Here is my vote to go ahead and kill that again.[/quote]

Yeah, that should probably not be viewed again. Hidden now.

Also, do we have the option to bring back a multi-quote button?

That's a good question. I'll look into that.

Quick update...the old emojis are back in place and cleaned up a bit. We know you missed the two bananas banging. :toothless: :nannerbang:

Also there's a new all-grey theme available. To select it, in the upper righthand corner of any page, go to

My Account > Look and Layout

and next to Current Theme, click the 'Change Theme' button.

Then under Select Variant, choose Grey, then click the 'Use this theme' button.

In the future I'm hoping to clean up the theme naming system a bit, and also make it a bit easier to swap out themes on the user end. Also in the works is a true all dark theme that's going to take considerable time to create and troubleshoot. But at least now, if you don't like our happy 80's default theme, you can go a bit more emo. ;)

But I like the crazy pastel late 80's/early 90's vibe of the default theme. Fits the cars.

On the 'Be Social' theme, I think the look and action of the forum is more fluid and intuitive. I also like that the navigation buttons are pinned at the top of the window vs. fixed to the scrolling page.

If you have not spent much time on this theme, check it out. It might be a good base for other alternative themes. Even if not, just don't kill it, please! I like it better  :twocents:

So my first post on the new platform after several days of not having the forum load correctly (it was loading in HTML mode, like it was missing a bunch of data, something that used to happen a lot when I lived in the country and was using dialup). Just got back from the cottage and noticed an exclamation point in the address bar of Chrome saying "This page is trying to load unsafe scripts". Being the trusting individual that I am, especially where Eric and Baxo are concerned, I clicked "Load anyway" and, lo-and-behold, here I am!

Looks great, guys. Wish I could have done something to help but, contrary to what Eric said about my internet connection, it's not internet speed that is the problem (though when this all started going down it was, because it was hunting season and I was spending most of my time at the cottage, where internet is even more of a luxury than indoor plumbing  :mullet: ). It's mainly my lack of knowledge about anything internet related that came after 1998 or so (and even back then I could only do basic HTML).

Anyway, thank you Eric and Baxo and everyone else who made this happen. I had been growing concerned about what might happen with this forum due to my lack of knowing how to run it anymore, and you guys really stepped up. We're in good hands now.

A little bit of an update: In order to stop that "This page is trying to load unsafe scripts" error from happening every time I visited the site I had to go in and edit my bookmark. I changed HTTPS to HTTP and all is good now

i dont see it yet, sorry but.........
when attaching images,, i typically upload from my phone or pc.
that all works fine ,, i figured it out but.........  the images are thumbnails... that you have to click on to make bigger.

is this the normal way now?

over in electrical tech i just posted a thread to illustrate a before and after manual heater mod we all worked on back in 12'.

it is much easier to scroll down the page with fully expanded photo's

???

btw,, i didnt have th change my password.  first time on the new board.  i guess we are up to the 4th one now?
