I used the desk top site version of GJ on VB, never used Tapatalk. ..XF is so much more friendly with the desktop version.Thank god for the ability to request the desktop site on phones.

But is everything there ? Since Ryan isn't using a View All option as the bandwidth costs too much, he has increased posts per page to 40 from the VB version of 25 (IIRC). This would account for the smaller total page count.
Do the math Doug, page count x post per page. Im pretty sure we're good with no losses.

After playing with it a bit I am getting used to it. It does look good and very modern.
appreciate the hard work Ryan and all that make this place what it is. I only come to this forum and a Harley forum and I know the Administration and moderators do a great thankless job so Thank you.

I think the new format looks great! It’s clean, and bright, and fast as hell! Thank you for the upgrade.

I like the new site..
I have been unable to find my photo albums either. I rely on them for my photo hosting here. The photo's are showing up in posts I think but not being able to find the photo album I cannot use the photo stored there in a new post. Another feature of the old software was the ability to see posts started by me. I can see all posts though.
Any way thanks for the new software and I'm sure that it will become comfortable to me in time.

no neat sig line

I will look into photo albums… I know the data is still there.
As for your threads. Check it out:

You will find your old photos here:

Only problem I have is when I click on a thread I have not read yet, is that it doesn't take me to the first message but to some random post so I have to scroll to the top to see the first post in the thread.

It’s probably coming, but if the there was a “dark mode” style available select to make the forum white text on black background, it would be perfect IMO.

Damn, my quote button not working with Tapatalk, I may have to give it up.
Anyway, Ryan, maybe you need a bigger ban hammer.........

At 76 I can now read posts from behind my keyboard (it's on a drawer-thing). I also really like the highlight/quote feature -- that is beyond cool.

The 'like' feature is also cool. I can let someone know I stopped by for a visit without having to type a message.

I'm really glad I didn't post my first impression. Didn't recognize anything, didn't understand anything but every time I visit it grows on me. Thank you Ryan!
It's like rice. If you've only ever eaten Uncle Ben's, Basmati and Jasmine tastes terrible.

Well Ryan, so far....not too bad. No one likes change, but....it’s ok. Sure is ‘white’ though...

Your font tweaks are moving in the right direction on the readability. Thanks.

Great job!!! Many people have no idea how much work is involved. There will always be a learning curve when it comes to changes to sites.

Where is the Thread Search function? Not [Search forums]. I see that. You used to be able to search inside a single thread on keywords. Am I just not seeing it? Or is that no longer supported?

Thanks! That's cool. It knows if you're in a thread or not and won't give you the "This thread" option unless you're in a thread.
Sorry for the double-tap.

not sure of the change...it is VERY slow and using a Kindle tablet I am getting "too much memory" errors...I may be leaving because of it
no one is forcing you to stay here if you're not comfy...
I noticed. I like it better. It's super-legible. I might actually start using this as my desktop font.

I have to sincerely say Thank You for providing Us with The Garage Journal Forum.. The variety of topics, and the clean cut manner in which discussions are conducted is much appreciated. I recall the Great Northern Railway Depot Agent using a telegraph, and local phone calls being connected thru the Local Operator. Time hasn't stood still, and technology upgrades have occurred regularly. Thank You for Your commitment and efforts in keeping GJ up to date.
I use an Ipad along with my PC, the site is VERY fast on the Ipad! Huge improvement. Don't have a Kindle to test...
Thanks for your hard work for continuing to support this site. I spend time over at greeentractortalk and they switched over also so I knew what to expect. This is much better.

Clear the cache on your Kindle browser and close all unnecessary tabs. The site runs flawlessly on my 7 year old Samsung Galaxy S5 phone, so I don't see how it could be an issue on your Kindle unless it's positively ancient.

Don't forget you can also change the zoom factor on your web browser.
I'm running about 85% and the font size is perfect for me.
