JEFF!!! What happened?

IE 6.0 Jeff. Could we get our locations back on our posts? I think it's interesting to see where folks are from. Whenever you get the chance, I know you've got your hands full now.

 

Jeff

The reason I use IE 5.1 is that it is the latest Mac release from M$oft.
My financial status for the momment prohibits my planned purchase of a useful PC, bugger. I'm still and will probably always be a pro-mac dude, but tha PC OS's have improved a lot the last years making a pc usable even though I might not enjoy it as I do the mac.

 

I'm amazed we haven't heard from 8knots on this yet, but as his browser is probably steam-powered it'll take him a while ;-)

Jeff, don't listen to all the complainers and whiners (you know who you are....) - the new format is different, but the content is all here.

Whiner?

slightly whining Can u hear that tchu tchu sound around the bend?

Seriously was I whining? I hope not!

I'm so so sorry!
I will never Whine again!
Just had to try it out!

 

tchu tchu tchu...
Small steamboat approaching!
It looks purple from here...

I always knew eight would paint his steamer purple

SORRY!!! It all came as a shock in the wee hours after staring at the screens at the plant all night. I'm getting used to it allready. I really like the thumbnails with the names, nice touch. (I need to find one of Bill the Cat ) Seriously, great job Jeff!

 

Jeff,
think we read eachother well, i'm getting used and see many advances in the update now also, great site, great job, mucho work, and all thanks to you! sorry for falling of my chair ;-) keep doing it!

yipster

 

Bill the Cat lives!!! I knew I'd get dangerous with this 'pooter eventually!

 

Hey Jeff, I've been promoted! Is the "Senior Member" correct, or a glitch? I feel odd having such a title, as I'm just a babe in the woods around here. Does it have to do with the number of posts or something?

 

There... now I've demoted you

Seriously, it's based on post counts only. I just changed the numbers so:
Junior Member = less than 25 posts
Members = greater than 25 posts
Senior Member = greater than 100 posts

... so you'll be a senior member again in another 9 posts

 

I kinda thought so. Maybe I can find enough drivel to put forth to regain my title by the end of the weekend.

 

Oh I forgot to mention, you can also set a custom title (within reason) under UserCP and Profile Options if you like.

 

Now that I've made some minor template changes, is this still happening for you or is it ok now?

 

Sorry

but I don't like it.

Maybe different if this was the only forum one visited but upgrading software all the time begs the assumption that members have the time and energy to be bothered learning to operate the new software.

Likely as not I won't have the time energy or be bothered...

It werent broke and a saw no nned to fix it, I come here to invest time either getting help about boating or helping (entertaining) others about boating and resent my timer being wasted with learni9ng new spoftware when not even asked about it..

Sorry Jeff - but it's an arogant assumption to just assume that your members will go along for the ride.

I'll find better things to do with my time than figure this crap out...I just havent the time or inclination fo it frankly - stick with what the forum was about - i.e. boat design and fiorget the fancy new software - it just alientates people IMHO.

It looks nothing like the old forum...and I havent a clue how to navigate around it...the old forum felt like a comfortable lounge.

It's like commin home after a long tiring day at work - looking forward to reclining in your favourite chair in front ot the TV only to find that while you been away the wifes redecorated the whole freakin house without your consent and ya favorite chairs now missing, you can't find ya toothbrush or bed anymore!!

Frankly it sucks.

Cheers!
