I survived the past 12 hours without TGO by...

Hoping that we weren't getting girly man software. I lost. We did. Yuck. It is perfect for "Rainbow Day" here in Nashville, though.

Got married. Well, rehearsed it anyway. Crazy the things you do when TGO is down. If it goes down again I may have a few kids.

[TGO David]

I cheated on you and went to the S&W forum.

The S&W forum is a dirty whore!

Reworked my investments and made $3,000,000 in the stock market!

Remind me to have you take care of that for me the next time I do this.

Now I'm trying to figure out the new software... and so far not liking it.

( Like the look, just not so wild about the functions just yet... )

Honestly those were my initial thoughts the first time I saw vBulletin 4. Give it a chance. It takes a little time but once you figure out where everything is again, it actually makes more sense logically than the way it used to be laid out.

I yelled at the wife and kids.

They'll never demand you spend less time on the Internet again.

Gonna take some new muscle memory, but it all seems to be there except for the home page. Looks like the data migration was 100%. Kudos to David for that.

Data retention was certainly top priority. It was also the easier part.

Surf from bed and you can do both. Just turn the webcam off first.

And I thought it was the end of the world. phew!

Yep, I almost called you for a little anxiety sharing (now where's that damn smiley)

The problem I'm having with the new software is that it seems to take more motions, clicks, or scrolls to do the same things as the previous incarnation did.

Now to get to the usual "advanced" screen to respond to a post, you can't just click "quote" and go on, but must click both "quote" and "go advanced" to get to where just "quote" used to take you...

At least that's how it seems so far. I could be missing something though.

( I've never used the "quick reply" window, btw. )

Hit the "reply with quote" button. Hitting it twice will take you to Advance.

That's still twice as much work... * looks for "lazy bastard" smilie *

( Thanks, that does help. )

Now, THAT's funny! :D

[strickj]

The only flaw I've seen so far is the "top" button not working.

I went and checked out Tennessee Gun Country in Clarksville. Fondled a lot of guns I would like. Bought a gun safe for the wife's car.

It's not like I have a choice, is it?

I mean, you're not gonna put it back the way it was if I don't like it, are ya?

I first sat down in front of a computer early in 1986... I've seen A LOT of software since then, and seen it change a bunch of times, so I'll likely manage just fine.

( I started off with AutoCad ver. 2.0 and Lotus... and a bunch of other dinosaur programs that are long since dead and turning to crude oil. )

It's just gonna take somewhere between a week and a month of cussin'... but I'll eventually get there.

Newboy!! I was writing Fortran programs on punch cards in the late 60's.

I've seen those too, though I've never worked on 'em.

The state was still using punch card machines as late as 1989 or 90.

( Most of the folks here would probably themselves to if they had to go back to using DOS. )

Again? I remember the first time I saw you do that (last December).

Just remember, Santa IS real...if YOU believe it.

Thanks for the painful reminder, back to the fetal position...

I crawled back into the coolness of my last winters den, ate some fresh blackberries, and took a long pre-hibernation nap....

Now I come out to find that David has done a most wonderful job of reconfiguring my toys!

Good job, Dave...you must have worked your buttocks off, in the last 24 hrs.

Now...as other's have said....I must practice my compentency skills on this newfangled contraption.

Dang it, my old spellchecks not working! Oh well, maybe it's wright.

This new layout really hurts my eyes/head for some reason...I hope it changes...maybe its just because i was used to the old setup but this seems overly complicated kind of like BMW's IDrive.....its also....ugly imho.

[hipower]

Sleep...spider solitare...read some Tom Kratman/Caliphate. Love the slide graphic, btw.

[eapking]

Hung out on another forum.

I like the upgrade here. Nice looking. Good job David.
