WOW..............new website format!!

[Make-a-Wake]

This is gonna take me a while to get used to..................has more color for sure:thumbup1:

[ksm2001]

Just logged in and thought WOW this looks cool but how do I get around in here, took a couple minutes to figure the forum now just have to figure out how to get to the store. Like the colors and layout, nice job:thumbup1:

Ken

[Make-a-Wake]

Yeah.........where's the store, still havent found it.

[Gunny]

New look, same great site:rockon2:

[Anbjorn]

I like it!!:thumbup1:

[Darin Jordan]

I'll withhold my opinion until I try this out a bit. Certainly not as easy to navigate and visually, it's kind of cluttered. I think the other site was easier to see the organization. We'll give it a try...

[Boaterguy]

how do I access user cp? other that just typing in the usercp.php after the url

[electric]

Being and Info. Tech. guy there is always that intial reaction when we put out new softare for our customers. Darin's statement is spot on, you need to withhold judgement for at least a week and find your way around a bit before you decide whether you like it or not.

[GP73]

how do I access user cp? other that just typing in the usercp.php after the url

On the very top right corner, click settings.

[Make-a-Wake]

Well i see that i can learn about travel and food...................where is the store.......?.....i need a prop.

[siberianhusky]

I find the light blue in the thread lists to be a bit hard to read, Once you open the thread no problems reading it, older eyes need more contrast! Grin
Other than that I think I like it, good job.
Had to check the url at first, surprised me, thought I was at the wrong site.

[kookie_guy]

Agree with Darin for now. But will see how I adjust to the new format. The previous one was perfect in my opinion. Nice soft yet contrasting colors and easy to get around. This layout, like Darin said, looks cluttered. Maybe its just the strong colors that make it appear that way.

[properchopper]

Nice looking, and I'm sure any initial clumsiness in navigating will become replaced with ease as time goes on. Heck, I remember (anyone else ?) when the forum was black and yellow !

One thing I just noticed is that one has to "go advanced" to add icons - an extra step for us "icon-o-fans" :glare:

Good article on Cruise Ship Deserts in the "Fruits" section :olleyes:

[drwayne]

Yumm
Nuthn better than something new, improved, and scary ! :tape:

[ray schrauwen]

Whoa! Is it my meds or am I seeing some radical new OSE forum!??

Nothing like waking up to something completely different.

Sorta freaked me out there for a minute.

O.k.... now to start navigating...

[dana]

I hate it..... So far

[sundog]

Well, I haven't gotten that Infernal Server error yet - so far so good! I agree with Husky about the font colors on the new posts page. A dark blue or black would be better for my eyes. But I like the new look, just gotta get used to the format.

[martin]

I know its early days but sorry dont like it & agree with whats been said.Martin.

[millzee]

Is there a "todays posts" somewhere?? I like it so far.

[Make-a-Wake]

OK..............EVERY time i go back to the forum, or click on "back" i get logged out........................

[don ferrette]

New look ain't too bad but the "home page" widget stuff I can definitely do without.

[jeepme]

Ya where is the store ????

[Rumdog]

where in the hell is the store?!

[U1Racing]

the new format is a better one just because it has more color, it still has all the same features just laid out in a different way

[kookie_guy]

To get to the store, you have to go through the forum. On the main forum page, at the bottom, click on OSE store (not that exactly, but you'll see what I'm talking about). That will take you to the old looking format store.

[ENCORE MAN]

The store is on the very bottom of the opening page. BG
where in the hell is the store?!

[mtnbiker94]

Wheres the swap shop??! That was my favorite part! lol

[mtnbiker94]

Wheres the swap shop??! That was my favorite part! lol

Just kidding I found it

[jeepme]

Found the store..Thanks

[BakedMopar]

Yeah it's different alright. I'll give some time. It's a little hard on the eyes though through smart phone. I'm sure I can pull through it. It's the members that makes this site great, not just the aesthetics.

[Shooter]

I agree.... a little harder on the eyes here as well. Maybe a text background color change would help?

[785boats]

The store is on the bottom bar of every page next to "Contact Us" Well, in the forum at least.

[LiPo Power]

harder to navigate arround.... Maybe it is just a matter of time....

[CaptPJB]

Got to agree it is harder on the eyes, is it me or are the fonts smaller or perhaps the color choice just makes it look that way?

[sailr]

Went to the home page. WHERE are the products?

[martin]

Went to the home page. WHERE are the products?
At the bottom of the page next to contact us. Martin.

[sailr]

That's a strange place for it. If I were Steven, and wanted to sell stuff, I'd want it prominently on the very front page...first item...not at the bottom where we are not used to looking for it. Just a thought. The home page is a strange mixture of widgets and weird news items. Not sure what they have to do with model boats? Maybe the home page is still a work in progress?

[Steven Vaccaro]

Please give it some time. there are a bunch of things I need to change and tweak. I haven't had a pc since 7am this morning, and this pc isnt my normal one. So once I get my pc back from the evil malware thats infested it, I'll be working on the forum stuff.

[Alexgar]

its pretty cool i guess now we know why all the errors last 2 weeks

[AlanN]

I would prefer to have the old format back. Too much visual activity going on for a chat/text type site for me.

[Steven Vaccaro]

Sorry Alan, its here to stay. Lots of new stuff. Video site integration is the largest one for me. youtube vids are much easier posted and shown on the site. Not to mention at some point the old site is not going to be supported by vb any longer.

[Boaterguy]

I don't understand what you mean by wheres the store, I have the OSE home bookmarked, and go through there for forums
A customer won't be going to the forums unless they have or want to make an account.

[Boaterguy]

If you click home what happens?
I get a "you do not have permission to access this page" message.

[kookie_guy]

If you click home what happens?
I get a "you do not have permission to access this page" message.

Me too. Also did it when I logged in for the first time with the new forum layout.

[Make-a-Wake]

I got to home page earlier, but here's what it says now

"Make-a-Wake, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1.Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
2.If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation."

[Alexgar]

same here wake but when i click the ose tab on the bottom it directs me to the store

[LarrysDrifter]

Dark colors are depressing. I need some light! I'm not going anywhere though. My obsession will pull me right through the new layout!

[Smoothops]

Just logged in and thought WOW this looks cool but how do I get around in here, took a couple minutes to figure the forum now just have to figure out how to get to the store. Like the colors and layout, nice job:thumbup1:

Ken

on the home screen at bottom says (OffshoreElectrics the one stop place for all your Fast Electric Needs!) took me a minute too. Site is way diffrent but will get use to it. Change is good, Change= better.....

[Vbuser]

the home page is a work in progress and is being changed. I'm not sure what its going to end up like yet.

[egneg]

I like it!

[properchopper]

New look ain't too bad but the "home page" widget stuff I can definitely do without.

C'mon Don, tell me you don't want up to date info on Cruise Ship Deserts in that oh-so-informative "Fruits" widget section.

( I'll refrain from making a politically incorrect comment on that listing category :tape:) :olleyes:

[jwt]

If it was not broke, why fix it !!!

Tms

[Boaterguy]

I still don't have permission to access the widgets, I got onto the home page though!

[Jeepers]

whoa!!!! this new look is hard on the eyes!:cool2:

[Steven Vaccaro]

I still don't have permission to access the widgets, I got onto the home page though!
Until those sections are updated, they will not work

[drwayne]

Steven .. should put the link to your shop at the top... not a one liner wayyyyy down the bottom !
DocW

[ron1950]

at first i hated the new site but it just takes a few mins to get used to it.....

[Shooter]

Overall, I like the new look! Just to be clear, when I said "harder on the eyes", I meant it's a lot more fatiguing on the eyes. My eyes are already bad (I use glasses for reading), and they are shot after reading a few posts. Could be the font size or the bright background color. A slightly darker blue or gray (like before I think) might fix it. Did everyone else that said "hard on the eyes" mean it in this way?

[Smoothops]

Maybe use the same thing we have on our clan fourm where you can change the background per user it is in the bottom left side try it out....
http://www.aa82nd.com/forum/forum.php ?????

[keithbradley]

If it was not broke, why fix it !!!

Evolution my friend.

If we went by that motto we would be carving pics of our boats in stone tablets. I don't know what all this new format entails but I am certain it will be for the better.

[JCAustralia]

The colours are very distracting......

[maxmekker]

Why change the picture upload(quess it's in the code of the new layout) , but the old one was much faster. Click click and you're done.

[don ferrette]

c'mon don, tell me you don't want up to date info on cruise ship deserts in that oh-so-informative "fruits" widget section.

( i'll refrain from making a politically incorrect comment on that listing category :tape:) :olleyes:

[Punisher 67]

Its all good , I love it just have to get used to where everything is , main page is a little hard to read though

[Steven Vaccaro]

Why change the picture upload(quess it's in the code of the new layout) , but the old one was much faster. Click click and you're done.

Its a step more, but on the plus side, uploading many pictures if much quicker.

[BILL OXIDEAN]

New format looks great Steve, but then again I'm someone who likes new, better and greater. When windows went to Vista I liked it, no one else did.
A little different to navigate than before, but will just take some getting used to I'm sure you chose it for all sorts of benefits (not having read the whole thread).

I like it, way to go!

[sailr]

Its all good , I love it just have to get used to where everything is , main page is a little hard to read though

Yeah, us old farts are a little slower to accept change but in the end I'm sure it's a great improvement. Thanks Steven for affording us this new format.

[Boaterguy]

the OSE store moved to the top, I like the link!

[Steven Vaccaro]

The old forum was more like a delayed chat session. A forum user will post, then a reply, at some point so many other new threads came up that the info sort disappeared deeper into the achieves.

The upgraded forum, is more content management friendly. We can make articles from threads with a click of a button. We can sort or list those important articles, making it easier to share them with other people. Because in the end the main reason we all post these things for the public to see is because we are wanting to share out thoughts and accomplishments with everyone.

[sailr]

I tried to upload some files today and finally gave up. The new uploader doesn't allow you to browse for your files? I can't figure it out. Tried over and over. It just wants to show me a choice of over 300 .jpgs on my computer but no way to get to anything else. HELP

[Steven Vaccaro]

top right click "add files"

then click "select files"

windows browser should pop up with places on your pc to browse for files.

Click the file.

[sailr]

Thanks Steven, I'll try again.

[sailr]

That worked! What threw me was there were no files there to SELECT so didn't know how to get any further. After clicking on SELECT, it allowed me to browse for the file. THANKS AGAIN!

[Steven Vaccaro]

It seems backwards to me also.

[sailr]

Is that your jewelry store? VERY NICE!!

[CHUD]

I like it steven! Just miss everyone 's pic's at the top of the page.:Peace_Sign:

[Steven Vaccaro]

I miss that also. Working on getting it back.

[Steven Vaccaro]

Yes, and thanks.
That picture is from a webcam we use when we buy gold from people. The police require it.

[FighterCat57]

Good stuff. Like the improvements. Seems a little faster too. Hope the management tools are a little better for ya. =)

I'll have more feedback once I have a chance to make a few posts...

[Steven Vaccaro]

the OSE store moved to the top, I like the link!

Little by little. A tweak here, a tweak there. Its all coming together.

[egneg]

Thanks Steven ... I have an article now and didn't even realize that I was and author!

[Boaterguy]

Steve has a jewelry store too? whats next? NASA?

[Steven Vaccaro]

Steve has a jewelry store too? whats next? NASA?

HA, jewelry store is my full time job and pays the bills.

[Boaterguy]

Steve, is the autosave feature new? i;ve never noticed it before. How does it work? (ie. how do we retrieve lost posts)

[Steven Vaccaro]

Auto restore saves every 30 seconds. If you happen to have a crash, and its saved, when you go back to repost, you will see a restore auto-saved content. But its only there for a limited time.

[Steven Vaccaro]

This new web site is slow to load and locks up when changing pages. the main "home" page is slower to load because of the content on that page. You can create a shortcut to the forum board to cut out having to go to the home page.

[Boaterguy]

Is it possible/ can it be made possible if you have spare time (i know you probably don't) to subscribe to a thread without posting, in case you want to watch a build but not interrupt the chatting if you have nothing to say.

No pictures in private messages options are available. As for smiles. there is now a smile button that brings up a quick popup with all of them without having to go advanced.
