    The old forum was ancient and achingly slow. This place rocks...uh...grooves!

    This is a lot faster. I hope we can get avatars that go under our names on every post. Then, I won't have to keep uploading my picture.

    All the mods have to do is turn on the feature.

    Go to where it says "Forum Actions" to the left of the screen, and hit "General Settings". Then go to "My Settings"/"My Account" on the left pane. There, you can change your password and email.

    Hope this helps!

    So far I'm liking the SDF Orange skin choice [[over the white-blindness). Will there be more choices as time goes on?

    TRUST ME, you don't want to think about trying the SDF Red2... help me I'm drowning in bubbalicious!!

    Change is hard for old people!

    I'm in the "it's OK" group.

    What surprises me is that the number of guests is far greater than the number of members online; LOL. They WATCH!

    That, I like.

    I think I've got a few years on you, Rob. And I don't remember anyone more old fashioned [[or living in the past) more than me.

    But, I have to say that this new format is GREAT! It's super fast, and I don't lose any hourlong typing posts due to forgetting to hit post the 2nd time [[automatically going to Preview first). That was maddening. Also, I can once again upload record label scans, especially as the 50 kb limit for photos has been removed. HOORAY!!!

    As Maxine Brown once said "You brought me out of the light" -"It's gonna be alright". I love not having the really dark background. On the other hand, this is a little TOO light. Maybe Lowell will make a couple more background choices. But, first, I know he has to do a lot of work to help the old members transfer over, successfully.

    Also, turning on the avatar feature would be nice. Also, I'm down to averaging 5,619 posts per day today, down from 8,631 as of yesterday. Time to take it easy for a while. No one could keep up this pace.

    Yes, this system seems a little less personal. But let's give it a chance. The old software was not really capable of carrying the load of all the threads and memory needed to navigate through them and keep all the data [[including SDF Archives). If we wanted to continue to keep everything and add to it, we had to move to software with a bigger capacity and more power to navigate through it. I'm guessing that we probably were just about at the limit, so Lowell and Ralph decided to convert over, before anything would be lost from an overcapacity [[before shutdowns from malfunction would occur).

    Yes Robb & remember how we lost a wealth of information a few years back when the old server crashed. We lost a lot of great threads back then & I'd never want anything like that to happen again!

    Amen, Brother!

    We lost some fantastic threads with firsthand stories about what happened back in the day from people who are no longer with us, we lost lots of information about record companies and old groups and single artists that had hundreds of label scans, etc. We can NEVER get that stuff back. Unfortunately, we've got to move with the times.

    I'm just about the most old-fashioned person I know. And I have a terrible time trying to grasp the techniques of new technology [[we didn't even have TV, let alone computers) when I was growing up! I didn't even get a computer until 1998! I think I am the only person in The Western World that's never had a cellphone! Yet, I realise that this move HAD to be made. Lowell and Ralph are working out the kinks. They will try hard to make this a "cozy" forum. Let's give them a chance.

    douglasm here....

    So far, I like it. There's an e-z link to the old forum [[a mistake the DetroitYes changeover made was hiding the link) and this thing posts quickly, where as the old forum was near as slow as I walk. It'll just take some getting used to.

  37. #37
    I love it. So bright & clear. Most other forums that I post on are now like this.

    Ralph, can you please ask Lowell if he can offer us a black background [[skin) as well? The red and orange ones are also hard on the eyes. And, I hope he can also activate the avatar and signature features. Of course, I know we should first give him time to adress the problems of transferring the old members over.

    Thanks for all the hard work!

    Hey...I got a little twisted when I had to switch from 8-track to cassette...then from cassette to CD, but I had to handle newer technology or be prepared to ride with NO music. Change can be difficult....but we usually learn to embrace it.

    I like it. It's modern like the other message boards that I visit. I don't like the fact that the topics on the old forum could not be transferred to the new forum.

    Well, consider it a new start. Everyone gets a new lease. Everyone is cordial to each other, sidestepping the past. It could work...

    I suppose if we really wanted to revive an old thread, each participating member could, in turn, copy and paste their posts until a thread is reconstructed. All parties would have to cooperate, of course. But, that would be too convoluted.
