Forum Update - Test it out

[Diggin It]

Same problem with those yahoos and I can't really use it any more either.

That isn't limited to forums. I've had the same yahoo email account since 2001; they recently made changes which are forcing me to look for something different. Unlike TBN there is no place to give real feedback; you accept what they have or do without.

Switch to Gmail. Less ads and a spam filter that works...

^^ Don't get me started on THAT company either.

But this thread is about THIS board, right?

Meh, who are you going to suggest that does webmail better? Certainly not Yahoo or Hotmail. Every email provider is going to spy on you to one degree or another, you may as well go with the one that works the best.

Much like the sign in your avatar, threads have a tendency to detour over time

The desktop versions are not going away. I was just making the point that new isn't always a downgrade. Usually yes but not always.

We'll be rolling out a new format on LawnWorld in the first couple months of 2019. Design isn't finished yet.

Grit those teeth!! :laughing:

I hate mobile and I hate the move away from traditional forum software. Every site I've ever seen that focuses on mobile ends us being squished in the middle of the screen with huge white space on both sides. I use a laptop with a 17" screen sitting on a fixed platform and a remote keyboard and mouse. I can't even see these sites on a 4" screen. You have to consider that many users on this type of site may be older or have vision issue because of the work they do. We don't want to have to hold a device in one hand 6 inches from our face and try to type with a pointy stick.

Even those that have to use cell phone based web services can tether to a device with a larger screen.

The ONLY time I have ever even tried to use a mobile device for a board like this was during an extended ISP outage and it was not a pleasant experience, even with a BT keyboard.


Maybe you could tell us some of these other sites that have been assimilated so we could see what's been done?

This forum better stay full screen....... I have a new 15" laptop and use every square inch of it.

I like glazed donuts and coffee...............

I haven't paid much attention to this thread, until just now. I went to the new forum format...and i think it looks really good.

The mobile app.....is that Tapatalk? It's what I've been using, but is there another?

There is a customized version of Tapatalk available. It does not has ads and has the TBN logo.
