How Do You Like the New Forums?

[dnyed]

Don't be shy! Tell us how you really feel!

I dig it. Lots of features that really cut down on time. And some of the tools are just neat.

It took a little to get used to it, but I think this is a pretty sizable improvement.

Well, the information is still available to be searched and viewed.

The users/threads will not be deleted, the old forums are just read only, in that you cannot respond or create a new thread there.

Do that here instead

Well why was I deleted and why are there only 24 members then???????

[CrazyJames]

It apears to be this way because due to difficulties with the old forum database, we needed to start with a freash copy.

You can still access the old posts/threads/pictures from the following address:
http://forums.newbeetle.org/index.php?s=

Once the homepage is up and running you will be easily able to search on this forum and the old one untill more content is up and running on the new one

On the surface it may have seemed like there was nothing wrong with it, but the old database as falling apart. The number of database errors I got in my e-mail every day was growing into the hundreds. Trust me, the old system was on the verge of a catastrophe.

Two very enthusiastic thumbs-up, well, 4 if you include RK! I think as people become familiar with vB3, they will like the new site even more.

Believe me, it takes a little getting used to, but you will love it more than the old forums!! And besides....better smilies!!

It's interesting. Going to take some time to get used to I appreciate all the hard work you've done though ...

Bummer about losing old threads (like car photos).

[RICO415]

We shall see.....
But I am hopeful....

[beetlegirl25]

Is there any way to change my user ID w/out having to re-register? I realized I'd like to keep my old user name - with the 25 on the end.

Confusing. LOL

Remember, they're not really lost. They're right where they always were:

Looking good so far, but wonder why all the "How-To" threads are unavailable?
