Popular Post Mcrafty1 Posted March 9, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted March 9, 2016 I hate it.....there, I said it. But please don't mistake my dislike of the format as being ungrateful for it's existence because I do realize that some unselfish people are devoting their time solely for our pleasure and for that I am grateful. I just don't happen to find it as user friendly as I would like. 6 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/44280-my-opinion-about-this-new-format/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freightrain Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 The overall function is fine(bit quicker then before). I'm not a fan of the bold red/black artwork....I like things a bit more subtle. But, I'm just glad it is here and won't complain a bit. I'll even say THANKS again to Barry for giving us a place to come to. EDIT....go to the very, very bottom left corner of the page and find the THEME button. You can change the color format. I put mine to SHIFT and I like it. Very much easier on the eyes with the blue/grey colors. 2 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

I actually like change.....when it's for the better, I find this format unusually hard to find my way around, I suppose I'll get beside it eventually. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/44280-my-opinion-about-this-new-format/#findComment-327011 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 I'm not sure how the new format is hard to navigate...it actually became a little more simplified from the old version. There are now less buttons and links to navigate. Someone with little computer experience can literally use the 'Unread Content link' and never have to get too advanced. Advanced users will find a lot of cool features and adjustable content streams to fine tune what they are looking for. BMT has something for everyone at every skill level. I liked IPB software because it is scalable like that. Give it a chance and in a few weeks it will be second nature for you! Try the different themes also!

Bigdogtrucker Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 DEFINITELY try all the themes and color combos until you find what you like, it also changes the layout a little. I hated it also until I played with it a bit Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/44280-my-opinion-about-this-new-format/#findComment-327017 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmyb Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Still won't resize on a mobile but is easy to use once zoomed in. I like that if I post a YouTube link, it will put the actual video on not just the link. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/44280-my-opinion-about-this-new-format/#findComment-327085 Share on other sites More sharing options...
