Weird format with TBN Forum

[Silvic]

I have not been on for about a week. I searched and have found nothing on the topic but I am not good at searching on TBN either. My question involves the following: TBN screen/desktop whatever you want to call it is REALLY differnet and hard to deal with. Is this a change that has been made or did something get screwed up in my computer that is causing the odd display. Not seing it with any other forums that I frequent, just here.

I couldn't see any text in Kenny,s post above, only the quote.
They have a new format here and it's a little different. There's a few bug to work out.

I don't see text in Kenny's reply either.

Here is a link to a thread that is helpful. It is not bad once you play with it for a bit.

Welcome back

Did you get anything done during the TBN downtime? Install a new septic? Wash your tractor? :)

Didn't have the text box! I had to clear cookies AND history! What a PITA

I was trying to post link to the News Forum, that's where all the threads about the changes are (and should be).

Uh oh, the only way I know how to "clear cookies" is to eat them all. (Confused emoji with a laughing face)
Or, I'm not a wiz on this stuff.

Yesterday I was trying to 'reply' to a thread, but was unsuccessful. I finally gave up thinking Old Man Syndrome had set in. Seems okay now though.

I have not been on TBN for a while, and yes it looks screwed up.
But then TBN has been going down hill for a while, the Mods mostly think they are god, and most of the great members have either died or quit the forum.

It is too bad, once it was an awesome site.........

It still is and always can be an awesome site. However, it can only be as good as you are willing to make it.

I don't know how I ("you") can make it better, but it has a loooooooong way to go, and I am gettin old fast while watin!

 

[lilranch2001]

I guess I do not have the same amount of energy to overlook the present conditions of the site as you may have

Correction, it can only be as good as we make it. Members create the content and make it a awesome site. The format changes will become easier, but the reason I hang out here is the great people like yourself!

Well thank you to whoever moved my post to the correct location/sub-forum. I put it where I did as I could not find a good place for it. I could not even find this sub forum when I went looking to make the original post.
Having now found the location and the setup I see that it is not my computer (thank goodness) but a change to the forum. I hope that it gets worked out as it not user friendly at all anymore and the layout is not easy to peruse and digest what I see. Probably a similar issue with why I read hard copy books because reading them electronically just does not come natural because the aspect of the displayed info is just not normal/natural.
I know that it is not up for a vote but please bring back the old format this just sucks.

I still can't get it how people say this is so much different from the old forum.

Muhammad and Ibrahim tried so hard and, honestly, did a great job on keeping this new forum so similar to the old one.

I've been on other forums where they changed to a new format too but didn't take the time to even try to make it similar to the old one. TBN is not the case.

The layout is pretty much the same as the old on. Muhammad even changed the name of My Home (Was called Watched before) back to My home to reduce the confusion on some members.

I can't see where the forum is so screwed up or the layout is completely messed up.

Perhaps the view is different from so far across the Atlantic.

I agree!

The main thing is that there are many different ways to use the forum so to different users, certain features or links were more important or more used than to others. While one user would just check today's posts, others relied on my home, and others might have had certain landing pages bookmarked that have moved or changed a bit.

This one left me scratching my head, also. Granted the font makes me think of cartoon letters yet that seems to be the trend on computers in general. In time I will get used to it. There are a few changes which seem to be less user friendly, but at least they are trying to adjust based on user requests.
I don't like change either, but until last week things hadn't changed since I joined 2 or more years ago.

I like the new version .

The font did not change on my computer with W10 and Chrome.

I use My Home and New posts to keep up with what is going on here on TBN.

 

[Rustyiron]

I imagine that beyond a few "bugs", that any problems are mostly mine. I didn't grow up with a keyboard and simply don't think like a computer wants me to.
This and other forums are pretty much the extent of my computer needs and skills. Hell I only got a "smartphone" a little over a year ago.

Hate to break it to you but you joined 16 years ago.
