Again, why should I have to go to the Archives to see old posts?

I thought this was supposed to be an improvement.


The way I understand it, the old database of posts proved impossible to transfer over to the new format. Over the next few days, I will add a sticky to each topic pointing to the old archived topic so things will be easier to find.

Much of the improvement is technical in nature and have to do with the ability to add new features (like the blogs for example) and other improvements. I know change is hard, but give it a chance.

And years of bookmarks are worthless now?

Not really - simply replace the "www" with "archive" - example:

http://www.mylargescale.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=45862

becomes:

http://archive.mylargescale.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=45862

Dwight,


 


Thanks for the explanation.


 


Best regards,

Uh oh.....now what? I'm trying to keep up with the latest delivery information, arrivals, and photos of the Bachmann K27....now I don't have a clue at all of what is going on, and have lost EVERYTHING I had on any of it! HELP! Thanks.

Rick, you have lost nothing.. all the old posts are still there. and as for "keeping up with the latest"..the "latest" hasnt been posted yet! because it hasnt happened yet..as soon as it happens, "the latest" will be posted HERE, in this new forum, you will miss nothing. the only difference is the OLD info on the K27 is now archived..its still there if you want to go back and read anything, and honestly, its no harder now to go back and read old posts than it was before this upgrade...its takes only two extra clicks of the mouse than it did before..then you are back in the old forum, and you can look for old posts the same way as you always did.. and now new conversations will continue here..just like nothing happened. it will be just as easy to keep up with "the latest" as it was before.. Scot

So I guess I am just dumb or something because I still don't get it.


How do I get to the old posts?


 


I come to this forum first,  then I type in something like www.archive/mylargescale.com and hit enter?


And that is supposed to be easier?


 


And what is a blog?  I guess I have made it through 60 some years of life without knowing what it is, so am I really missing something?


 


Why can't there just be a button at the top for Archives, like there is for Articles, Builders Logs, etc.


 


It is going to take me some time to like this website.
