Okay, I take it back - I dig the squirrel with the fistful of cash. 👍 MUCH better than Charlie!
No idea what you're going on about 😀

Change?!?!?! 😲 We fear change!!!!!
Dennis, of course we fear change. This is the Vintage Forum, after all 😉 Can we go back to the C:\ command-line prompt, please?

As for the upgrade...

[insert major kudos and thanks here for all the tireless time and effort by the OF team to make this a great place that keeps getting better]

and...

[delete minor complaints to be resolved through continuous improvements based on technical requirements & member feedback]

That is all.

Do the moderators get anything out of this apart from their own enjoyment.

We get to nuke all the spammers we can find. 😜 That in itself is too much fun for some people.

You guys can take some comfort in the fact that any rough edges probably bother me more than anyone. Forum software in general is pretty rough, it takes a lot of effort to tidy things up.

Our frustration in performing extensive modifications to existing software is why we're building a full in-house solution that's vastly superior to any other "forum" platform we know of. What you're seeing now is an intermediary, and necessary step which will enable us to build some very exciting things in the near future 😉

I have been using taptalk. It works OK, but really convenient because I usually look at 3-4 forums (not just watch related).

The one feature I do like with taptalk is that when I star a thread I get a notification in my phone menu bar that an update was made. Much like when a new email comes in.

Does this new mobile site have this feature?

At least I can finally see this forum nicely on my phone, but yeah it would be nice to have the quick link tabs that were above the forums back!

Is it really a full in house solution? or have you just bought someone else's and added a few custom parts like Bremont did? and you know what trouble that got them into to!!😉😉

But seriously it was a bit of shock when the new look first hit me on coming here today but even after 10 minutes I'm already used to it and although I didn't think there was anything wrong before it does look cleaner IMHO. So best of luck with completing the roll out of the new look and features.

I prefer as it was before. It worked. If it works why change?
Just like watches, if they are working don't touch.😉

Just like watches, if you don't service them, they stop working.😉

I don' t have a phone 🙁
The missus says it's not good on hers either. Does it need a software upgrade?


It's quite a clean interface actually so, why not? Thanks for the effort Guys.

Just noticed that the search is much better as it searches the text as well (it may have done this before but, I never found it). This edit function works well.
Cheers, Chris

You weren't supposed to mention that to the hoi palloi. He who sayeth "thou fool" shall be cast into eternal damnation.

I don't get it - 4 and a half minutes of a cat rolling around on a rug, getting a quick scratch from the owner, and pausing to lick itself. What's the attraction?

With Chrome on an android phone, I see this but no response when pressing the video. Image link seem to work fine.
