Upgrade is over. This is how the forums will look from now on until further notice from Mark.
Thanks
Steve

I guess Stimpy will just have to use darker colors

U & me 2!

Sorry about my impatience Mark, but I am a creature of habit.

To Whom It May ConcernIncluding jon & Robb)

This creature of habit really hates to START BACK ALL-THE-WAY-FROM-ZERO relearning a site I have ALREADY MASTERED more than 2 years ago!!!!!Jon, I AM VERY MUCH WITH YOU ON THIS as I, too, am a "CREATURE OF HABIT", whether "SOLITARY HABIT" OR "WHATNOT"!!!

Unlike you jon, I am not so apologetic nor am I making any attempt at being so tactful as you in expressing my "TOTAL DISMAY" with this latest Broke Straight Boys's rendition of "NEW COKE"!!! I had thought for many years now, that "NEW COKE" was a "failed experiment brought on by poorly researched marketing" and went the way of "OTHER DINOSAURS" like the "EDSEL" OR "ENRON" OR TV's unemployed child star known as "URKEL"! (See accompanying picture below)

I realize a lot of work has gone into this new format, but I am still looking for the "LIKE" button for my much preferred"older forum-format version". I guess Broke Straight Boys-2.5 has now evolved to the Broke Straight Boys-10 forum-format version, whether we much like it or not!!!!


Sincerely trying to take "these dam lumps" only "one version" at a time,



Stimpy

Hey JLipps. Try going up to "quick links" and clicking on "Today's Posts", I think that is what used to be "New Posts" in the old format.

I am with you on the changes, I have my fingers crossed and a prayer chain started, in hopes that they are going back to the old color scheme.

Big Brother has spoken. Long live the revolution.

To Whom it May Concern - Please remember this is not BSB TV, neither is it Just4u or whatever they call it - it's Broke Straight Boys - a site that regulars have supported for years. Stuffing something down ones throat to paying members is tantamount to business suicide. I implore that you revisit your decision to stick with this format.

I thought I had accidentally logged into the BSB TV forum. LOL One of my only complaints about the change is that there seems to be alot of wasted space between posts. An optical illusion? But I'm sure we'll get the hang of this and it will seem like normal fairly soon.

having luddite roots, i share your concerns. however, the same company that tried change with the edsel, tried change with mustang, twice!
the new coke was a silly idea that if you made something closer to your leading rival, you will widen your market.

some change after all is said and done can be seen as a good thing. some change grows out of silly ideas.
almost everything come down to this: that which does not learn, perishs!
philosophy and marketing aside, if it hurt my eyes to read the type on the screen, then the number of times i will try to read something is greatly reduced.
edsel or mustang! does it come in any other color than bright white?

I was not trying to be a pissy queen. I just recently started using all the features of the forum, and now it is all changed. Its not that I am opposed to change, I just have a hard time learning how to navigate the internet. I am a busy person and don't really have time to be learning about a new format. I love coming home from a stress filled day, and come to my PC and get onto the forum, a place I have come to know well. Now, I fear I will be more stressed trying to figure out this new format. So, for me, if I can't figure it out, then I just avoid it. I hope not, lol, as the forum is why I stay on Broke Straight Boys We shall see.
