Barry Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Sorry guys! There are so many hackers out there anymore, we have to update the software monthly to keep a step ahead! This months update rendered the old themes outdated and vulnerable to attacks so I had to load up this new theme. Give it a try...it is really nice and has some customizable features too! 1 1 1 Quote Barry - Watt's Truck Center Parts Manager and BMT Webmaster...1-888-304-MACK Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/70551-the-new-format/#findComment-511566 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's easier and more user friendly Yes, the new theme is similar to the default one we were using but this one is custom made and kept updated! It has a lot of features that the old one didn't also, like the ability to change the nav menu. I figured you guys would like drop downs better than the old primary/secondary menu bars! If not, we can change it! There are light and dark versions and you can even change the header image if you like! One nice feature is larger post text for those of us with bad eyes, LOL! (me included!) This is all in the customizer button at the top right of your screen! It looks like an on/off switch beside the PM bubble icon.

Barry Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 IPB removed birthdays from the calendar...they might of taken them from the index page as well. I should be able to add a widget at the bottom of the index page. 1 Quote Barry - Watt's Truck Center Parts Manager and BMT Webmaster...1-888-304-MACK Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/70551-the-new-format/#findComment-511776 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mechohaulic Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 I have a question now that the birthday issue came up.. once you register , your on the list =understandable. i notice around '16-17 a lot of "birthdays" are log on /log off never to reappear or ask a question. pictures of younger woman. young age.. was there a time when this site was used as "a pick up location" ?? .i know many log on to ask a question : it's answered then they never show up again, I checked the birthday section regular specially when some one shows to be an old fart like me.

Onyx610 Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 What I would personally like to see would be a live chat/chat room. Would be good for when there’s down time and people could just shoot the shit or whatever there and not take over other peoples threads. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/70551-the-new-format/#findComment-511906 Share on other sites More sharing options...

doubleclutchinweasel Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Barry changed the "unread topics" line to red. Made it a lot easier for me to spot. Might consider doing something similar to the "hot topics" notification (see stars and circles below). I still have a hard time picking out the gray-on-gray shapes sometimes, under certain light. Maybe green or yellow for "new posts" and maybe red for the "hot topic-new posts"? What do you guys think? But, for the most part, I am really liking the new format. Kudos, Barry! 1 Quote "Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines."
