', or maybe not.
New format.

Looks like the collectors association site.
Ahhhhhh. it gives you an air of mystery.I do hope there will be a way to remove the picture names on the attachment preview pics. I did not see anything in the preferences yet. Also looks like I need a higher resolution pic for my 'avatar', or maybe not.
What would rburg say about this?
That's a test......sort of.

I must say that the speed of the forum is very impressive at this time.
Haven't "seen" Dick in years. Last I heard he was active on the Ruger Forum, but that was a long time ago.
I bet he would not like it, this change to the new format.
(He was like the main guy here at one time. I think I recall he was unhappy about losing his post count when the forum underwent some sort of earlier change way back when. He was a very prolific poster.)
He sure knew a lot about prewar S&W revos, too, which was my interest at the time. I learned a lot from him.

This is a much more modern platform. I'm on several forums and they all use this software.
Frankly, the old platform was antiquated, this is much overdue upgrade.

I'm going to be upgrading my computer in a couple days, they claim I will be able to simply swap everything right over, hop on top and go dog go. I'm trying to stay ahead of the curve and have been told as of mid year or so the old gear will not be supported. I figure this little change will do me good and give me something to constructively work at. I was just getting the hang of posting pictures on the old system and will see how smoothly this one operate. My red hot system I currently use operating with Intel Gen 7.

THIS REALLY SUCKS! PUT IT BACK LIKE IT WAS! 
I like it. I was promoted from "active member" to "well known member" in one day. I also received 9 "trophies" which I was most proud of but seem to have since disappeared. Joe
I could never attach photos to PMs or could never figure out how to do it so as I said previously I’m pleased with that. The transition seems to be going along promptly.
I too am a little frustrated scrolling through photos trying to find the right one to post. I keep selecting multiple photos I don’t want and have to deselect them individually. I’m trying to scroll with a light touch off to the right side of the screen but ….same way over at the Ruger Forum which uses this same format.
If someone has a tip or two would be most appreciated.

The change over was so smooth that I didn't notice it on my phone and it was only when I logged on using my laptop that it became clear.
Compared to the transitions on some other forums, this one was trouble free.

My biggest observation is the absence of advertising on the sides, top, and bottom, some of which would pop up while reading a thread.

I don't think I've ever seen a forum software change that was universally liked, but it won't take long to get used to it. Honestly, the old format wasn't all that great... we were just used to it.THIS REALLY SUCKS! PUT IT BACK LIKE IT WAS!

Gotta roll with the changes
I'm on FireFox, and that gets a message, "Invalid SSL Certificate" Error code 526.
I did try and use Edge to post a message to Administration, but it doesn't show. I personally hate M'Soft Edge, and I'm too old to try some other browser. Besides, Firefox has some of the best safest software around.
