We appear to have forum software enhancement

And not even an announcement. But it is noticed.
Now, if we could only get a link-back to the forums on the bottom of the thread like on the top of the page {i.e. the "Shopforum >Tech Info.....>Diesel Discussion}. One of the only good things about Benzworld, link backs at the bottom of a thread so you don't have to go back to the top.
I'm not complaining, I'm just sayin'..........

That is us advertising to others instead of others advertising to us.

The discussion thread is here: Major Shop Forum software upgrade

Overall I like it, but the View Profile page lacks any useful information right away.

The administrator did announce the update at the top of the page. I noticed it last night.

Jimmy, you already have what you seek.

Down at the very bottom of the page.........on the right side of the screen...........is a field called "forum jump". You can return to the first page of any forum via this link.

When viewing a User's profile, I liked having the option "view posts by a user" and "view threads started by a user". I know you can click on their user name on the forum for a drop down menu that has the "view posts" option, but not the "view threads started by..." option.
So either I just haven't found where that is, or it is a major loss in my opinion....

**Not complaining on the new upgrades as I appreciate them, just giving feedback....**

**edit**
nevermind. Found it under "statistics".....

Nobody wants to be my friend. Reminds me of facebook.

We should get into little clicks now and tear people down who are not just like us.

Showing our age(s)

Adapt here,adapt there,adapt... adapt everywhere.
The old format had become so...so...intuitive...My hands moved over keyboard
(In the correct places) as I thought.

'Only adaptation they'll have "Hell on Earth" with me over ...Is the one when the
idiots (in Washington or where ever we are eventually "Ruled" from) want to
install an RFID chip between Our ears for Their convenience...And don't kid
yourself...That day will come in our lifetimes.

[The new picture format interface is kinda neat]

I'm a curmudgeon. I don't like new stuff. I like the old ways . . .
