Reality Check: You were pretty active in 2007, '08, and '09, but…
You had all of 12 posts throughout all of 2010.
23 posts in 2011.
7 posts in 2012.
18 posts in 2013.
Zero posts in 2014.
Zero posts in 2015.
Zero posts in 2016 (the year the new setup went into effect).
6 posts in 2017.
Zero posts in 2018.
And this thread is your 6th post this year.
You weren’t anything resembling “very active” in this forum for years before the changeover. That’s entirely on you.
Bullshit. You “gave up” on the forums a long, long, long time ago for your own reasons. That’s fine and it happens, but don’t pretend to blame the site.
I do prefer the old forum look, and functionality, but it isn’t an absolute deal-breaker for me. This just takes some time to learn to navigate.
In all honesty, I probably like the old way because I spent a lot of time learning it and am familiar with it, but I am sure that this will grow on me as well.
It would be nice to get a “night theme” or a “dark mode” as was mentioned up there.
Is it just some kind of thing that I install in Chrome? I didn’t realize that I could do such a thing with web pages themselves if it wasn’t a native function of the site.
Sorry man, not familiar with chrome…been using firefox for the longest time. You could Google something like “chrome add ons” or “chrome extensions” though and look for a dark mode or something. Just play around with the keywords
One thing that has improved about this forum over the old one is the ability to create a draft of response and come back to it later.
I lost so many posts when I went to go submit them. I actually got in the habit of copying and pasting my entire post to the clipboard in case it didn’t submit.
So I would literally get done with my post and then hit CTRL + A, then CTRL + C, then CTRL + V before submitting a message.
