Complexity of new format.
I just looked at a post about a transmission stand. It had a link to two pictures. I looked at the first one, but could not get back to where I was to look at the second one without having to jump through all of the hoops to log back in again, then try to get the picture, which I finally did.
I am wondering why I have to sign in with my name and password several times a day? Each time I enter and want to read something. Also wonder why I cannot respond to the initial post, but have to scroll down and respond to the last post. By the time you go through through all of those maschinations the thread has completely turned to something else entirely. This format is certainly more complicated for us old farts. MY 2¢. Lawson |

Re: Complexity of new format.
i fully agree with you on all counts lawson ryan has made this just like the hamb when he could have made it a great site,,its very noticable how many hamb guys have raced over to the new barn also how many old barners are not on the new 1,the forum is dam hopeless you should be able to click on the subject then answer them under the original post& then the thread keeps going down but now you have to flick over to the pages & then go through that lot,,quite franky its bad news trev no smiles here

Re: Complexity of new format.
That was my thought. If you click on the picture once, it shows in a black outlined box, which below it, it should say previous or next, click that. If you double click the picture, it will open in a whole new window.

Re: Complexity of new format.
Guys, my take on the new site, you just need to spend the time here and look at all of the different options it has, it just takes some getting use to. If your really interested in being part of Ford Barn, you will want to figure it out, it is what it is. I think we all should be greatful that someone stepped up to take this site over, or we would all be looking at nothing right now. The average guy now seems to be able to post a picture here, this is going to come in handy, when your trying to get help from others, plus its pretty nice seeing all of the members cars. I am glad Ryan saved the ford barn, hell Shelly could have sold it to Japan......Ed

Re: Complexity of new format.
Change is not easy for some.
I am no different with things that I am not familar with. Some like change, some don't. For those who don't, options are to take the time to learn new things of how they work or ask questions. Lawson Cox - please if I can help with anything that makes it smoother for you - please send me a private message. As far as a new face ? - yep I am. I have helped Ryan for almost 10 years Moderatoe and deal with spam or move general or classifieds posts that maybe are in wrong sections so it looks cleaner and organized and also help anyone else that might have a question. I have had many Fords in my day as well as others - both stock and modified. Lawson Cox - please let me know if you have questions. More than happy to help and also in return learn from you if I have any ford questions I might need a answer to if you don't mind me bugging you a time or two.

In reality though, on threads that become large, the "Linear" or "Hybrid" display modes make the threads much easier to read and follow by allowing you to easily scan the replies and skip those that are lacking constructive information. You'll find that these two modes require far fewer mouse clicks than the "Threaded" mode. Give it a try before you give up on it. It's only "dam hopeless" if folks don't bother to put forth a valid effort to figure it out and seek help as to how it works, if needed. Then again, if you wish to be close-minded, you're probably better off just forgetting about the website.

The old version had the same problems with the threads getting totally off topic, turning in to pissing matches, or people having bad attitudes. Thinking that these issues are due to the new format(s) or Ryan's taking over the reins is false logic and untrue. If those are your reasons for giving up on the "new" Ford Barn, you should have given up on the "old" Ford Barn long ago.
