The New RSWarrior.com

Welcome to the new RSWarrior.com!

A lot of time and work went into this upgrade; it has been in the works for 2+ years! There are a lot of new features and enhancements, but there are also some features we have all grown to love that are no longer here.

Lots of hard work and I know you're proud! Looks stunning, but  a quick look around seems Like its going to be a more "a specific interest" type of site now instead of a casual browsing, come see whats new.  Still lots of work and a great job! Are we going to have to re-do sigs also?

This is nice.  It's going to take some getting used to.  But that's like anything new.

Site looks good, thanks for all you do. I am sure we will adapt quickly

fcwarrior said:

I thought the 'old' version was incredibly good so am totally lost and don't see the improvements yet. I'll be patient and get used to it since it's still, I'm sure the best forum on the net. Can't wait for the background colour change like last update

Carknee

This will take a lot of getting used to.One quick thing I noticed is that you have to clich through a hundred pages to get to someone in the middle of the gallery.Is there an easier way?

March 16, 2008 6:51 PM
 

fcwarrior said:

I would hope the galleries will be alphabetical as before since it's a huge task to click randomly through. Ah well, early days yet.....I'm sure this will be worked through.

Love it. Great move

March 16, 2008 9:50 PM
 

Bob Cody said:

ditto the comments on the (new) Gallery... it you know the owners name/handle, it'll still take a long time to find it with just page numbers...

Also can't find the PM section... gone?

Bobby said:

Looks good. Gonna take a little time to get used to it though.

I can only imagine the time, energy, patience, ambition and high level of expertise it took to attempt such an incredible production as this - - looks state-of-the-art to me!

WOW!! talk about teaching an OLD DOG new tricks!!

Great job!!! Now all I have to do is figure it all out..

Thanks for all the time and effort to Keep this the best forum on the net!

RobRiguez said:

The BIG question were all asking is whether we will get some of the old features back? I'm assuming that we will but not right away. Could you please post up when you have a chance to tell us what we have lost forever and what we will eventually get back?

March 17, 2008 4:40 PM
 

knyland said:

So Lost but I guess we will all figure it out together.

March 17, 2008 6:42 PM
 

siradude said:

I like it!

Are the active topics gona be sorted by forums like before? This is REALLY!!! important for me.

This is the area I look at most, and I guess also by others. I would like to know if the active post im gona look at is in Tech, Naything goes... before I click it!

Otherwise, good improvements.

warpack said:

Not sure if I like it, may just take some time to figure out. Appreciate everything though

March 17, 2008 11:05 PM
 

70rsss said:

I appreciate the hard work but I thought the old layout was great and don't see where this is an improvement. Maybe it's just me?

Time said:

Very different Carknee , appreciate the work you've put in but it has a cold feeling to it. May take alot of getting used too.

March 18, 2008 6:13 AM
 

62Rampsidekid said:

I too appreciate the hard work but it's hard to imagine topping the old site!  I hope it will grow on me but so far I would rather have the old site back!!  It's just not as fun as the old site.  Definately haven't been spending anywhere near as much time on the new site as I did the old.

warrior-addict said:

 lam  lost  But willing to spend the time to learn the new site.  Best from on the web.   Only one thing where are the PM's  

        Thanks for all the hard work !!!!

March 18, 2008 8:25 PM
 

Sangathor said:

For all those looking for the PM's just click on your name in the upper right hand corner of any screen, it will open your profile and show you many handy and helpful links. Such as, "show all PM's"  For those who are afraid of breaking a nail by clicking to much, your profile page also shows you all your unread PM's at a glance.

I'm sure Carknee will add a direct link, like the old site had, when he has a chance.  Most of the common old features are still here plus a whole host of others.  

Click on a few things, you'll figure it out.  If you can't just ask.

March 18, 2008 10:29 PM
 

Sangathor said:

BTW, I just noticed you can also click on "inbox" in the far upper right to go directly to you PM inbox.

tostyj said:

First off, thanks for the all the hardwork Sean.  This is pretty much the only forum I've ever participated in, so I learned how to do everything on the old site.  I didn't like the new site at first and wasn't crazy about learning a bunch of stuff all over again, but with the help of moderators, members, and some trial and error...I'm learning.  Like others, I'm hoping that some of the old features that we've lost are able to be incorporated into the new format...or if they already are, I hope I find them :)

okocim said:

So far I can't find anything, well with time it will get better I think.

A lot of hard work is evident!  What is a RSS feed anyway?

DarkWarrior said:

Looks great!! It'll take some time to get used to though.

JPWARRIOR said:

Finding some features now but still haven't figured out why the smileys won't work for me. Thanks for the effort. It's a little tough on me but I'll get used to it in time.

Hang in there guys, it won't be too long before this is second nature and we've forgotten about all this.

I still can't figure out how to start at the beginning of a post. I'm limited to 15 minutes a day 3 days a week on this site so I doubt I'll ever figure it out.

fpc187 said:

Having some real trouble using this new site. I am noticing myself avoiding the site to save myself the aggervation  and frustration. I hope a lot changes will be made to improve it. Just seemed that the old site was easier to navigate and way more user friendly. Everything seems to be so hidden, just don't have the time to learn all over. I aways said rswarrior had the best and most user friendly forum I ever visited but know seems to be like every other forum. Sorry to bash all your hard work, but I am very disappointed with the change.

It's getting better by the day, just a matter of getting use to it.

Thanks for a great job Carknee.

SofaKing said:

I know alot of har work went into it! But the old site was way more user freindly

April 21, 2008 1:23 PM
 

Igmaster said:

I don't mind it, but you need to make it easier to upload photos.  People don;t publish all their photos.  it shouldnt be this hard
