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
New format.
- Thread starter dave1918a2
- Start date
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.
Wait until you get hit with a Canadian tariff then you will really get madTHIS REALLY SUCKS! PUT IT BACK LIKE IT WAS!
This format is so much better then the old!

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.

How did you just post this?
Sign out, delete all cookies and delete your tab to this forum. Now type in smith wesson forum in the search. should get you here then make a new book mark or tab.
Change is good!
If I were King, I would make one demand...launch in dark mode for those like me that don't stay logged in. Unless I'm missing something, it launches in the blinding white screen and no setting will change that. Again, this is when you don't stay logged in. Something that's real nice is that when you quote someone and want to delete some of the text, you don't have to click in between the special characters to get at the text. Attaching files is easier...all in all a great improvement.
Yea, but don't you feel for the flies that were left homeless by that advancement?Change is good!
When I log back in it automatically launches into dark mode.
Change comes from within.
It will take time but eventually it will seem like its always been like this.
I'm liking it too. Been using the former format so long, it's a big change, a change long overdue. Thanks to the Big Gorilla.
Well I sorta agree with you....but now I can't find a way to post a new comment ... I only see that you can reply to an existing comment like I am doing here......
maybe this is where you make a new comment on an existing subject ????? we shall see.
Well I be damn....that worked.....
Folks on other forums always called us THE BIG BLUE FORUM............And everyone knew what they were talking about..........Guess now we're just another kernel on the cob.........
We will still be Big Blue because in dark mode blue is the predominant color.

Like every thing associated with technology it takes a while to find your way around, but after a short exposure to the new, it all becomes second nature. Personally, I like a bit of change, it keeps the old brain-box functioning, which for us old timer's is important. So for me it's 
now I have to start all over again, to walk......... bummer.
It's gonna be better than the old one. Lots of features I like here. It's also nice not to be limited to a "like". Thanks to all the techheads who spent so much time getting things normalized!
It's going 6o take some getting used to. I'm already more comfortable with it than I was at first. I have some beefs (like fixing my thumbnail), but I will probably find some improvements, too. I'll give it a couple of weeks and check my progress.
Can't complain till I use it a while. Just pretending it's a new forum. New stuff always seems odd for a while. Like a semi-auto after 15 years shooting a revolver !!!
