No more free parking? Great work with this I am sure this is not been an easy task. Also are we all new members?

Is Garage Journel now part of the same group that owns Ramcharger Central? I ask as they also just recently updated to this same forum software.
RC Central? My brother is or at least used to be a moderator there. But knowing him you probably didn't like him LOL

This is not that hugely different for me, no issue. Thanks for all you do that allows us to enjoy the site.

Ryan:
Thanks for all the hard work.
Pour yourself a tall cool one, you've earned it.

The font doesn't bother me since I'm on a desktop.
But it's easy enough to change.

Glad to to back among the Garage Gang; I was going to say Garage Guys, but that would exclude the Queen of the Retirees and others.

Every time that I go to a main forum (general discussion, free parking etc.) I get an "authentication required" table to fill in user name and password even though I am logged on. If I just hit cancel it goes away until I go to a main forum again. If I fill it out and hit OK it goes away then comes back again.
Am I the only one or is this a bug to be fixed?

I was one of the skeptical ones because of what some other forums did with the same software but ......... You get an A++++ Looks great !!!

I have to admit, this makes me really happy to read.

These kinds of things are SUPER scary to do fellas... And as that bug list gets longer, complaints roll in, man... It just feels good to be told something positive.

I've gotta lot of work ahead of me, but I am confident this gonna be pretty rad.

I'm with everyone on the font, I had to change to the stock xf 2.2 style and it is way better this way.

Not really a bug, but I do miss seeing everyone's location without having to "long mouse over" the user name.

Have to admit I had nothing to do all day with the site down. I’m happy the GJ forum is back up. Hope to learn all the twists and turns to navigate the site. LIKEs are a nice touch!

Works fine for me on iPad via chrome. Ryan, it took some getting used to but I like the new format and find very few things to criticize. Nice work, it was a nice surprise to come home and log onto the “new” GJ.

Good work Ryan.! I haven't noticed any kinks yet. It won't take long and we will all forget what the old format looked like.

I'm old , took me about 15 minutes to find everything.
I'm a Hambaphobic also , very similar.
Thanks for the effort.
Really surprised how fast you got it up and running.

Ryan, I appreciate the site and the fact of your post that started this thread. I’ve made some friends on here that I chat with more than some of my lifetime friends.
Its a great place to keep up with our goings on and to harass each other.
Its the most expensive free journal around!

Thanks for your efforts that give us a place to play.

I like what I see so far, especially the like button.

My old avatar won't fit in the circle as nice as the old format did so I had to change it.... no biggie, still playing with it.
Lost my sig picture but I had it on my confuzer so I reloaded it...be are back.
Changed my font too...better, thanks for the tip!
Missing a few picture albums but nothing I couldn't afford to loose.
No more picture albums, I guess....or I am just missing it as its hidden in the new format somewhere....

A quick warning: We are load balancing the site. As such, performance might suffer off and on through the night.

High Availability? We're in the big leagues! Well done. You deserve a pat on the back. I know all too well how painful these sort of long awaited upgrades can be.

Oh, and I for one welcome our new overlords. :)

Ryan, as a retired software developer I very much appreciate your support of GJ and understand how change can be challenging to those on the other side of the system! I'm sure I'll quote from 'The Book of Threats' some before I adjust, but adjust I will.

I have noticed that my signature is no longer evident and my location has been truncated.

Yay!
And the mobile site is GREAT.

It's going to get a lot better... Right now, we have ads popping for logged in users that should not be there... And I want to tighten things up a bit...

Tapatalk is giving me hell. They want access to your data in exchange for the migration. I am refusing... and will not do that under any circumstances. In any case, that's why the app isn't working right now. And also why the mobile look and feel is super important to me.

Cool, more ad's, just what I've always wanted. And that's after you log in... :confused:
What happen to subscribed threads, is that gone or do I just not see it?

Sometimes things are better left alone, but that's just me. Every time we change our tools or software at work we get a whole new round of bugs to fix and issues to be worked around.

Dump tapatalk... most people who like it don't really understand how it works and what it is doing. And IMO, the Xenforo mobile web experience is far better anyhow. Users can just set a shortcut for the forum on their phone home screen and they are all set.;-)
