How many folks are "loving" this new site update?

[Sean in PA]

I don't like the new format due to not being able to tell who is answering the post. Now it is like the old modern view and you have to read every post to see who is really answering the first post and whom might be saying something to the person who did each post. Sort of like talking to people but there all blind and can not hear different sounds of voices to know who is saying what

If you click the "Reply" link in the bottom right of an individual post, like I just did, then your reply gets indented just below the post you are replying to. So if everyone does that, it should be easy to follow who is replying to whom.

Yes if every body did that it would work as it should but almost no one does that. So far your the only person who has done that with my post and that is how I have answered most posts so the person know who is talking to them

Congratulations!
You are making progress.

Yes, more than one way to add pics.

Upon loading the thumbnail you can touch on the word "Insert" (upper left of thumbnail) prior to posting your finished reply. Doing so will also post the pic full size.

It’s only been up and going for a day, it’ll take a little time to figure out how it all works
Just like getting in a new car and not knowing what all the buttons do
Some don’t want to figure it out, they just want to complain that the controls on this new pickup are not exactly like the ones on their old 85 model

I can't help but notice the entirely new look and feel of this forum this week. I don't even see a choice for "Classic View" anywhere. I put together a poll for everyone to express their likes and/or dislikes. Please feel free to add comments as well as to cast your votes.

Oh well,
I'm kinda moving on from tractors anyway...

I hate change, but it was due for an upgrade.

 

[Tom in Mo.]

As far as I can tell, the only ones grumbling are those who clung to the classic view before. The few of us who used the modern view don't see much difference.

Change is difficult. I changed to Modern View right after it was introduced and never looked back as it kept the hot topic on top. This newest forum layout will be fine with a little learning curve.

I understand UltraDog. After decades of tractor wrenching I too have backed way off. I do still check in here to keep my toes wet and still keep a small herd of tractors handy.

I just had the last 1/2 acre of my property cleared, so it will all be grass come next spring, so I won't have any need for my '73 4000 with the brush hog any longer. I will probably hang onto the little Kubota BX until we sell the house in a few years and go full time in the RV. Then there will be no more tractors in my life.

Try to do it via the "attach files" button lower left in reply box

Just testing. Not recommending.

I don't see any indent!

I don't see any indent!

Go to your preferences and check the box that says "View threads by who the post replied to (formerly Classic View)" and then click the button at the bottom that says "Save".

 

[DoubleO7]

That's why I invited comments in addition to votes. If you want to change the wording on an answer or add another one, please suggest away.

Up there at the left corner of your post, it is indented to your own reply.

If your Preferences are set to "Threaded View"

And you look close enough to the post.

Its much like all the other VerticleScope tractor sites with the exception of no DARK MODE. I really miss that here.

The only thing that I actually hate about the new format is how many people are filling all of the actual TRACTOR forums with complaints about it. There is an Off Topic forum for things like this. There is also a forum where you can do testing of thiings, posting images etc.

Keep this in mind.

 

[DoubleO7]

NO
The proper place for all forum complaints or requests for forum assistance is in the Site Comments " sections.

If you are wanting to do tests posts for various things like posting pics, links, videos, etc.do so in the "Test" section.

One thing I will miss is the post count and label. Instead of tractor expert-guru etc etc and the 10’s of thousands of posts

Edit: ok, by clicking/tapping a members name, you can see how many posts they’ve made. Maybe it’s something only I looked at..
