Been fun, everyone...I think I'm gone.

Well...bye.

 

[Synthaholic]

It's all a vast blank on my screen...

Do you have AdBlock running?

Oh, is that why it's blank for me? I use the shit out of AdBlock!

 

[Synthaholic]

What I would like is a full screen. Not a 3rd of the screen blank or filled up with bullshit. That was my question. I assume the answer is tough shit.

Why would you assume that? Because 7 hours have gone by with the new software, and your concerns haven't been catered to yet to your satisfaction?

Piss off.

That kind of stuff is why Supporters are important to the site.

If everybody wasn't blocking ads, there'd be less reason to use features such as customized user titles as perks for monetary contributions.

What's a FN key? I did mine on my monitor buttons. It was a PITA.

she's prolly using a laptop. I ended up using the monitor dimming adjustment which also was difficult to find as I had to scroll through a menu i hadn't opened up in 5 yrs

If only it were that simple

Be specific about what you don't like. Saying it sucks I don't like it helps us with nothing. Be specific please

Where can I click on my recent posts?

 

[Billo_Really]

This new "upgrade" sucks! The smilies suck! The Format sucks! There is nothing about it, I like and don't give me BS about "bugs." The old forum was better. That's no bug, that's fact.

Post here if you agree!

I agree.

 

[HenryBHough]

Face it.

If this had been the original format and there was a switch to what was the actual original then you'd still bitch.

"Change is inherently evil."

That attitude is contributing mightily to America's slide into Third World status.

Go START>CONTROL PANEL>POWER OPTIONS (I'm assuming Windows).

You'll find a drag bar to change screen brightness.

click on your username (top right) Choose "Your Content" and away you go

The conversion is done...there's no going back.

But, it should be quite easy to update the smilie list.

Also, please get our albums up and running.

Yes, with new smileys and the option to have a profile pic or albums, this upgrade would not be so bad. It just takes some getting used to, like anything else. It kind of stinks for me and perhaps other newbies because I was just starting to get used to this forum and now it's changed. Lol! Oh well!!

Do you have AdBlock running?

I downloaded an adblock for google chrome (on the advice of another poster), and it works great. All of the ads are gone from my profile page.

 

[Pogo]

Oh, is that why it's blank for me? I use the shit out of AdBlock!

I'm guessing, but I keep hearing people refer to all these ads that are just nonexistent on my screen, and I was already running AdBlock before the sea change.

Search is not working Properly. Unable to find my past posts , or that of others very easily.

Takes way too long to relocate threads I was participating in . Once on the thread , it's more time consuming to follow it and the various posters participating- it requires additional clicks.

When posting the quote feature [ quote box] is gone.

Plug Ins aren't loading [shockwave] , that may be on my end- but don't have problems on other sites.

Oh yes .... The smilees don't forget the smilees ...how can you have a serious conversation without the proper smilees - I click on the smilee icon and nothing happens ...Oy Vay !

 

[Vandalshandle]

This forum is almost as good an idea as "New Coke". I am beginning to suspect that it may result in my spending more time doing more productive things.

 

[FA_Q2]

Piss off.

Probably because advertisements are there and that is the least likely thing that websites are going to allow you to filter off. I too assume that I am SOL as I have the same request. Anything on that Cereal?

And background color seems to be on everyone list. I never really noticed it and it really is not that big of a deal to me but I think the old grey would be nicer to have and bring back some of the old 'feel' of USMB. Is that something that might be possible?



Then again, I could just assume that others are being whiny idiots and go with your assertion....

I understand, and I appreciate those reasons. But ads are the wild west. Pop-ups, hidden malware, browser hijacks, redirects. I protect my machine and my personal information first, and am very security-conscious. Most people aren't even familiar with LSO cookies, but should be. So I block Flash also, unless I need it, like YouTube.

As someone who did not have ad block until a few minutes ago, I can vouch for that. I had ads all over my profile page. Very distracting! Ad blocker works great though.

Top right corner, click your name, choose Your Content.

You just need to get used to it. In a week, you'll have forgotten all about the old format. Lol!
