New forum layout
- Thread starter shambozzie

Indeed, now i just hope there will be model sub forums, cuz otherwise the big / old brands might still be a little hard to navigate.

I guess no format will please everyone. If I remember correctly, the numerous manufacturers were previously hidden under a separate subtopic, which I prefer. The new format creates a lot of scrolling through headings that I seldom use. But, that's just me, and it may be a minority opinion. After a few uses, I've already adapted to it, so it's not a big deal at all. And I appreciate all the hard work that goes into maintaining the site.

I agree with wimpanzee and elh102. I much prefer the old format and would rather see all the manufacturers in a separate drop down menu. Waaaaaay too much scrolling to navigate the main page.

Yup I’m a dinosaur too, I’m resistant to having to learn something new. There’s still stuff I don’t understand about the forum because I’m such a resistant old dinosaur.
Once it bumps into my head enough times I’ll get it, Strelok scares me as well

I always feel like I’m dead last in class. I was even resistant to trying slugs lol!

I actually started a thread on the new layout under Forum Feedback earlier. I also prefer the older format. Maybe they should put all the manufacturers at the bottom of the categories. Too much scrolling down trying to look for the main categories like General Discussion and PCP Discussion. Just some constructive criticism.

Was one of the biggest complaints on the GTA forum back in the day... too many 'gates'. Same thing here.
I think many posts will be lost in the shuffle. I dont, nor ever have owned a Zboria gun for example so I'm less inclined to look in that category. With the old format, if I saw something in the PCP section that was Zboria, I would probably look.
I guess there are advantages and disadvantages. Not resistant to change at all, may not like it, but I'll get used to it.

I think I am going to like the end result, I like organization. Now if folks would just post in the proper section and use the title in the proper way, instead of some click bait BS I think we might be on to something.

After going through learning (still learning) the new cad/cam system at work ( perfered the old cam/cad) my brain is already mush. So what the heck.... let's give this format a go

Woah, sorry about that... all those individual sub-forums were slated to be deleted.

Now that we got this squared away, is it too much to ask if we could bring back the Off Topic section lol?

Yep, nothing better than looking at some really cool homemade knives then clicking on the next topic and getting into a fight. The Off Topic sub forum was like a part of town that had some nice stores but you could also get caught up in a robbery or drive by.

@Micheal That's disheartening. I found value in some of those sub-forums. Will the information that has been posted to them at least be archived, specifically the "Docs, Repair Videos, & Schematics?"
