OH NO!!! (in his best Mr. Bill voice) Please don't leave us Jeff! I so enjoy your dry sense of humor and wittiness too! Life 'round here just wouldn't be the same that I'd have to leave too. not  Jeff |

If I open in IE, don't like, but works much better in Firefox. Try clicking on Help/ About Firefox and open it. It should update itself or tell you it needs to.

Don't take this the wrong way, but that's one of the things I don't like about the changes  To me its an extra step to get where you want to be in the first place. |

Dog, tried firefox on my laptop and PC both machines did not like it. Don't know why so I try to stay away from it if I can.
and I'm not really unhappy with how the site works with IE, just some of the changes.

I don't take ANYTHING the wrong way... just tryin' to help out. It's your deal, not mine. To get things in MY life I must jump through hoops, cross my t's and dot all my i's too. Sometimes I feel like I really want to dot some eyes, if ya know what I mean.  Jeff |

Jeff, sorry to hear your not taking the changes well. The new main page was in the works for some time now after proboards announced the change from 4.5 to V5. We now are able to work with a custom page with this new system. The main page is to pass along info that will otherwise not be seen by guests and members. People will log in here and jump straight to a board/thread without reading any info that the staff is trying to pass onto everyone. Of course i/we have sponsors we need to keep happy, especially if we ask for review items etc. The main page like I said was planned from day one when I set this forum up for modelers to hang out. The old forum just couldn't handle the member traffic and posts. There are other options that crossed my mind since January to get a main page, like going through my website to get to here, but I decided not to and waited to get the new main page up.
Also, you may want to try other themes as there may be a problem with just the one theme and IE. Every update/plug in/code I install on the forum I make sure it works with most browsers, like IE and FF. You are most likely using the default theme ! Try another.

Good to hear guys. Jeff the camo Army theme is pretty cool. I still have to add the MSC logo to the themes and may change a couple of minor things. if your wondering about the girlie theme, well it's because the forum does have female members. Had to give them the option ..

O.K. after using the site for a few days, I will admit that it's not too bad I do have one request though. Is there any way you can slow the scroll rate down in the banners? These old eyes have a hard time keeping up |

Post by 406 Silverado on Aug 31, 2013 8:02:04 GMT -5
Good to hear Jeff.
As for the scrolling, I can slow it down. You can also stop the scroll to read it. If you place your cursor over what you are looking at the scroll will stop, and then continue when you move it away. Let me know if that works for you, or if you need it set to snail speed..lol I hear you with the old eyes, need to wear my specs at the pc and the bench now...

Hey Boss, I don't know if you slowed it down or not, but at this point in time the windows seem to be running more slowly. Seems a good speed to Me. Much easier to read. |

the new site just plain doesn't work on my PC! I can be logged in for about three or four minutes, then it locks up. Go back and start all over, and then it's less than three minutes. Each time it's gets shorter and shorter! The back arrow rarely works over twice, I might add!
Can somebody tell me what's wrong?

No worries.
