capngrog Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Is it just me, or has my favorite Forum been given a new look. It's too early here for me to be drinking, so I'm thinking that the "new look" is real. It's very colorful. Cheers, Grog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 It's different. Looks to be as user friendly as before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JACK M Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 I noticed as well. Now it says there has been a 'reaction' to a post. So one must open the reaction to see if its a like or a quote. AND I had to re sign in. Almost forgot my password. Still works for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Moskowitz Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Yes, our forum software was just upgraded again. We appreciate that the service we use continues to refine, increase security and try to make forums work easier. Not everyone will like it but when an upgrade is released we have to use it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vermontboy Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 I am getting a message that the log-in drop down is NOT secure. Also just got the message when I requested a new password link. Was this ever a secure connection or is it just part or the new software pak. It showed not secure on both Firefox and Chrome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
padgett Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 (edited) Many of the buttons have disappeared for IE11 but the baloon appears when I mouseover. The "Go to first unread"" box is like that. I found changing the .SIG very difficult because the "delete image" box was not there. Finally had to use FireFox.

Doug Novak Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 I resigned in ......all set to continue. I like this, seems easier on the eyes. Going to see if I can drag a photo in. Something to cool us off from the Heat Wave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't agree to their "terms" to test but basically anything with a Login/Password that doesn't use https is going to start generating "warnings". AACA is one that doesn't.

ghostymosty Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 If I mouse over the black X in the box on the right of the screen I get the 'like' pop up with 4 more black X's in boxes to the left of it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEarl Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Same here but I have a ? instead of an X. Then when clicked, four different shaped empty boxes appear. But then when I click the X next to those boxes a pop up appears with choices of Like, Thanks, HaHa, Confused and Sad. Apparently there are some bugs which hopefully will get worked out. Personally, my thoughts are I don't need a drop down of responses , I am not so lazy that I can't type my own and hopefully this can be changed back to the old simple Like box. I am on an iPad (with Safari), so may be different on a puter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stakeside Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Thanks for your maintaining this site. I noticed the line provided for navigating pages that is above the advertizing appears smaller. I use I-phone and I-pad and my stubbly old fingers hit the advertising and not the navigation line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
padgett Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 OK here is an example - the box is invisible but the balloon appears when I position the mouse where the box would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a touch screen + keyboard tablet using IE there's a horizontal line which, when touched, gives me a horizontal box. And it says someone (or I) "reacted" to a post. It USED to be one-touch, and I want it back! Like MrEarl, I only need 'like' -- although the only other option I might use would be "Bullfeathers!" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEarl Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Grimy, Thanks, HaHa, and Like but still "Confused" I'm sure it will all be fine once the kinks are worked out or I figure out what upgrade I may need on my iPad to make it friendly. "Bullfeathers" ho ho, tha's funny ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with Mr. Earl. Keep it simple, without the extra steps. Offer the "like" button if you will, but please: Not the other types of "reactions." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cahartley Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 I like the reaction choices. Some posts are comical and the HA HA choice is more fitting than a LIKE. There is a glitch in that the reaction emoticons do not display....... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am on an iPad (with Safari), so may be different on a puter. Latest Safari on latest OS X doesn't have the icons for 'reaction' either.... just '?' and empty boxes. As such, it is impossible to tell what reaction someone had. Other than that, it seems fast and the new look is clean. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank DuVal Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Using Windows 7 computer. All I get is Li next to some blob of grayed out ink. When I mouse over it, I get 4 squares with a diagonal line, no emotocons or what ever the designer though was there. Please a simple Like box! Although adding the Bullfeathers is a good idea too! And the whole "xxx Reacted to this post" is not useful at all. Reacted how? I've got to go to another page to see if xxx liked the post or thought is was funny or what were those other two choices anyway.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Skyking Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 I've noticed the heavy black line is missing that let you know where on the post you left off. That was an excellent feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
padgett Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Just noticed everything is there with FireFox, suspect Microsoft did something with the last "update" to IE11 possibly to push people to Edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Clearing the browser cache might cure some of the problems people are having with the new forum upgrade. Hold down the "Ctrl" button and press the" F5" button at the same time. I don't like the reaction choices. Too much like Facebook. Keep it simple and go back to a single Like button. Also need to put back the post numbers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
