I called it up n no gif of our smiling TO answering the door... The page looks very generic, bland, missing something... And when I went to log in, proboards took me someplace else entirely And had me UPGRADE my log in...HUH??? Mcm, what happened?

I know. It did the same with me. I liked the old one better as well, but it might be because I knew how to navigate it and it WAS easier to navigate IMHO. BIG sigh. Don't make things harder for an old broad. We don't likey.

It sucks. Where's the 'recent posts' button? That's the one I always used to hit to keep up to date on who was talking.
Did anybody actually ask for this re-design or was it thrust upon us? How about moving to Yuku? They don't fuck about with formats.

Other than the emotiocons being gone, everything appears to be here except ... for the Youtube button. That's probably because of Youtube. UPDATE: I found my beloved emotioncons. You just click on the smiley face and a drop down box appears. I'm going to see if a Youtube Video will work. It's a Season 4 Tribute:

That's how I navigated the Board too. I did find this... From the HOME page, go to the bottom and click "Recent Threads" and you will get the old recent posts thread. Unfortunately, so far, I have to go back to HOME and then BACK to Recent Threads at the bottom. What a pain!

There is a recent threads and recent posts link on the bottom of the home page.
MCM will probably have to redo the TO picture (or create another) when she has some time.
I agree, I like the other format better, but it's gone.

Works much better on iPad, BTW.

Works much better on iPad, BTW. iPads and tablets are probably one of several reasons why ProBoards did an update.

Actually no. I wasn't logged in when I wrote that. Once logged in it's just as horrible as on the desktop!

I've been playing around with the site. I found my beloved emotiocons (click on the smiley face, there's even some new ones). And you can insert a Youtube video and others by pasting and then highlighting the link, then click on the movie clipboard icon. It's actually easier than the old way. The board looks weird, but I think we can get used to it, if we give it some time. TO is worth it.

Its much easier to navigate via mobile, but it's rather bland. Generic looking. Luckily I had the "recent posts" link already bookmarked so I dont have to mess with finding another link!

Yeah, I don't like this one, prefer the old page.... Oh well, just like the web to change s-?t just because and you have no say....Like Adobe stopped allowing flash player on android phones, so I can't log into my Amazon account via my phone to play my TO library while at work during my down time (between calls for EMS)...Some days, I get an entire hour between jobs.. Enough time for a full episode....But NOT ANYMORE... BUMMER DUDE.... =( Thanks for nothing adobe...Gheez... Now this...I can't win...... Lol

I found a way to access new threads, at the top of the page under your login details it says "participated" if there are new posts it says "new participated" click on that and a box appears with any new posts in it

A couple of months ago we were told that changes would be made to the site. I guess this is it. FX has screwed us up, and now big changes at ProBoards. I'll do what I have to do, but it will take getting used to. I'm one of those "old dogs" that are hard to teach new tricks to, so I don't know how well I will adapt. Technology is changing faster than I am able to.I wish I was 21 again.

I know I would be mighty sad if you stopped coming here. Just give it some time. Unlike the FX board, this one actually works, and we've all been together for a while now and discuss stuff we'd never discuss over at FX.

Sorry kids! This is the "upgrade".
One more weekend of working and then next week I should be able to get a handle on it. Remember Jess made the smiling TO answering the door gif from the trailer for Electra Lux, so I'm going to have to get a hold of her.
I poked around on the beta site last year before S4 and I seem to recall I thought it sucked. Now I see that great minds thing alike.

Please, God, don't use that same gif again. I was getting ready to shot myself every time I logged in! LOL Well, maybe not quite, but close to. There must be millions of Timgifs out there.
Hey, can somebody "message" me (if that hasn't changed too) and tell me how to take my non-avatar off and put a new one on. I thought I followed the old instructions, but no luck.
"In with the new, out with the old!" Heck, ladies we're f**kin' TIMOTHY OLYPHANT FANS! We can take anything!

"In with the new, out with the old!" Heck, ladies we're f**kin' TIMOTHY OLYPHANT FANS! We can take anything! I'm actually going to post Avatar instructions here because it's changed for the better, it's easier. 1. Go to PROFILE at the top of the site and click. 2. Click on the EDIT PROFILE. 3. Click on the AVATAR tab. 4. Easiest one is to select the USE ONLY UPLOADED/LINK option. 5. On same line, click on the link that says UPLOADED/LINK. 6. On popup screen click the SELECT IMAGE button and find the image you want on your computer. Click 'OPEN' to close the window. 7. Click SAVE AVATAR CHANGES button. To add a SIGATURE or change your STATUS, click on the PERSONAL tab and edit your information. Be sure to SAVE.

I know I'm a newbie, but I'm with bookperson. New pic! Or a longer, slower gif. Sometimes the door one would make my eyes cross.
