Update

[Randy]

Guys, thought I would give you a heads up on Pro Boards our forum host. This month they will be changing the format of all their forums to a Beta Format. When this happens, you will need to re-log in, so please make sure you remember your log in names and password. To get an idea of what the forum will look like, take a look at my other forum, The Diesel Detailer. It will be similar.

Yellow on black Uaaaaaaahhhh ... are you serious ?

[Randy]

No it won't be yellow on black, that's one of the skins my members wanted. The colors here will be the same, but format will be different.

If it ain't broke don't fix it.

Our host is changing it. We have no choice Monsuer Mickey.

[mickeyobe]

Monsieur to you.



Or did you mean Mouser?

[mickeyobe]

Well I warned you. I told ya so.

Someone tried to fix the unbroken and He/She/It sure made an awful mess of it.

H/S/I just couldn't leave well enough alone.

So now we have what is called a B format. It is pure BS and I would rate it as an X format or worse.

TO ARMS! MAN THE RAMPARTS! THROW DOWN YOUR GAUNTLETS! LOAD YOUR PEA SHOOTERS!
Let us voice our objections to this defilement loud and clear.

When some H/S/I's get too big for their britches they think that their decisions are right for all.
Whatever happened to the democratic vote? To free choice? To good taste?

I see they have messed up my personal account information. Good going geniuses. You are off to a rollicking start.

My black cursor is virtually invisible on your blue background.

If you fixer uppers really want to earn your so far unwarranted wages you could start by undoing the harm you have already done.
Then you could offer all subscribers a choice from several new designs or the old one.
Then stop trying to act like a dictator and telling us what is good for us.
Then APOLOGIZE for trying to foist this unusable mess on us and swear not to do so again.

Well, I warned ya. I don't like it either, but what can we do?

[SidW]

We had a thread recently on legibility. The text in the dotted fields is illegible.

COMPLAIN.
CURSE.
CONDEMN.
CARP.
CHASTISE.
And as a last resort -
KVETCH.

Another problem with this ... this ...

I just measured my monitor. It has not shrunk at all since the day I got it.

However this new format's pictures are too big to fit entirely on my screen.

I have tried everything I can think of to shrink them a little but I have not been able to push the correct button(s).

The forum itself is 1000 pixels wide. Most monitors have a 1360 pixel setting. Everything on my screen is too narrow. As far as the photos are concerned, they should only be 800 pixels wide as has always been the rule here set forth by Peter Wallage.
