Not sure if I like the new style. The Ford Barn - Powered by vBulletin

It's very HAMBenesque. I think that a lot of the "older" users that frequented the old Ford Barn will be turned off by the new layout and design. It might prove to be too complicated to use.

 

Hmmm Just what I need. Another web site to spend time on! These things are addicting!

 

Just registered on the New Ford Barn. Thanks for the heads up.

Just my opinion but quality of discussions at fordbarn went downhill a few years ago when a bunch of grouchy "original/restorationists" took it over. Quality of posts was replaced by quantity - and the in-crowd could discuss OT items, but hammered anybody else that asked an honest question by mistake.

Personally I hope for better things now.

 

it was so simple.one click and you were in.now its the same as the rest.

 

well if it's like the sammich site i won't waste my time .... i'll get banned from there to for defending others and asking questions pertaining to cars and trucks , voicing my opinion , and telling the mod what an idiot he is .............................

 

I agree, some of the old codgers could get snippy if they didn't think you didn't know as much about flatheads as they did. There's a lot of wasted bandwidth on silly posts once they figured out how to post pictures.


Kevin, you just have to learn to behave yourself.

I personally like the new format. I hated not being able to preview and edit your posts. I had to double post many times when my posts didn't come out like I thought they would. I think the new format is a lot easier than the old, it's pretty much the same as FTE. I don't really care if it resemble other sites, the main point is the exchange of information.

 

Count me in.

 

I hope the classifieds are easier to navigate .

 

Hell if I did.t have to run aroung with about half you guys I wouldnt - what they pay me hardly makes it work it.

 

The format is just like the hamb, but I like it better - its much easier to use now.

 

As stated, the format is like the HAMB. It will take time for some people to get used to it. It's pretty easy to navigate. One big plus will be the search function. The old search function was very ineffective. Lots of valuable information to "mine for" on Fordbarn!
This forum could take some lessons from the HAMB or Fordbarn in areas such as classifieds and picture posting. It's just so much user friendly "over there". Even I can do it, and I'm not even a cave man!

 

yep on the classifieds . i've complained a couple of times . it was much easier when it was the old way broken down into the groups according to the forums , that way we could find what we want without having to scour through everything else from all forums . last post i said that it was a cluster / pain in the **** got deleted so ........................ bob outside of some occassional off the wall comments i pretty much behave myself unless i'm provoked . on sammich i got provoked . even asked the fella from 'round here if he wanted to meet and discuss his " issues " with me face to face . i can take being made fun of cajoled , and such , but when it's time for me to return it don't get p-ss- with me as you can't take it . and even though we have our disagreements here , light vs. darkside , we do not jump on each others butts or make really nasty comments about how anothers vehicle looks , and we , even though we can and do have our dislikes , still welcome all to this site . sammich doesn't .

 

well i went over and registered , and i'll lurk a bit , but i seen jalopy journal listed i geuss as one of their other sites .................... wonder how long this is gonna last . yes i am cynical !!!!!!!!!!! and sarcastic .................

 

Jalopy Journal = HAMB
