I personally don't want to see this as another bash thread but I have to stand up for the admin/webmaster on this decision on updating the forum.

As a webmaster my self it is hard to make this big of a change but due to vBulletin security patches and updates this was part of it. Think of it this way. Your information you have on here rather that be password or other things is more secure. I know all of yaw have been hearing about all the hacking that has been going on. This was a big security update for the forum. It does not matter if it is vBulletin, phpBB, or any other forum software out there. Over the years they have changed from version to version. Just give it time for the webmaster to make the settle changes that yaw guys like.

That is the same way people on welfare think. Now you use OSO for free and live off the fee's paid by others.

It's simple, join Artie aka theboatman aka the whiner over at iwishtheworldwouldstopturning.com and boycott. You can't possibly think oso is going to change just because you don't like it? Move on.

The more you use it, the easier it becomes. And the phone/iPad support was a much needed upgrade. Don't expect technology to stand still.

Also, nothing is stopping you from starting your own forum using the old version of vb. You, Artie and Darr can sit there and chat about the good ole days

WELL PUT

To many God$?>m freeloaders in this country for us working/tax paying/ middle class people who pay 95% of the countrys bills .

racer-x6 06-05-2013 09:29 AM

Is this the porn section? Can someone post pictures, lol

VtSteve 06-05-2013 09:36 AM

I've now used this forum on five different devices, four different operating systems, and I still don't get the angst over the changes.

About the only change I'd like, is that the Quick Links pulldown be on all pages, have it follow you around.

Other than that, I just don't get the love for how it used to be.

MonkeySea2 06-05-2013 09:47 AM

What the heck is the big deal with the new format?!? I don't get all of the whining about it. It looks just fine to me.

Hooligan Performance 06-05-2013 09:54 AM

I read and understand that changes were needed. I'm all for change when needed or forced to migrate...... But can the current look be
tweaked to not be so noisy looking? I'm not *****ing--just observing (AND I AM A PAYING USER)---the sight is a little less enjoyable to
look at.
I endlessly enjoy the content of the site and can embrace change..... But being a paying user I believe I am entitled to provide feedback.

A little tweaking would go a long way.

Uhmmm IB IS vBulletin.. Everybody keeps missing the whole point of the upgrade. It wasnt about OSO...it was strictly a corporate move towards alignment across their sites. IB owns and runs more forums than you can count. The fact that you dont like he new layout is really rather trivial in their corporate empire.

c_deezy 06-05-2013 10:05 AM

It took me about 2 mins to get used to the new layout. They've even been darkening the background to make it more blue ( a little darker would be nicer), but still it's not that big of a deal. It's not going back, no reason to keep asking.

POWERPLAY J 06-05-2013 12:33 PM

New site looks great! Quit crying or buy OSO and change it to how you want it... :pacifier:
