Hi Wayne!

There hasn't been any changes to the site since we changed over to the new forum back in March.

The layout and tools in the new forum are a little different than the old forum. But it just takes a little getting used to. Once members are familiar with the new forum, it's actually better than the old one.

Some people may be more comfortable with the old forum, but unfortunately there is no going back. The old forum software was corrupted and unrepairable. The software was very old by software standards (5 to 10 years old) and fixes for it were no longer available.

If you look at the attached pic, the links you're looking for are circled in red. They're at the top of the page in the purple stripe, under the banner ad. The links include:

User CP (control panel)
Photo Gallery
FAQ
Members List
Calendar
New Posts
Search feature (pull down menu)
Quick Links feature (pull down menu)
Dealer Listings
My Recent Topics (pull down menu)
Log Out


The purple stripe at the bottom of each page contains some lesser used links including "Archive". The archive contains older threads that don't appear in the active forums.

Hope this helps.

The section you have circled in red WAS NOT on my screen. I found the link at the bottom and logged out. Logged back in and it was there. A glitch in the system?

I don't think the photo gallery strip was there either, but I don't remember now.

I did not. If I have a picture uploaded to photobucket, I insert the URL link between those tags then?

Is there somewhere to click on the SIGPIC tags to get them to show up? Then do I insert
[ IMG]http://i445.photobucket.com/albums/qq179/domay11/Lights/Monte_Footer_2.png[/IMG ]
inside of them?
