Re: one problem with the new site
Frank, if the thread title is in BOLD it has changed since you last viewed it. If you then open it and click the "View first unread" icon it will take you to any additions since you last read it.
I think Ryan has also helped something else . I responded to a thread just a few minutes ago. After I responded the thread now on the screen shows a blue box with a white check mark over to the right side. This highlights all posts you responded to. Jim

Re: one problem with the new site
You guys are missing the convience of this site. Before it was "wear out the back button". Now the posts are all listed one after another on the intitial post. All the "changes" you are talking about are all changes that if you took the time to design a site, would be things you would want for convience, and speed of use.
Granted, yes, it is a change for some of you --- but with this site, it is like the caveman discovering fire --- you will be surprised what you will be able to do, once you understand what it can do for you............... Give it a chance --- there's still information to share --- |

If something on the forum behaves in a manner you don't like, ask; there may be a way to change it. If there's something you want to do, but don't know or can't figure out how to do it, ask; there's probably someone here who knows how. Also, check the FAQ and the "Are ya' Lost" page that Ryan compiled. They explain some of the features of the new forum software: https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/faq.ph...b3_board_usage https://www.fordbarn.com/are-ya-lost

Re: one problem with the new site
This site is great, you just have to get used to it. I think it is easier to use than the old one.

Re: one problem with the new site
The problem is that you have to read everything, you cannot respond to or read answers to sub posts.If you respond to a sub post it does not fall under it. If that makes any sense.

Re: one problem with the new site
Quote "I used to just occasionally lurk at the old barn because it was so cumbersome to navigate. But now I'm here every day. The difference to me is like night and day. And it appears to me that most of the HAMBers have looked it over and decided that they like the HAMB and have returned to it and most of the old barn guys have decided to learn and work with the new format and have stayed."
I don't care for the new format. Too hard to keep up with and respond to a specific question. I find that I am visiting less and less. My ¢. Lawson |

Re: one problem with the new site
Lawson, the best way to keep track of that is the User CP button right under the Ford barn logo. Once you get the option to subscribe to threads activated, you can keep track of every single thread you've posted on by clicking on that link from now to eternity. It's really simple. If you need help activating your subscriptions, shoot me an email with your phone number and I'll walk you through it. It's pretty simple. you'll be surprised at how simple and easy it is once you get this feature activated.
You've all helped out us younger generation folks for all these years at the 'barn. Let us return the favor.

How in the world could you think that the old FORDBARN was cumbersome ? It was simple as pie. MIKE |

Re: one problem with the new site
The old Ford Barn required 4900 mouse clicks to navigate/read through a discussion topic. That was cumbersome. Finding an old thread was also cumbersome once it fell off the main page.

Re: one problem with the new site
