Forum layout has changed?

[JLawson]

Marshal, thanks for all you do to keep this place in shape.  The upgrade is nice and I appreciate your efforts.

[Marshal Halloway]

You're welcome and thanks for being here.

One more feature is just added. In your profile settings, you can add your Facebook and Twitter ID. Icons will be added to your profile and visible in your posts under your avatar.

Click profile on the menu and then select Forum Profile to modify it. The Social media fields are at the bottom of the Forum Profile modification page.

I'll complain!  This color scheme is terrible. Hard on the eyes (for me anyway) and not enough contrast. I also miss the "recent posts" section on the forum home page.

That about covers it.

Marshal the software/security upgrades are a pain.  The way you personalized the old board was amazing and took a while.  Rome wasn't built in a day....your personality will emerge on this board as time goes on.

The important thing is that you get out and shoot some and work on this when you can...oh, and take care of any honeydoooo's you may have.

If you ever get a chance there is one thing...the last posts at the bottom of the main forum page were a good thing to have.... 

So I just had a thought...happens every so often, sorry.  Marshal what do you and you other guys think about an AR-15 build thread/page?  America's rifle....I haven't thought it through but I'm thinking about the Brownell's AR-15 builder...not that we need that but somehow have a thread/page that subdivides into lowers & uppers...then we could have observations/discussions on trigger groups, barrels, sights, etc.  Yeah I know there is arfcom...but it's a pretty impersonal place with "experts" that drift in and out with all measure of bad and good advice...I think this is a more stable environment that allows discussion about differing ideas in a more polite atmosphere.  OK, OK...just a thought going on here, nothing more......I'm already going with the Magtech lower, Wilson Combat single stage trigger for a carbine, Noveske sights, a Wylde chambered barrel by Wilson, etc...etc...etc....

Rastus,

You know me too well..... 

I have been known to make changes on every software I am dealing with..... one reason being that they all come with certain defaults which cannot please everyone, the other being the practical or impractical elements of it. This is also why programmers hate me.... and to some extent, I don't like them much either.... I just deal with them.

Yes, this forum will be tweaked in the weeks and months to come and when time allows. Any input is appreciated good and bad.

We also need to look at the different boards and see what we need. No problem adding an AR dedicated board. This board can later be split in sub boards if that is necessary. Stay tuned on this one.

On the left side of the screen there needs to be a beer tap, and on the right side a Crown dispenser.  With those two items up and working I'll be just peachy keen and never complain again

I admit to being a little slow, but I think I see something new:

Advertising added the threads.

What is this system going lead to?

Well, it works for me.  Let the sponsors pay for the site instead of us =)

As Timothy said, if you have a new message, it will show up on the menu.

Example with one new message:
Home  Help Search Profile My Messages [1]

Copy that....I seldom get a PM so having a heads up on the front page helps. Thanks!
And thanks for the upkeep on the site. Has to be a PITA with some blonde yelling in your ear.

Correct observation. I had to fix the tall header and moved the banner from that area to show inside the post threads. It's compromise....
