Barry

Ok guys, I have uploaded 2 new themes!  You can explore them by clicking the THEME link at the bottom of every forum page.  Give them a try and maybe click around a little...you might find some theme Easter Eggs! 

Still got some work to do on all 3 of our themes but they are ready to roll for the most part! 

I have added a couple darker themes to the theme changer located at the bottom left of every forum page!  Feel free to try them out and use the one you like!

Looking good Barry.   KInda threw me off the other day too when it was going through the change. 

Thanks for the update, I can now get on from home and it doesn't have fits.

Yes, that is another bonus...the old software had issues with the newest IE11 and Firefox.  The new software is cross browser compatible!

Recent activity is in the side bar...

If your username changed during the site upgrade, you can now change it back to your old display name or choose a new name!  Because this can confuse everyone, we have allowed only 1 name change so choose wisely!  If you make a mistake, PM me and I can fix it! 

Here is how to change your display name:

1. Click on your current display name on the top right side of the forum and then select ACCOUNT SETTINGS from the drop down menu.

2. Click on the tab that says DISPLAY NAME

3. Enter your desired username and click SAVE when your done!

I can't make it any easier, LOL!

The old IPB system used a crazy system of usernames AND display names.  When they went to version 4, they did away with the usernames and kept display names so if you had a different name before, PM me and I will change it for you!  The system used now is a lot better!  We also lost some stuff like the Dealer forum but I will have a sign up form for it again real soon!  It's a hurdle but things will be a lot better for the future!

I know...I used the logo in the header but that doesn't mean I like it...lol

how about an option to downsize things like sections you never look at so they do not pop up on the screen every time?

also an option to set page color and print color?

for some with vision issues the black with white print is like stabbing an ice pick in the eyeball even for the few seconds it takes to scroll past it.

 

never mind, i just found the post about themes and figured out how to change back to the one from yesterday.

There is also a darker theme coming soon!  It will be in the theme changer in a couple days...

OK guys, I have been working on a new theme that incorporates some Mack imagery and is a little more fetching than the dull IPB default theme.  Without further ado, I introduce you to...Flux! 

I still have some work to do but it should be functional!  I hope you guys like it...I've been working on it for 3 day!  I will also be releasing a darker version for those of you that don't like the fresh, bright look!  That theme will be coming in a few more days.

Sorry guys, I know you don't like change but this was needed in order to keep the forums safe from hackers!  Look at the bright side...we are now

Testing pics...

'Mark Read' is at the top right also...

Barry sold the site to  Volvo    [ Joke ] go easy !

Now come on...you know that would never happen!

I'm looking for a new theme now so it don't look Volvo'esque!

Forum Upgrade:

Pictures and signatures will be back soon...the forum is still updating in the background.

I'll be working on some better themes tomorrow!  Don't worry guys, we will get this bad boy back to normal soon! 

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...

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!

Thanks guys...I'm huddled indoors trying to stay warm!

Thanks guys! Appreciate the support! Makes me look good to the bosses!

Not on this calendar...I would need to do an entire new calendar with different sourcing to make this happen. Not sure if I can swing it this year but I like the idea and will do something for the Benefactors definitely for next year. Not saying it couldn't happen this year...just a strong likelihood that it will be next year! The end of this year is already stacked up with stuff to do including the 12 Days of Christmas event that I am currently working on graphics for.

I did come across this from Lulu...just posted yesterday:
