Took me a little while to find the "View new posts" equivalent, "Active Posts. The "Recent Discussion" is kinda lame. Everything else is great though!

some neat features but find it way to bright and honestly looks very plain and not as professionally looking as the previous

You're not paying for a stay at the Hilton, you're paying to participate in nature. Anything can happen.

I like the old one better as well so far but it can change, its very bright definatley sun glasses needed, and its not as easy to see if there are any new posts in different areas of the board, so far I like the old one much better easier to read and look at,jmo

Like the grey. Fonts could be a bit bigger for us older eyes.
Keep up the great work!
I too like it, but could we get rid of the "yellow" for members names...hard on old eyes. Tks
Yellow was hard to read on white. It's gone now.

'Active Posts' is back up at the top on the right side of the submenu now.

There are 4 themes to pick from on the bottom left side of the page. Pick a theme you like.

Is there a way to incorporate the "Light Up" icon on the left of a topic thread, similar to what the old site had. This icon would light up when a new post was posted in that particular thread....??

The new forum has that feature Cdn Hunter.

Thanks, any chance of being able to move the "active topics" link to the top of the website. makes it a little more user friendly.

Thanks for the info

Cdn Hunter
"active topics" are available at the top in the submenu at the right.

I thought that I had posted a comment but I don't see it. Most likely my screw-up but anyway, at that point it was all about being with the guys that don't like change but would get used to it. Well, now after a week or 2 it is growing on me and I like it already... again.

:allright: Thanks for the feedback sheephunter.

You are absolutely right, it is about the community and what everyone here contributes. That being said, the staff are very aware of accessibility issues and ensuring our members can access the site. Things like ease of use, readability, font size, colour, access to features etc etc are important and make the experience all that much better. We have looked at what the members are requesting and what feedback we are receiving and working to implement them as we know these are important to our community.

We upgraded because the new board has a lot more features and functionality and in the over all picture it will be a better experience for all the users once we get everything worked out. It's been 8 days now and a lot has changed since last Saturday night when we went live so we are getting there.

I for one certainly appreciate your efforts and can't even imagine the work involved to keep this all together. And you're right, the content is so important and members opinions and ideas are all part of keeping it interesting for everyone, but we need a "place to be" and this is it. Congratulations on doing a fine job and allowing us this opportunity!

I like the new look with the changes that were suggested.. It did take some time to get used to navigating but I think I have the hang of it now. One problem I am having is I am unable to see videos now, I can hear the sound but the video doesn't show up. An example is Renegades post about the elk shedding its antler. The post looks blank under the text but I can hear the video playing. Same with the 2013 deer hunting success video., audio only. Coincidently I updated my iPad to OS7 the day the site changed so I am not sure where the problem lies. Could it be a setting or are others having issues with videos?

Thanks for the heads up on that. I will look into this.

Can you see youtube videos on your ipad? It is an embedded youtube link.

Let us know if this works:

Yes I can watch YouTube videos. I clicked on the link and it took me to the video. I cannot play the video as it says "the owner has not made this available on mobile" . I then went back to check the original post for the deer hunting success video and I still don't see a link there, just a blank screen under the posting.
