Why We CHANGED the Forum Software

As a moderator on another forum, thank you. New format is easier to use on my smart device. Can't stop notification on whats happened on forum emails however. Been through settings and can't make it stop.

I discovered I got a ton of notifications. Went back to my settings and found 2 sections related to emails.

First, under Settings/Account Details/Email Options (just below your email address). Uncheck the boxes.

Next under Preferences (you may already have been here). The email options are the same from the Accounts Detail page. Make sure they are still unchecked. Check/uncheck the rest as desired.

I could have sworn I had these disabled prior to the change over. With all those boxes unchecked, the flood has now stopped for me. I login here pretty much everyday so I'm fine with the online alerts.

Some of us never even noticed it!

I learned/coached by the best.

Actually, the REAL reason why Lee changed it is so he can provide a list of possible characters for "Grumpy Old Men - the series". Watch for it on the Cartoon Network.

The only thing I have found sub-optimal is that the old software bolded the new postings so I could follow strings more easily and disregard older postings. I don't see the here, and the last update description is not nearly as eye grabbing.

Getting more used to it each visit.

Are you using the DARK theme? It is "bolded" but the contrast of the blue on the dark background doesn't stand out very well. I've switched back and forth from light to dark. It's more apparent on light but it's a bit too harsh for me.

 

[Doug M.]

Yes. The light mode was really uncomfortable to me, such as you describe.

I just noticed that I can delete my own posts. Very interesting. Especially since I noticed it on some blank post I must have made by fat fingering. I sent it packing!

Keep up the good work Lee & MODS! This place is still my go-to hangout for all things S&W ... I check several sub-forums a few times a month, this is my second post with the new software. Looks good, and I'll have to learn the 'new' features .... or be a curmudgeonous Luddite set in the old world ways

We chose XenForo because it is very User friendly. I know we all hate change, but just stay calm and get to know it. You'll like it once you learn how easy it is to use. Also, most of the other gun forums are now using it, so you'll have the same experience on multiple forums that you use. It is particularly easy to post pics now!

Thanks Lee and mods, and apologies to Ridley Scott
