I like it, they was just editing and doing the final changes but it's great now cool color choose

Don't like the new design. Where does one go to find "chassis" info that was on the old site? How about the Appliance/Tech forum from the old site. The ads on this design over lap portions of the forum topics.

The Chassis Topics are where they always have been:
THE CHASSIS CLUB FORUMS

You will also find all the content that you have asked for in this section which has not moved from its original position:
RV SYSTEMS AND TECHNOLOGIES FORUMS

Just scroll down the front page and you'll find everything where it always was.

Both items have been addressed in preceding posts. As far as the locations of the forums, post #126 covers this.

I think the Administrators and Tech folks have been quick to respond and fix things as they have been pointed out. Instead of bi... complaining and declaring you hate it, let's all take a deep breath and point out what we find missing or needing correction.

Keep up the great work and I'm sure this forum will continue to evolve -- for those of you who believe in it. The rest, just wait for devine intervention and it will be fixed, I'm sure.

The declarations that they'll never frequent the forum again is sort of childish and untrue --- you know you're addicted to this forum.

For all of those who find the font too small or contrast between background and font hard to read, are you sure you should be piloting a large vehicle down the public highways?

Better today - mostly due to the more normal font - so thanks for all the hard work!

I usually go straight to "new posts" or to "quick links>today's posts" and rarely to the forum home page or recent discussion section. Mostly, because I can mouse over it to see if I want to continue reading, and I am lazy. Often, someone outside of my travel trailer section may have a relevant question or a cool mod.

I always access in Firefox.

Looking forward to articles on the home page. I am a big fan of minimalism, so websites that talk about taking only one carry-on bag on a plane to Europe, or backpacking for a season with only what one can carry catch my interest. I would be interested in similar RV articles here.

Unable to open my PM inbox. The header boxes post, and then it freezes.

I can say the page is awfully brite. Maybe a little deeper color contrast would tone it down a little. Still see the back button doesn't want to work unless you click at least 5 times.

When I first logged into the site after the latest changes, I thought the brightness settings on my monitor had changed. The gray font color looks faded and is difficult for my old eyes to read. I'm also color blind; red, green, and blue give me the most trouble, red and green being the worst.

135 posts in about 27 hours. I calculate it'll reach Walmartian size in about 47 more days.

Skip426 · 11-15-2012, 10:49 AM

Rome wasn't built in a day, and the site loads faster, I was having issues with Explorer on the old site and time will tell if those re-appear.
One problem , and I hope that this is mine alone, my personal e mail address, dedicated to iRV2, started getting spamed this AM. I hope that during the changes info wasn't leaked.
But after I claim my 1,000,000 pound sterling prize , maybe I can get that fixed.

Sky_Boss · 11-15-2012, 10:50 AM

My only "big" gripe is where did the "ignore thread" go?

If you scroll down the main forum page, through the forums themselves, not the list in the toolbar, you will see all of the forums.

Another way to direct someone, as I just found out by exploring, is to click on the "Forums" and all of them will appear, including Chassis and everything else. If you just view the drop down they won't appear, you have to click on the word "Forums" itself.

I did find on the CP page (Tab on left in banner at top) there is an option to set the default font size, Re-set from Medium to Large, hope it helps. have yet to see a noticable difference but have not reloaded pages loaded before the reset. More tomorrow.

I do agree, this new display hard to read.
