SDS Posted November 20, 2017 Report Share Posted November 20, 2017 Might be around Christmas, but maybe sooner. I made the change over at TBD and it seems to be going well: https://www.twobillsdrive.com/community/ Our software here was end of lifed years ago and now it is preventing me from upgrading key server packages. So, please refrain from the if it is not broke argument. We receive no support nor any security updates either. So, with two teams on fire - it's a great time for new digs!

WildCard Posted November 20, 2017 Report Share Posted November 20, 2017 So it will look like TBD afterwards? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted November 20, 2017 Report Share Posted November 20, 2017 Honestly I'm not wild about the new software. This current one behaves in a straightforward manner on my phone. The new TBD software is clunky and slower. Again that's my experience on my Samsung S6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDS Posted November 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2017 So it will look like TBD afterwards? Kind of. It's a much larger community, so there are features implemented over there that might not translate well here. But generally yes. Honestly I'm not wild about the new software. This current one behaves in a straightforward manner on my phone. The new TBD software is clunky and slower. Again that's my experience on my Samsung S6. How would you like me to respond to this?

nfreeman Posted November 20, 2017 Report Share Posted November 20, 2017 Here's something that may or may not be fixable, and that may or may not be due to my own ineptitude, and that no one else may care about: on the new TSW, when I try to pull up all posts by a certain member, I get a list of "post previews" -- so I have to click on each one to read the post. It's much clunkier and less user-friendly than the old TSW, which gave me the output I wanted -- i.e. the full posts by that poster, which I could just scroll/page through.

PASabreFan Posted November 20, 2017 Report Share Posted November 20, 2017 I have to ask. Does the new software post-merge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LTS Posted November 20, 2017 Report Share Posted November 20, 2017 Upgrade it now... honestly. Why wait? I think you have to maximize the suffering for people when you can. By Christmas the teams could turn things around and then everyone will be mad....oh.. wait... nevermind. It'll be even more painful at Christmas time. Kind of like that time they DDOS'ed the Xbox gaming services on Christmas so all the kids with their Xboxes could not get online to play. :) Good luck.. keeping up with the security updates, etc. is important.

ubkev Posted November 20, 2017 Report Share Posted November 20, 2017 I signed into TBD for the first time in years yesterday. It was meh. I could use it fine. I suppose I'll get used to it. I've seen worse. I'm aware my opinion means nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doohickie Posted November 20, 2017 Report Share Posted November 20, 2017 (edited) I despise liking posts. One of the worst fads in social media, IMO. In the context of a forum it's better in my opinion that posting "Me too" comments. We may see fewer posts but there will be more content per post.

North Buffalo Posted November 20, 2017 Report Share Posted November 20, 2017 The look on TBD is really nice... getting used to the flow and trying to stay out of the negative name calling discussions that get me riled up, so mostly just checking content. But looks really clean and readable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eleven Posted November 21, 2017 Report Share Posted November 21, 2017 Was there not a time you could do that on here? Probably close to a decade ago now We had reddit-style upvotes and downvotes for a short while. Then it became kind of a board-wide joke to just downvote anything Liger (I think it was him) wrote, and then it got stupid from there so Scott took them away from us.

Doohickie Posted November 21, 2017 Report Share Posted November 21, 2017 Yeah, I re-cant. Likes are probably not a good idea for this crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
