Delete the "/forum.php" from your saved favorite or delete and re-save the bookmark and it will work fine.

The forum.php issue is now resolved, it correctly redirects to the main page.

I agree that this format is a loss for NWFC Guess it will save me some money....not buying or trading so much.

It's basically a matter of figuring out where the clickable buttons have moved. This ain't rocket science, guys. Plus it's way better on portable devices than it used to be. Resistance is futile.

I don't like the new format either, but will get used to it. I'm not going anywhere.

the only real complaints I have:

- thread/topic title font is way too large. I don't know why this bothers me, but it does. I think it's because the difference between bold and normal text in this typeface is very slim, so I don't automatically notice which topics are read/unread like on the old forum, where there was a very obvious difference between the bold and normal text.
- times new roman is an awful default font - any way to change the theme so I can select a different typeface style?
- the sidebar on the right is absolutely huge IMO, and makes the actual forum messages too narrow.

I use my iPad and the sidebar is not visible, it sticks them else ware . So all of the ads are all the way down at the bottom!! Yahoooo

 

[mancat]

I have the ads blocked on desktop (sorry, I'm never going to click on them), but the forum information table still causes everything else to shift left for the entire length of a page.

You're correct - on my Android devices, the ads all show up at the very bottom.

It's not perfect, but I can work with it.

Some of the comments are interesting. It is amusing that so many are saying, just roll over and accept it.
I don't like some of the changes. The appearance is like someone's half finished garish painting. It is not as welcoming in appearance. I don't accept this is the best the developers could do. I think it is a case of bean counters running things. Hopfully the next update will fix the lameness that currently exist in thee version.

I use to really look forward to visiting this site.
I always peruse the other "guns for sale" sites, just to see what was newly listed that day, but, I always came here to spend some quality time reading the latest posts, whether it was firearm related or not.
Now, it's seems like it's more work then pleasure following certain posts.
I miss the "Home" tab that placed the latest post on top.

I'm diggin' MTPocket's new avatar.... Those are military piss tubes!! LMAO

PuddleMonkey's avatar and signature line are pretty awesome, too!

 

[NoFlinch]

I think this format is a lot better than the old one.

It's easier to navigate.
It's easier to read.
It's easier to follow conversations.
It's easier to find what you're looking for.

It's a LOT BETTER>>>>>THANKS for all your hard work.

(oh, wait. I'm new, and never saw the old site.
Never mind......but I still like it better).

Is there a new version of Tapatalk or other app that will allow me to access the site with my iphone?

My only real complaint is that the new version is kind of slow and buggy to read on my Kindle Fire. Other than that I am already getting used to most of the changes.

 

[clearconscience]

I hate change but will get used to it. I love the site.
I just wish on reply email notifications it had the reply instead of having to go to the link and to the site to read it.

I'm going to enable this soon.

I'm still liking the new format. It's taking a little learning to get to know the new controls, but overall I really like the look and layout. And now that I understand how 'conversations' work, it's going well.

Technology march's onward.
Windows XP->Vista->7->8->8.1
Lepord->Lion->Maverick
2G->3G->4G->LTE
etc etc etc.....
version 1->2->3 etc etc....
Embrace it. It's not going to change anytime soon.
Adapt and Overcome.

 

[jluck]

I remember a dictatorship election ran on all this "change" spat....


With that said, I am past the learning curve of the new site. I like it.
