Sorry but the new layout is rubbish. I cant see the benefit to it ...
Dont understand me wrong but why is it necessary the change a running system completely - especially the layout ? Yes , you have to go with the new technologies but why no overall main page anymore ?
Not sure if I'll stay with the Forum
Make it fun & remember the only thing certain in life is CHANGE. Strive to be happy :-)

Some people don't have a clue how time consuming and hard it is to change to a new platform when the old one is no longer supported.

I also want to say thanks to George and Debbie for the tireless wok they do for the De Tomaso community. As with any upgrade there will be some teething issues and so far George has been responsive to address feedback. I am confident over time we as users will become more familiar with the platform as well as it developing to be more user friendly and aesthetically pleasing.

As I was part of a team who was working replacing a platforms to newer levels I know how time-consuming and work this is. Also spending hours and hours creating a user friendly version not to overwhelming members with the new layout.
However we were listening to our members and tried not to change to much in details which results in stable communication and slightly increasing of members today.
Again, the technical improvent continues and you have to follow the so called new innovations (doesn't matter if you like it or not) but it's really necessary to change it completely?
I am sure a lot of members wish a similar Forum overview back as we had previously. Assuming that this will keep people more open to changes and will highly appreciated.

Well gosh, hate to see anyone leave because of the update. Keep in mind if you were to join other forums, the Lamborghini Forum for example, they have different ($$$) levels of membership after your free week look-a-round. No freebie's over there. Rubbish!??? Little harsh, no? Maybe you can help out! Poor George 'n Debbie do months of hard work only to get complaints from you and Joules, who says he 'Doesn't care much for it'.
Right - I have to correct myself. We are old enough to communicate in a proper way and I am also requesting the same in our other forum. So - my apologies - I may was too emotional when I wrote the comment.
But I still believe that some of the members missing a overall Forum page , so its worth thinking about an idea coming close to this topic ...
Sharkey, I simple expressed an opinion and in another post recognized the effort George puts in, but if no one provides input then it is assumed everyone is happy and nothing changes. This should be expected to be an iterative process IMO, but if you have a vendor banner support then I humbly accept your opinion should sway more.

I'll bet you it gets done:-)
well I'm an ancient sod and hard to please, but the first thing I did here on the new look was try and post a pic, I did and it worked, thats the first one since 2013 I think.
Chuck and others have posted them for me. Getting to know the new forum will take me a good bit but grateful for all of it the knowledge out there is manifold and the efforts of George will never be fully appreciated because he makes it all look so easy!! I know it isn't. NEWS Flash, tomorrow I will be driving the red tomato, 3840 down from Manchester to The National exhibition centre in Birmingham, where its on the Detomaso Drivers club stand for the biggest show of the year, weather forecast is wicked, with lots of rain, will put up some pics after the show, best Pete
Red tomato wow! Watch out for the Florida Orange & the yellow banana! lol
