Hi everyone,

We've had an eventful couple of days, with the new software that was announced earlier this week being implemented yesterday.

We continue to address any and all issues reported in the tech thread:

http://www.offshoreonly.com/forums/t...es-thread.html

And we request that you keep reporting new issues there, in as much detail as you can (so that our technicians know exactly what to do) if/as you find them.

As to some of the aesthetic changes, we are going to work to bring the "look" of the forums closer to what the previous software used to look like, as far as background colors, fonts/text sizes, etc. This will take a bit of time. It will not look exactly the same. Ultimately it will be better. The site is different, and allows us to do some new things for the community that could simply not be done earlier.

Part of this is just getting adjusted to some new layout, where to find the things you always have used, etc. If you have any questions, feel free to ask Speedgirl and her crew. You'll find that everything is still here, and more.

A major reason for this upgrade is that now we can display a new mobile version of OSO for those who choose to browse on smartphones and tablets. It's a major improvement in an area that has become more important in recent years and will become even moreso in the months and years to come.

Bottom line: yes, the site is different, but we are not done with this upgrade. We're acting on every lead we get from you, and working hard to address any specific concerns that we can.

Thanks for all your reports, and we appreciate your patience as we continue to roll out the new site.

I used to log in , click on user control panel and see my few choice forums . Now it takes me 5 min just to find my forums .. Is there a forum favorite someware ?

Thank you for the report OCCJoe . When you say "choice forums", do you mean your subscribed threads?

To view your subscribed threads:
1. Click on your username or My Profile
2. Under My Activity you will see a tab that says "Subscriptions".

Alternatively:
1. Click on "Quick Links" drop down menu.
2. Select "Subscribed Threads".

If what you are looking for is "My Recent Topics" you can find it right next to the "Quick Links" tab on the navigation bar at the top of the page.

Please let us know if this is not what you were referring to. Thank you.

not a problem but I think the white background and smaller text makes the site harder to read, maybe you can put back some of the colors and text sizes

Thank you pstorti . Our tech team is working on that

Just change it back

Posted in another thread about "My recent Topics."

It looks as if they fixed the major bug. However now when I use my recent topics from yesterday or last week, it shows all my threads that I started, not what I posted in.

Getting there!!!!

Go back to how it was....This isn't user freindly at all....Everyone hates it

First off, thank you for your patience and for reporting these issues.

Tech has been working on the tablet/smartphone display/button issues. Some of them have been fixed; give ti another try!

As to the overall new mobile experience, we have NOT YET turned on the new mobile skin (that's why it's not better yet). Please stand by and we should have the new mobile experience ready soon!

You guys probably know this, but display ads in posts are forcing hard-right justification of text.
