Barry Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Sorry guys, we had a few issues piling up from the software being a little out of date so we went ahead and upgraded to the new IPB4 software! I know it is a bit different than the old software but it is safe, secure and should be a helluva lot faster! It might be a few days until I get all the old features working again! Post here if you notice anything missing that I didn't catch! 2 Quote Barry - Watt's Truck Center Parts Manager and BMT Webmaster...1-888-304-MACK Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/44173-bmt-forum-upgrade/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
41chevy Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Any way to check new content or personal contend like old site?

Barry Posted March 1, 2016 Author Share Posted March 1, 2016 I'm learning as well! This new software is kind of cool but it is a learning curve! Try UNREAD CONTENT top right...I see some other options once you click that...

Frenchy Mack Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Hello Barry and everybody. Its very hard for an French guy to understand all the subtleties of this new site.

HeavyGunner Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 How come I cannot attach pictures? Tried twice this morning the same way I've always done it with the same device and when I try to attach the photo and it tells me I can only post 5mb. One pic shouldn't be 5 mb.

Vladislav Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Looks like no less than 5 grades of gray are required. 10 would be better. I'm tying Carbon currently and it's feeling strange so far. And uncomfortabe. But two others are close to make me blind !! And please put "Vlad" in the place of my nick name or user name, just don't know how to call it right at the moment. Hope your headach with the site tuning up will decrease soon.

fxfymn Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Quote On the "Unread Content" page there is an edit button so content can be organized. Maybe this will help you out. Nothing on there seems to be the same as what I was used to using.. In the old format there was an ability to go directly to a point in any discussion where new content had been added after the first page was filled. Now I don't see any choice but to go to the last page and scroll down to the new content. Just slower and more awkward than the previous version. Having been involved in more than a few software "upgrades" at work I know how frustrating this can be. The vendor promises great things, then threatens to not support the existing product until they basically blackmail you into purchasing the new program. When you do you quickly find that it is less robust than the old product, but you are stuck with little choice but trying to make the best of a bad situation.

Barry Posted March 4, 2016 Author Share Posted March 4, 2016 I have the best luck using the UNREAD CONTENT link or the Activity button from up top. With the activity button, you can fine tune how the threads and posts are sorted and handled. It is different but you hit the nail on the head...if we would have gotten hacked on the old software, we would have had zero support due to the old software end of life!
