AZB755V8 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 I am on the third computer and thought it was me or my connection. What the Hell Happend? It's enough to make a old guy go and drink or think alzheimer's is setting in. I bet the Chinese have something to do with this... or Barry changed things and forgot to tell us all...

Popular Post Mack58B42 Posted March 1, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted March 1, 2016 Took me by surprise, too when I first went to the site, and it was even worse that I was getting a message saying that the link was no good and that it couldn't find the page I had been on. I thought the whole site was gone! But after logging back in and poking around, it's definitely a different look, but most of the features that were there before are still here, some just in slightly different places. Barry noted that not all the features and functions carried over, but that he's working on those, so hopefully soon that stuff will be fixed, and we'll have gotten used to the new look, and all us old Swamp Yankee types that are afraid of change will be able to crawl out from our hiding places and re-engage :-) 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/44174-wtf/#findComment-326126 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Barry Posted March 1, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted March 1, 2016 Sorry guys...didn't have any time for warnings, we had a potential hack and I couldn't gett he code out without upgrading to the latest forum software. I tried to hold out as long as I could but this change was inevitable! Post pics and signatures should come back soon...the forum is actually still updating in the background. It will take a little while so it doesn't crash the server. Don't worry, we will get through this, LOL!

Change is not good most of the time..., ever tried to remember where you put your keys if they are not in the same spot or not take a dump on the same old seat, it's just wrong.

j hancock Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 I am finding that most functions work the same as before. The "look" need some of the traditional BMT touch and that can be tuned over time. I liked having the bottom of the forum page show who is on and who has been on. The new setup displaying 83 different guests doesn't make any sense to me.
