Expect ".tst," was just a test - as both were powered by vBulletin.

p.s. BTW how much time do you spend on Google?

Re: New Forum

Akan,

If you look at the Board of Directors meeting minutes in the back of your latest Corvette Restorer you’ll see that John Waggoner reported that the current DB software is obsolete, and the current server is obsolete.

I was just looking for a distributor rebuilder now that Don Baker retired.
In doing that, the new forum popped up.

FYI, I used Google images MANY times per day to explain anatomy to patients. I love it.

You and I both! I saw the new format as well

Re: New Forum

I logged into this new format, but I found it incomprehensible. I expected “latest topics” to be chronological like like the pages of the current forum, but it was a seemingly random listing of past threads. What am I missing? Does it have a section of daily responses somewhere like we have here?

I'm sure it's in testing stage right now.
It looks like it's frozen in time from a few months ago.

- Patrick Hulst,

Yes it's a work in progress. What you see is the way it's going to look when completed.

Current TDB uses vBulletin 4, which is depreciated aka manufacture discontinued and unsupported. Upgrade is mandatory to keep the server healthy and working.

Re: New Forum

Changing the back-end software and database is not an easy process. We only see the forward facing stuff, but a lot goes into the backend to make it work. Patience is the key here and I'm certain it will end up being at least as good, and more likely better, in many ways.
