My observation concerning new format

[Scott 730]

Rather surprised at the struggles some are having adapting to the new YT. This site now closely resembles most other sites I am familiar with and frequent. It almost seems that the only format they know is the old YT. Do they not frequent enough other sites to be more familiar with what we have here now? As I said in another post, every site has it's quirks and way of displaying things. You have to learn the details for every site you visit. We all had to learn how YT worked when we first joined, right???? That should be no different than learning how the new YT works. The old site was on the verge of being irreparably broken as I understand it. There were security concerns also. How much wailing and gnashing of teeth would we have had here had there been a security breach of personal information??

Give it time and try to learn how the new site works. Patience, Grasshopper.

Working to learn the new stuff.
But in answer... Nope, no other forums frequented by me. LOL. Only Classic View YT.

 

[Eagle Doc]

I don't frequent too many other sites either and have always used the classic view. Nothing has posted on classic view since Thursday. I thought the problem was with our ancient computer but found out on another one that it is the site. I hope I can learn how to use this site before it changes again.

Don't think there's going to be any major changes for a while.

It's good that you are checking things out now when the site is fresh & there are lots of questions going around that are getting answers. So, lots of knowledge abound without digging too far & you can always ask if you get stuck.

Glad it wasn't just me that couldn't figure that one out! Thought maybe I was missing something.

I'm sure that to the ones who used Modern, it's a huge improvement, since that was crap too, but to those of us who always used Classic, I for one, feel like my dog died. This is a sorry replacement for what we liked for 20 years.

From the get go I didn't like of use the modern forums and well this is closer to the modern then it is to the old classic. The classic was people friendly and you knew who was talking to whom but this format one doesn't know who is say what to whom

Agreed just going to see less of me ,,no big deal as they say life goes on

 

[bmaverick]

and like WHAM-O I get tossed here from the Hoye Yanmar YMOwners.com tractor forum merged from last night.



You'll find me in the Yanmar and Deere sections. Maybe some Cub Cadets as Yanmars too. Oh, are there RK tractors here?
Yanmar is everywhere now. LOL

Dude it's a learning curve. I just had an issue with multi pics and text between. I think I'm pretty good with teck but it takes a while to learn how it works. I may be making use of the test forum when I have issues

Using a computer with a large screen really helps. Makes using the forum really simple.

Using a smarty pants phone is just painful on forums. I know, I do that too.

Me too buddy. It is a whole new thing but I'm getting there.

I'm sure the "major" changes is over for a loooong time.

 

[ptfarmer]

Just think of the new forum update like going from using horses to these "new fangled tractor contraptions".

From the get go I didn't like of use the modern forums and well this is closer to the modern then it is to the old classic. The classic was people friendly and you knew who was talking to whom but this format one doesn't know who is say what to whom

Please read the some of the same threads in both the unthreaded version and the threaded version, they are laid out different. Unthreaded the posts just fall one under the other as they were posted in time, like Modern did. Threaded they follow the post they are replying to even if there are other post after the one the reply is to, like Classic did. Right now, there are 5 posts made after the one of yours I am replying to, let's see if this lands right after your post.

Outside of the fact that you can't just go to the index page of the threaded view forum and scan down the list to see who posted to a thread and when (like you could on the old Classic), how is the actual threaded view so much different than the old Classic when you open and read the thread? I am just guessing here, but I am thinking not having that index is your biggest issue with the new layout, you actually have to go to a thread and read it to see who posted to it, so it isn't "people friendly" to you. Thread posts drop in under the post they reply to IF the poster used the reply and quotes in the text box of the post they were replying to and there is a time and date stamp on each post.

I apologize if that's incorrect thinking, but something is driving your repeating basically this same thing over and over. And it's not because you can't tell who is talking to who if you read the thread.

In some ways it is too bad they worked so hard to keep Classic going for so long, but they accommodated the Classic users wishes as long as they could for numerous reasons. Regular smaller changes over the years likely would have resulted in less "sticker shock" now. Be thankful you had it as long as you did and please give the new system a chance.

Edit: Yup, it inserted right after your post, and it indented too.

Are you posting from a PC? You can click & drag a pic from a folder on your computer & drop it right in the text box here. Double space after your last sentence to give it a decent spacing & to give yourself an area to drop the pic in.

I use space/text/space for typing between.

Oh.... hit ENTER/RETURN after the pic pops up in the box to put the cursor under it to continue.

Hey Grasshopper, you nailed it. I know many don't understand the dark ages but some of us are still there. Thanks for your patience.
