I appreciate the effort, timing and advance notice so I can try to fill the void!

Thanks for the heads up and for doing the upgrade/maintenance to start with. Appreciate it.

Thanks for your time working on it tonight!

Maybe I'll check the "Convince me to hammock" thread on WB.

Guess I'll go hang in the back 40 then. Or watch more Shug videos...

Like others, thanks for the time and effort you and all the mods put in. Gonna be some of the longest hours of my life, sorta like my wedding, chin up and things will get better once it is done. Or so they say.

Here's a little heads up. The top navigation bar that everyone is use to using on these forums is going to change a bit. There is nothing I can do to keep it the same. I have tried to simplify it as best I could. Those of you that use the WhiteBlaze web site will know what I am talking about. This is the way the navigation bar is going to look now. I have also included an attachment showing the new look.

Let me explain a little about the new navbar tabs. First it was not my choice to change the navigation bar. This software upgrade is over five years overdue. Progress has to move forward. The upgrade will also get rid of a lot of possible potential spots where we could get hacked and should make the Moderators and Admins lives a lot easier. I think once you give it a change and learn your way around it will come natural to you also.

With the upgrade a lot of things have been categorized under different tabs now. For example the Membership list not falls under the FORUMS tab and under COMMUNITY. I know that this is going to be awkward at first and some will complain about this and a few other things that use to be easily accessible in the old navigation bar.

I could add a crap load of tabs to make all these show up but there are a few downfalls to this. Those using smart phones and the browsers on their smart phones, will not be able to fit all the tabs on their screen. This would also be a problem with users that have their resolution set low on their desktops or laptops. To make it easy for now I have added the ODDS & ENDS tab with a drop down menu with what I thought would be a lot of the things that you would want quick access to.

This is just a heads up. Please give the software a good time to try and get yourself use to it.

Thank you
