The Ford Barn

Dobie Gillis · 05-07-2014, 07:45 AM

Anybody else unable to get on the Hokey Ass Message Board? When I go to the site it says it's down for "the full custom treatment". Been like that for about 2 days now. What up?

super flat · 05-07-2014, 08:23 AM

Same here, maintenance? Gary

34pickup · 05-07-2014, 08:26 AM

Ryan is doing a complete revamp of the site. It will be totally different. Its only been down since last night so you may have other problems if you haven't been able to get on in two days.

Dobie Gillis · 05-07-2014, 09:12 AM

IC. Thx guys. It just seems like 2 days. I guess I'm a HAMB addict and I'm jonesing...

gwhite · 05-07-2014, 10:38 AM

Yup, Ryan and "The German" took it down yesterday morning. You can get a sneak peek at the new 'clean' format by taking a look at the main page http://www.jalopyjournal.com/

I'm sure Ryan's been going nonstop for several days to get it done...will be worth the wait!

I'm sure it's up,there is a high percentage of Hambers that are a member of both sites.

Interestingly enough I ran across this post by Ryan,,he had just finished up the brand new 6.0 update.HRP

The H.A.M.B. Version 6.0

Posted by Ryan on January 23, 2006

THE NEW HAMB....

It’s up and running after a long weekend of upgrading. You will notice some very subtle differences, but nothing too crazy as we didn’t want you guys to suffer through learning a new interface. Although we still have lots of little chores to finish up and polish here and there, we are pretty happy with our work. Enjoy it fellas…

Dobie Gillis · 05-11-2014, 07:43 PM

Ryan, where/how do we find our old social groups?

SquireDon · 05-12-2014, 12:07 PM

with the HAMB down, people should be getting more done on their projects!

34pickup · 05-12-2014, 05:39 PM

I think its back!!

Ole Don · 05-13-2014, 10:20 AM

I walked out the pickup the newspaper this AM. Up in the sky. I heard a long SQUEEEEEEK! THUMP. Like the sound of an axle thumping back into a hole. Then I found out it the the world getting straight on its axis, the HAMB is UP and RUNNING. All is right in the world again!

How do you get on the 52-59 social group. It seems I am denied access now.

jsprengeler · 05-13-2014, 06:46 PM

Ditto. Where is the 52-59 ford social group?

rick55 · 05-13-2014, 09:33 PM

I am able to find my social groups under my profile. It lists the group's I subscribe to but denies me access to them.
Let's hope they do not "update?" this site.

I moderate and founded that Group,the word is the Social Groups are due to be back on line around Friday if all goes well. Possibly sooner or later

it's driving me nuts too

try every day and keep your fingers crossed.

Alaska Jim · 05-14-2014, 01:46 AM

I think that I liked it better the way it was, maybe I will change my mind after using the new format for awhile.

RCM · 05-14-2014, 04:03 AM

I guess it will be just a matter of using the new forum and get use to the new format. It looks good though..

JeffB2 · 05-14-2014, 04:07 PM

They did a survey on clubhotrod.com and the HAMB a while back and the largest percentage of members were in the 60-69 year old age group so the large print is a plus

I'd agree with that. I'm 62 and have trifocals so can easily adjust & compensate for large or small type. I like the new HAMB format, much better to navigate for sure. Just takes some getting used to.

HOTRODPRIMER · 05-14-2014, 07:48 PM

I'm liking it a lot,and the bigger print is a plus for this old greybeard!

rick55 · 05-14-2014, 08:20 PM

I think I posted earlier that you can find your social groups by opening your profile and then scrolling down to "my social groups". They will then be listed, but if you are like me you will get a message to say you do not have permission to access this page, when you click on the group you want to visit.
It looks the Ford Barn it is for a while longer.

Rowdy · 05-14-2014, 10:20 PM

Lost, confused, but trying to adjust. Seems way to linked and formatted like the nose in everybodies business sites I try to avoid. Locked down the Privacy stuff as much as reasonable and proceeding cautiously. Rod

Fordfan · 05-19-2014, 02:53 AM

They will loose a lot of older members that struggle with using a computer. Just goes to show that nothing ever stays the same even if its good. I think its a huge backward move.

This is not my Group but a lot of folks are starting to hang out there: https://www.facebook.com/groups/193973717381378/

My only complaint is that Ryan listed to a few that wanted small font,,he dropped it two sizes.
