Did you find your WTB ad??

I use it on my phone almost exclusively. It was kind of a pain in the past because all of the text would not fit my screen, even when I went landscape mode…I would have to scroll back and forth as I read to see everything. With the new format, to me anyway, it’s easier on the eyes and fits the screen properly. I also like the photo posting feature; way easier than the old way and you don’t need a hosting app to post full size pictures. When you go to a previously viewed thread, it goes right to the first unread post. I’m learning more as I navigate around it, but I’m definitely in the “like it better” column.
One thing I have noticed is there is no “preview post” option, which I relied heavily on because I hate making misteaks
But at first, I definitely said “what the heck”, but that was after the forum came back and the dreaded “404 not found” went away. I think we all collectively breathed a sigh of relief when that happened.
The deed is done.
"Preview" is in the upper right of the posting box:I use it on my phone almost exclusively.

I will need some help trying to find a few things but will wait a few weeks until everything is uploaded. I was one of the few who used the light blue screen and I now enjoy the white as it's easier to read for me.
I am hoping we still have our saved subscriptions.

I'm liking it a lot. Looking forward to the completed product. Keep going!

Wow...leave for a few days and come back to see the site revamped and redecorated. I love it! Works like most of the other gun forums now, making it it easier (for me) to navigate. For you longtimers, it'll take a bit more getting use to, I'm sure. But...it's good! Nice update.
Using the dark mode, I find this update to be an upgrade and like it much better. Especially, as someone stated earlier, without that "carnival" appearance with all the ridiculous ads taking up much of the screen.

Chose there, and be patient, it takes time for the site to update.
Whoever is behind this new forum format I say AWESOME!!
I’ve been actively on internet forums since 1999.
I’ve also been employed by internet website designers (Google).
This new format is THE BEST I’ve ever been on.
The speed of the migration has been incredible.
Congratulations and THANK YOU to all those involved!

I was wondering when the forum would finally transition into the 21st century. Good job.
I preferred the old format if for no other reasons that it listed more items as NEW rather than scrolling down constantly. I suppose I will get used to it and I am an old fart resistant to change in any case.
This is the tried-and-true platform and interface used by several popular forums I'm in, for example AccurateShooter. There may be some settings I'd like changed *, but it feels natural and familiar. Try running a forum yourself, smacking into the security and admin issues, before pleading for a return to the old format. I'm sure there were compelling reasons it had to change.

Great improvement! Works better on laptop and on phone, easier to read, larger fonts on laptop. The previous format was badly outdated. Thanks for a great change to a better format.
The only change I'd like is to re-do the artwork at the top of the forum. It's too dark and almost impossible to read with the high contract of the white background next to it. That shouldn't be hard - just lighten up the background and keep the contrast of the black letters.
