No apologies needed. It's going to take a little time to get everything tweaked. One additional point/question: I have my preferences for posting set to use the advanced reply. Everytime I go to reply or add to a thread, it keeps coming up with the simple interface. If I click on "Advanced" it will immediately go to the advanced features, but I just can't get that setting to stick by default. Is it something I'm missing or is it a glitch?
Also, where's the setting so that it makes my coffee in the morning?

Is this a glitch? In Internet Explorer, normally when you go to a forum and mouse over a thread title, a little box pops up containing the first couple of lines from the first post in that thread.
I've gone through each forum, and here is what I've noticed:
In the "Off Topic" forum, this only works on the first 7 threads.
In the "Hunting and Fishing" forum, it doesn't work on any of the threads.
In the "Handguns" sub-forum of the "Classifieds" forum, it only works on the first 13 threads.
All the other forums seem to be working perfectly, popping up on every thread.
If it is a glitch, it's just a small one, but I felt that I'd make it known. I tend to use this feature a lot, reading the first few lines of the first post in order to decide whether I've already read that thread, or if that thread may pique my interest enough to read the posts.

1) I didn't think the forum search could suck worse. Turns out I was wrong.
2) Still not getting used the layout...
hope there was some good stuff in this upgrade to help the mods, cause.... damn...

I have a BB Curve 8830 and I was having a very difficult time navigating the site this morning. I made a posting about it in this thread. I got an out of memory message, and a java error message. I know Derek is still tweaking the new software. I'm hoping the tweaks will resolve our BB problems.

374 posts and I have no idea if this was asked or not because I'm not about to read every post... but does anyone know why the old format was changed to this?
I saw the change at Gunboards a while back and wasn't really into researching everything there, then saw the exact format here.

My guess is this is the new default format for the updated version of vbulletin
As long as we don't go the same route as Parallax Bill's forums did with Yuku! That software sucks bad and did away with the header pics of the monthly surplus pic contest winners.
Yeah the new format is odd, it'll take some getting used to and it doesn't look as warm and friendly as the old style did, but eh... what can ya do?
One thing I noticed that doesn't work the same is when you point your cursor at a thread title, you don't get small pop up window with the first few lines of the thread post. I avoided a ton of garbage with that feature.
Nice changes so far Mods, thanks.
Is there a way to make the overall font smaller at the main forum level?
And to get the "advanced" replies a standard item instead of clicking reply and getting the "quick reply"
feel free to point out the fixes if I've missed them already.

Just you wait till you get to my age young wippersnapper, then you wont mind the larger type size.
IE just FYI FONT = the type set , characters not the size.
In typography, a font (also fount) is traditionally defined as a complete character set of a single size and style of a particular typeface. For example, the set of all characters for 9-point Bulmer italic is a font, and the 10-point size would be a separate font, as would the 9 point upright.
After the introduction of computer fonts based on fully scalable outlines, a broader definition evolved. Font is no longer size-specific, but still refers to a single style. Bulmer regular, Bulmer italic, Bulmer bold and Bulmer bold italic are four fonts, but one typeface.

OT to this reply.
But with reguard to this new software upgrade the information I have quoted below is missing in the "my profile" area.

What happened to the thread pages. It like someone just handed me the, "your getting old remote".
Font is too large.

Yes there are some new items in that area purhaps but from a cursory look at it one cannot list posts that they created like my quote below shows how one could search in the past.

you're right but you can click on your name on any post you make and then click view forum posts. Or find all posts under your avatar in your profile. There isn't any find all threads started by link that I can find yet.
