Re: Complexity of new format.
I was a slow convert to these forums about 7 years ago. I also liked some of the old formats, but have found that the vBulletin style (like this forum) is pretty much the standard for all of the forums that are around today. Even though you could get used to the old Ford Barn, I found searching for information very difficult to do and I did a lot of it.
Anyway have patience, it will get easier for you and if you have questions please ask. |

Re: Complexity of new format.
Morning Lawson:
This is a Different format all together But I think Given a little time US OLD GUYS can see our way through and give the new guys some of our wealth of knowledge. If you know any old ford barners that are not here yet PLEASE get a hold of them and ask them to come on in. If you have Problems ,Just ask they ( THE NEW GUYS ) seen to want to help. JMO They know the Info we have to offer is imence (sp.)other wise they would not all be here.JMO again |

Too many here have their defensive's up and dislike the change in format,,I understand their apprehension,,new things generally present new challenges and the introduction to the NEW FORD BARN is completely foreign to most. I have been using the Ford Barn for a number of years,,but only looking at parts for sale and buying,,I never participated in the forums,,so with that said I must be an outsider to some of the long timer guys on the barn. I am also a member of the Hamb with the same user name and I have used this Quote as my signature for a long time,, "Tradition without intelligence is not worth having". T.S. Eliot To those that believe the Ford Barn is doomed and lost forever I offer another quote from a gentleman from our past,, ‘When one door closes, another opens. But we often look so regretfully upon the closed door that we don’t see the one which has opened for us.’ Alexander Graham Bell As for Mr. Cox,,I do hope he remains active and I look forward to reading anything he cares to post ,,I am not here to create any problems or bicker.I appreciate guys like Mr. Cox willing to share their knowledge,.HRP

Hey Lawson, Stick with it, you'll get it. I'm still figuring it out and enjoying it.

Re: Complexity of new format.
From reading this post it appears that many here are just searching for reasons to dislike the new format and not willing to try the different options that are now available. I find this format much easier to navigate without having to scroll forever to locate something posted just a few hours ago.
Keep trying the different options old timers, given the chance, I believe you will find one that you like.

Re: Complexity of new format.
If those who read this from the "Old Barn" feel uncomfotable with navigating, please reach out and private message me or Ryan with having any questions.
I will do the best I can to walk through a area that may be of challenge. Heck I don't know every system moderating tool I have at my hands but with time I dig into them. Half the fun is learning something new. Sometimes by posting frustrations of maybe be unsure of something or just not liking a new thing, you may get replies from people who try to help but....... because of using a certain program with comfort may come off as it's really easy. Let's face it, new things are not always easy and I will be the first to admit that for me, new things are not always easy. That being said, please any member that has some questions, please pirvate message me or Ryan. I do work during the day so please know I will answer when free time allows. To those who have been here for many moons, I hope I can reach out to you if I have some old Ford info needs. Fair enough ? After all, isn't that why we are all here to enjoy Old Fords and meet some new-old car people ? Hope so. Enjoy and thanks, Cob Moderator Last edited by Cob; 05-14-2010 at 08:56 AM. |

Re: Complexity of new format.
I will gladly navigate this forum for any of you "old farts" that care to come over and steer me thru an AV8 Roadster build.

Re: Complexity of new format.
And just to be clear, "old farts" was a quote from another post and was meant jokingly. No disrespect to anyone. It was meant as a funny way of saying that I wish I had as much mechaical know-how as I do computer know-how.
I know there is a lot of talent on this forum and I think we should all just be greatful that it still exists no matter the format. I wouldn't know where to begin if I didn't have access to all this information. Did you know that people used to build cars before the internet? Sounds crazy , right?Hahahaha. |

Re: Complexity of new format.
Lawson, you should join the social groups, ford 1 has a group, you could all meet and greet on that group and make your own micro environment there, a rest pit for the weary, you can have private conversations with friends and all kinds of stuff, there is a lot more to this thing, you just have to figure out how to use it the way you want it to work for you instead of letting it work you. hang in there buddy, Im dumb as a stone on these "puters but Im gettin it.
