It's pretty obvious there have been some changes to the forum. I did the upgrade from version 1.6.19 to 2.0.7 tonight. I think you will find the changes pretty easy to deal with. It looks different but works much like the old version. I'll be making tweaks for the next few days so be prepared for minor changes. The old version was just too buggy to continue to try to support. If you have questions just drop me an email and I'll try to answer them as best I can. A lot of the new software is still new to me also but I'll try to come up to speed asap.

I didn't notice a thing!
Then I had my coffee! ;)
Wow! It looks nice! Thanks for the forum here Steve. I really love seeing what everyone is up to, even if I don't always have time to post.
Have a great weekend! :D

Very nicely done Steve, like the new change alot. edward

Change is good for the most part but, it is sometimes hard for people to accept it so, be prepared for the "Aginers".

Holy Crap.....This is fantastic!!!
Sure I was used to the old but even at my age I am adaptable.
And Steve once again shows he is up to date and looking out for all our interests.
Bet it took more than a few minutes to do this amazing update!!!
Now Steve you have permission to take a night off and get some rest!

Thanks guys' good to hear you all like the new look. I like the larger avatars also but they are getting blurred when they are up sized. I'm going to look tonight and see if that can be corrected.
-
The new look is GREAT. Thanks so much for your hard work. Is there a way to make the writing a touch bigger?
-
WOW Steve, the new look is fantastic, I like it very much. How do you find the time to do everything plus work a full time job? Do you ever get any sleep? I want to personally thank you for the great daily patterns and all you do to keep this site interesting, A shout out to Russ as well for his work on the forum.

I'm new here, just wanted to say, I belong to several forums and they could all take a lesson the the layout of this one! The nicest I have been on. Congrats Me. Good!
-
Campasano, time is the one thing I wish I had more of. There are so many things I would like to do on the blog if there were more time. I pretty much do things in marathon sessions late into the night. Let me put it this way. 6:30am came very early this morning after getting the new forum up around 3am. :)
Luckily most nights don't require that much effort. The reason I did that last night is because the forum was on its last leg. It was going to crash at any moment so I just did not want to wait. This version should make it more stable.
-
Very Stylish indeed Steve keep up the good work it's a wonderful forum. thanks for everything you do. Roly
-
I sure like the grey. Better than the black.
-
Very eye appealing! Like it a lot!
-
Nice improvement Steve. I don't know where you get all the time to run the site and work full time plus making new patterns every day for us and getting such a huge following of the greatest people all over the world that will help at the drop of a hat or Tam in Rob Roys case.
Thank You for all your hard work.

My avatar to me is in focus, the rest are not.

WOW love the new layout but personally for me i find it harder to read the posts do to the bright background Facebook and other forum sites i use are like it as well. instead of being here for a hour or so i'll have to cut my time down to about 10 mins at a time to give my eyes a break.
-
Site Looks great like the new look, I really like the big avatrs but like Newfie I also find it harder to read posts.and can't look around much at one time like before due to my eye sight. Just my thought but I think if it was possible to Change the lettering To bold it might make it a bit easier to see, Like the text at the top of the page where it tells about the upgrading of the site. Other than that I think steve is doing a great job, and the site runs great and its been really nice to see new members joining.
-
Looks great Steve. First thing I had to do was get an avatar. Before that Mt spot was not so big.
Well, just saw the new avatar and that ain't gonna work
-
Love it Steve. It really needed an upgrade and it looks and works GREAT. Thanks for everything AL
-
Steve, is there any way we can update our e-mail address on this new forum as I now have a new e-mail which is camp7436@comcast.net. On the old site I had to re-register to change my e-mail address.Thank you
Mike
-
Campasano, to update your email address just click the profile button at the top of the blog and select account settings.
-
Very nice Steve!! Thank you soooooooo much for all your hard work and time spent on the forum and your patterns and training aids, etc, etc. !!! ;D ;D

Just a thought, but for those having problems reading the text, you can easily enlarge it by simply pressing the 'Ctrl" key on the keyboard and roll the roller thingy on your mouse. Least it works on mine. You may already know that but I thought I'd post it just in case some don't.

Thanks guys' good to hear you all like the new look. I like the larger avatars also but they are getting blurred when they are up sized. I'm going to look tonight and see if that can be corrected.
Should we be posting new resized avatars for this? The blurring may be from shrinking images to fit the old format.
-
Steve looks great.
Is there any way that the location of the member's location can be displayed. I really think that it helps when someone asks a question.

I like the new set up but the default theme and colors do not work well for my old eyes. I started prowling around and found you can change the theme which will give you different colors. If you want to give it a try click on
Profile -- then
Modify Profile -- then
Look and Layout -- then
Themes
and then you can experiment with which of the choices best suits your individual style. The one I have chosen makes the avatars smaller but they are not blurred.
I do find that even though my log in is set at "forever", every time I log out I have to log in the next time I click on my desktop forum. Previously, I did not have to do a new log in unless I actually logged out rather than just closing the site. Anyone else having the problem or have an answer for what I am missing.
-
Like the new look.
-
Warning! I tried PigsFly's idea and it worked. I selected what looked like the old theme but, when I reopened the site, the Help/Search/Profile/ etc. were gone, only the Home and Gallery links were visible. I couldn't find a way to go back to the default theme.
After a while I thought of moving the cursor along the band from Gallery towards Home and noticed the lower right corner of the page showed Profile - then I clicked and got to my profile. Finally, I was able to get back to the default theme.
It appears some of the themes have problems so this might help someone else who has problems changing the theme.

Some of the old themes will not work if you change them in your profile. The reason that I changed the theme when I upgraded to this version is because the old and darker theme was only compatible with version 1 of this software. I should have deleted that old theme. Before the upgrade I had the selection to change the theme by use disabled because of issues. I may be doing that again so I don't suggest making too many changes just yet. I'm still working on things.

Might not hurt to try to reload the avatar pics, it could be the size limit on the old style was smaller, on this new software it has to resize it to fit and when it does blow it up it gets blurry, could also be the pic thats in the current avatars needs updated to a higher resolution to get a clearer pic.
