Too old

[AZ Jim]

I guess I am just too old for this kind of change in what was my favorite hang out. I'll not rush off immediately but I am considering departure. No offense intended to Matrix. I know his heart is in the right place but I see this new format as "work" and I come here to relax...

I don't like it, either. But then, I usually don't like change. Try to consider that it will probably be uncomfortable only for a short time, then you'll get used to it....at least that's how it is with me.

After exploring around a bit at "Forums" and at my "Profile" to see what's still here, it seems okay to me now in spite of my initial confusion. I'm getting it.

Come on Jim, this is easy, you will be running
around this new site like you did in the old
one, in no time at all.

Mike.

Oh, for pete's sake. Just give it a little time and get used to it. The old forum software was out of date and too difficult to administer any longer, so as with everything in the computer age... "upgrades."

I’m trying to like it, but it is not as easy as the old one. Can’t enlarge the type on my iPad, it is as large as it will go, Like Jim said, I come here to relax and enjoy the conversations. Now, I don’t know where to go. I’ll be back later after I take a couple of Tylenol..... trying to read the type.

It only hurts for a little while...

Jim.

You are doing fine.

I've seen some of your posts and you started this new thread, how much more is there to learn?

Give it a month and everything will fall into place.

There's a gajillion emojis here!

@Pappy, try this

 

[Floridatennisplayer]

I only use iPads and don’t notice any difference. Just a prettier looking site. Perhaps it’s different with a computer but I dumped computers years ago.

 

[Rich29]

I'm liking the upgrade.

 

[Pappy]

I’ve enlarged my type...no difference on this site. I’m sure I’ll get the hang of it soon and then I’ll quit bitching.

C'mon Jim, most of us don't like change, but you gotta keep the old grey cells oiled, and embrace it. Just take it slowly, and you'll get there, and remember we're all here to help each other if we get stuck!!

Anyway..what would you do without all of us..huh?...answer the question..

 

[Uptosnuff]

Well, this was a surprise when I logged in today. I do think the site looks prettier, but I really don't like the font in the posts. I use Firefox and did zoom the font up to 120% which helped, but still REALLY don't like the font. Hard to read.

I see that I can change the font, though. Is there a way I can make arial my permanent font in all my posts? At least I can read it easier.

 

[Buckeye]

I haven't had any issues with the new site. I don't post a lot on here, and almost never start a new thread, so that may explain things.

Good question!! Maybe @Matrix will know

Good question!! Maybe @Matrix will know

I have posted the question on her post. I really hope we can.

To those of you that don't like this new format, be patient. I'm guessing some of you didn't know and had to learn the format Senior Forums was in previously but you learned in spite of it. I've been fooling with computers long enough to know that with computer software, it has to be updated sometime. If it isn't, eventually it will quit working and would you rather this forum do that? I don't know about forum software but I'm assuming it would be the same. Nothing stays the same forever, including us.

 

[Marie5656]

I have not had a lot of time yet today to really give the site the once over. It will take some getting used to, as I have never used this format before. But, I feel that I am attached enough to the place that I do not want to leave any time soon. I have made good friends here, and always learn new stuff.
So, I guess I will stay for now.

"his"

Yep. And just like so many "upgrades," it feels much more like a "downgrade."

Ooooooops, sorry. I had no idea.

 

[hollydolly]

Ooooooops, sorry. I had no idea.

Matrix is Admin and he's a HE...Seabreeze is our Moderator and she is very much a SHE!!...
