What happened to all my Graphics I uploaded since the time I first came here.... I don't see any attachments (get error) but I can see a few new test graphic people have used to try new feature...

Least now I found the settings to lengthen out the pages, so instead of 6 post/page I now have a bunch on one page, but I better not see any more TBN changes in the next 50 years or I'll quit........

I've been thinking the same thing. All of this time I never realized that I could load more than a few posts at a time.

Not trick picture..... JD mower died (yeah runs like a deer) while up on back property, and there is a low home made bumper in front of deer, discovered when I was going to just put front wheels of deer in bucket and drag deer to shop that it actually wedged deer's bumper under bucket lip... And I was able to lift it as you see in pic.... And yes deer weighs in at 520 pounds and yes MF does require ballast weight to lift the deer....

With out ballast weight...

Once you select posts, this button should appear. Click it and you can add the selected quotes.

I would like the ability to insert or leave out my signature restored.

After short posts I consider signatures clutter.

Why are some of you guys panicking so hard? You'll get used to it before you know it.

I learned early on I could get "used to" things. Hit your self on the head every week day morning with a 4x4 and you'll look forward to the weekend when you use a 2x4.

Our old software was extremely out of date. The developer sold it off and the new owner retired it years ago. We were painted into a corner, unable to upgrade our server hardware or software and patch known security holes, because the old software wouldn't work on new server software. We limped it along for several years after the writing was on the wall.

To put it bluntly, we were a sitting duck website. One hack or hard drive failure and we would have had to perform this upgrade in an emergency manner, probably lose a lot of data (think about having 550,000 permanently broken images) and have several days of downtime. Since our database has been migrated several times already, the artifacts left behind from those past migrations became problems, which took the better part of a year for us to sort out and finally get a reliable path to this latest migration. Otherwise it would have been upgraded long ago.

Another big issue was that we basically had to stop all development of new features due to the old software being abandoned. So that meant other parts of our website started to fall apart, like the articles, classifieds, and reviews, because they were all custom built and tied into the old software. Now we can regroup and begin developing new features again.

I think once everybody gets used to it they will find that we didn't lose any features but we gained a bunch that will be very useful.

It will be different, but you seem to be amenable to small changes and

Took me about 10 tries before I realizes there is pop up buttons and various windows you have to follow and you have to force the issue.... Does not always seem to work as intended.... To many floating windows my browner does not seem to deal with very well...Or forum codes is a little sketchy...

Adding a new photo to a post is easy. I can't find a way to pick out one of my old photos (already uploaded to the site) and insert in a new post. I am sure there is a way, I just can't find it.

Well imagine if you took your truck to the mechanic and he told you that it needed a new transmission but they didn't make them anymore and one day it would give out and you'd be stranded and forced to buy a new truck on the spot. Then factor in that it's not just any truck but a commercial truck that you use for your business and you have a whole host of people who rely on that truck. Hypothetically, would you rather bite the bullet and get a new truck that would give you reliability, better performance, and years of service, in exchange for controls that are slightly different? Or would you just keep that old truck and hope it doesn't give out, despite the mechanic's advice?

I did not see the TBN "truck" as anywhere close to breaking down. To the contrary, it seemed to be running quite smoothly! Replacing it with a problem plagued Tier IV "truck" is a better idea? Many of us don't want ANY Tier IV chit!

Are you a website mechanic?

Click your avatar on the upper right.
Click "Your account".
Click "Attachments"

That opens the Attachment Browser:

Then look for the old photo.

What do I do next? I did that and found the old photos. How to get one of them into a new post?

Find the photo, right click on the title and copy. Then paste into the new thread/post using the Insert Image button, the same as you would a new image. Use the link or 'By URL' option.
