This new format is awful

[anywoundedduck]

No way to look at the latest "today" postings, impossible to relate to this new format. If you are looking to kill GIM2, this is a good way to do it.

Did Janet Napolitano have any input into this new design? Maybe Eric Holder?

I like it, It's a challange.

[anywoundedduck]

Well thank you Goldhedge. I would have given you a Thanks, but their ain't none to be had.

[anywoundedduck]

Sorry for the mispelling of "there". I tried to edit it, but there isn't any "edit" feature to be had.

[andial]

Hold on, I'm figuring something out here.

The GIM2Silver skin works just the same as it always did. My bookmark is set to GIM2Silver, and I did not notice any changes. Try selecting the GIM2Silver skin at the bottom left of the page and see if that solves your problems.

weatherman is correct. Just select the skin you want at the bottom left. I went with simple purple. Totally awesome!!!!!

I thought the site was broken, it is so bad.

Go to the bottom and you can switch formats.

Thanks for the tip. The new default setting of black was horrible. Now everything is back to normal, once I selected GIM2Silver.

Sorry for raising hell.

I guess I can turn this thread off.

Please understand what we are trying to do here,

accepting the laws of unintended consequences,

while doing the update, we also figured it would be a good time to add the mobile application, to make it easier for those using mobile devices to access gim.

the mobile ap decided it liked the black format, and hijacked it for its own purposes.

that is why simple black is screwed up,

so now I need to go find a replacement for simple black,

hang in there guys, still need to sort out other bugs also,

it happens every time with a vbulletin update

I like that one. I'm currently using the purple, which I like as well.

[Scorpio]

fyi,

I am still going to maintain multiple types,

just looking for one that will be the default skin now that the mobile has taken over the black

Thanks. I was using black all this past year and managed to switch back this morning after feeling that the silver was too bright. The black is much more soothing.

the edit post is working for me,

anyone else still having trouble with it????

[Scorpio]

the mobile ap is going to have a bunch of shortcuts or dropped features ?????

consequently, we all need to get off the simple black theme, and I believe all will return to normal on all features for everyone.

now my question also becomes,

for anybody with a mobile device, how does it look?

Is it working aok or???

Sky had the idea to add this a long time ago, in order to facilitate ease of access for those on ipods, pads, etc. It is a good idea, we just need to work out the kinks.

the regular web page does ok on my phone, but it wouldn't log me in. The mobile site did, but sent me to a weird page after the login redirect. Telling me there was already an account by that name. There was a link on the bottom for the forum and that worked. I'll use the mobile site today and see how it goes.
