robertlane Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 The current version of Team Shelby has run its course and a new version is ready as a replacement. The new version will be similar to what you're now familiar with, however, it will be cleaner, smoother and faster. I had originally intended to have the new version running by now, but the introduction of the 2013s, T-Day sale and 50th Bash ticket sales pushed it back a little. The last thing that I wanted was to have the forums changed over during this time because I don't need > I'm planning on rolling the new version out this coming Wednesday.

twobjshelbys Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 I'm sure things will look differently. In general I'm OK with things as they are because I get used to a particular navigation sequence of mouse clicks, but I'm constantly reminded that "change is good (you go first)". Of course we've all survived at least three make overs. It'll be different but I'm sure we'll all get used to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will the change over be mostly transparent or will we need to re-register? This has been a good one but I guess you'll need to update it to keep up with the new 2013 Shelby GT-500 (LOL).

dh777 Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 The big question..... will there be any threads or topics deleted?

If not I go to another site..... I'm sure it will work just fine.... what could be worse, centered posts, text and the frequent database errors?

TexasShelby Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 Just remember...these guys work hard....so if you discover a bug, (in Microsoft fashion) it's a feature, not a flaw. All kidding aside guys, for those that aren't techno nerds, something of this size may have a hiccup or two, so just be calm and if you see it a second time, than perhaps I'd think about reporting it. I can't remember the last time I ran into major issues with this site. It has to be one of the best maintained sites around, all except the window to Donate to TexasShelby Mod Fund is missing again. Perhaps that will be fixed in the new release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twobjshelbys Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 It looks like it's on the air now. A couple of things. The fonts and display are quite a lot larger. It used to fit nicely into a window, now there is a scroll bar to see everything. The "Search" area "floats" over various places depending on window size. The "View New Content" button at the top forum level used to have a companion "View Today's Topics" (or something like that, it would show all of the content, seen or not, over the last 24 hours. Very useful built in search. The "view new content" list used to be very compact with lots of content per window without scrolling. It's got the same content, reorganized, but very "spacey". Less than half the content of the previous version. Edit: I see it - it's in the left column pane as a 24 hour check box. Going back to strictly unseen is tricky: there is a hidden button that does not display above the 24 hour one. The "mark all read" option is missing from the View New Content display. Lots of random data base errors and other stuff that I assume will get ironed out over time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrKSGT Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 Only been here for about 20 minutes. Like what I am seeing. Really had been wondering about my web browser in I would never see the emmotions items. They had been always in words only. Need to find a picture post to see if it opens direct. Having to copy and then paste in browser was getting aggravating. Hoorah! :angel: Robert. DrKSGT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moncho Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 So far I like the feel of the upgrade. I'm sure they'll be some kinks that need to be sorted out but I like so far. twobjshelbys - hopefully those items can be sorted out. Although I like the fonts & they don't spread across the display. Double check you're settings & I'm using XP @ the moment. Will check it out on W7. Cheers, Moncho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07SGT0547 Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 Robert. The mobile version rocks!! Not on an Android Phone... Lots and lots of "header" errors... Not to mention it is the exact same format as what's seen on the FULL web browser... WAY to much info for a 4.3" screen to display... Old "mobile" format was MUCH easier to see and navigate... But give it time and I'm sure all the bugs will be worked out... THANKS Robert! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
