CouesWhitetail Report post Posted April 27, 2012 Hey All, I will be upgrading to the latest version of software for this forum soon. The new software won't likely work with the current skin (the skin is the template that creates the colors and graphics in the forum). So I will likely have to change the forum skin and I just wanted to give you all a heads-up so you don't panic! The forum upgrade is necessary to stop all the crazy amounts of spammers that are creating accounts and posting lately. The new upgrade also comes with improved speed and ease of use so I hope it will make a better forum experience for everyone. But please be patient as I figure out the skin and options and such. Right now it looks like I won't be able to keep the current design that seems to be the skin that everyone likes best, so you might just have to live with a different look for awhile.

CouesWhitetail Report post Posted April 28, 2012 By the way, thanks to everyone for taking the time to report those spammers...I appreciate it. Bass, I don't see a need for tapatalk....don't you find the mobile skin works well for this forum for you? Last time it was discussed in the forum it seemed no one was interested in something they have to pay for when the mobile app is free. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BASS Report post Posted April 28, 2012 I was just wondering is all Amanda. I have the app and enjoy its user interface to check on PMs and the like quickly, but if there no user interest then there is really no point than is there! Thanks for all you do!

billrquimby Report post Posted April 28, 2012 I hope the new look is as easy to navigate as the present one. I especially like its "view new content" feature. I stopped visiting africahunting.com when it lost that feature. monstermuleys.com and 24hourcampfire.com never had it, so my visits there are few and far between.

CouesWhitetail Report post Posted April 29, 2012 Yes, the new forum will have View New Content. In fact it will be one of the improved features that will make it easier to find new content at different levels. For example, you can select to find new content since your last visit, or new content in last 24 hrs, or in the last week, or past month or past 6 months, etc. You will even be able to select new content only based on discussions you have participated in already or items that you select to follow. I hope you will find it easy to navigate Bill. And if anyone has any trouble you can always call or email or post questions about it. As with all new things it may take a little while to figure it out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
