WOOHOO! I LOVE THE NEW FORUM!!

[meateater]

You have to click on "Source" and add a <br /> where you want the line to break

For instance:

first line<br />

second line<br />

third line<br />

fourth line<br />

fifth line

After the 5th line it will not break any further it will just run together. A great way to put more than one item on a single line is to separate them with bars (just above the Enter key).

I was just looking for that info, thanks.

This is the most god awful forum software I have ever seen or tried to navigate.

HATE IT!!!

WTF?  Everybody uses VBulletin for a reason.

Most folks love what they are used to but that is NO reason to not change. Back when vBulletin first came out, I am sure folks were saying these same sort of things.

I understand fully that you feel that you hate it but give it a few days.. if you will have a somewhat open mind, it may just grow on you. It may not, just give it a chance.

At the very least, instead of just being critical, which doesn't help anything or anyone, just point out what you like and dislike in a more helpful manner.

I appreciate your feedback.. just try to make it constructive. That works best for all of us.

I am getting used to the place, and I know in a day or so I will have it figured out. In chinese the symbol for change means impending doom or increased oppurtunity. It is just the way you look at it

 

[pandemonium]

is the background going to remain white? please no its very bad on the eyes to me anyway

 

[TulsaJeff]

Yes.. we kept it the same background color it was before. Are you on a laptop or desktop?

 The signatures on this platform are more limited than what we have been used to. For some this is a good thing and for others.. not so good. There are some significant changes coming down the pike on signatures to allow some images and such but not sure how soon this will happen.

My vote on the Sig's would be, I think it would be great to have the ability to show a pic or pic's. BUT, in my opinion I would like to see them from left to right about 12 lines tall at the this font size.

I really disliked having to scroll down 20 feet to get to the next post. Just my opinion tho.

BTW I can't say that there is anything I dislike so far. It is different but what the heck. LOL kinda overwhelming to have so many pages of new post. I don't think I will make it thru all of them. Oh ya it did take me like 5 minutes to find the dang spell checker.

Sorry Guys,

Hate is an awful strong word.  I was just venting.

When I join a forum I utilize my UserCp to it's fullest advantage.  I put my favorite forum pages in there and that is all I use. Subscribed threads automatically end up in there. So on and so fourth.  It's the v bulletin way.  

I feel like I have been knocked back to the UBB days.

I am sure I will get used to it. 

Also when I first logged in it wouldn't let me really navigate anywhere.  Probably not cookied up all the way or something.

I may not be totally understanding what you're referring to but the subscription system on this platform is extremely flexible per user.

I do think it will take everyone a few days to find all the golden nuggets of wonderful features located on this platform.. view it as a great adventure

 

[pandemonium]

im with you on the pics man some people had like three giant pics of their grills and equipment to scroll through, the pics should have a size limit for sure.

That's a really easy question to answer. 

 It must be new site magic!!!  Thats gotta be it.

 

[pandemonium]

uhhg well maybe i need to stay away to lose some weight lol or go blind here hehe

well i see what it is i just went to another board like our old one and the blue font is much easier on the eyes imo

We'll see if anyone is experiencing the same problem.. thank you for your feedback.

I actually think that this new system is even better!  Whenever I log in, I'm immediately shown a list of threads that I've either started or just posted in -- even ones that have been pushed back several pages!  PLUS, when I click on "All New Posts", every thread that I have posted in shows up highlighted with a blue background.  I don't subscribe to threads, so I don't know how that works here, but I expect that it is quite functional once you figure it out.

Just my $0.02

Thanks Dutch, Jeff and Lugnutz for the help with my avatar, from what I can see from reading here this change over is a monumental task and you take the time to help with such a trivial thing, all I can say is:

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU,

that is one of the reasons I'm here at SMF, the help and friendliness of all.

There is a person that I'm unfamiliar with apparently working behind the scenes, Cristina7, that sent me a PM with a pic she found on the net that will work for me and even offered to install it as my avatar, THANK YOU Cristina7. 

Man, I've never been helped (or felt like I could even ask for help without being flamed) like this anywhere else on the web, SMF is a class act and people friendly, again, THANKS to you Jeff for your kindness and good principles and in all the people working for you.

Yes, it certainly is, and that is precisely why I immediately became a Premier Member even though I'm unemployed and completely broke.  One couldn't possibly ask for a more friendly site or one with more information than this one.

Kudos to Jeff and all of the SMF members for making this the best experience on the whole interwebs!

The UserCP was definitely useful on vBulletin.  While things are organized in a different way now, we still have the ability to subscribe and now, all those subscriptions appear right on the home page.  The activity feed which says "Recent SmokingMeatForums.com Activity" at the top can be used in two ways.  You can use it similarly to the "all new posts" page, or you can filter it down so it shows just your subscriptions.  Other UserCP functions like editing your profile or email address can be found on your profile.  If there's something you cannot locate, post a new thread about it specifically and we'll point you in the right direction.
