All,
The time has come to upgrade the forum software as it is on an old version and unsupported.

Along with the upgrade there will be a new look but functionality and everything else should be the same. I don't like change but we have no choice. The colors will roughly stay the same but some things will obviously be different.

Some will like it, some wont care one way or the other, others will hate it. More details to follow as I get them. Downtime will roughly be an hour and I will try to schedule it early morning or late at night.

I'm willing to chip in a few bucks, if the financial help is needed.

Thanks but we are good, between the sponsors and the google banners we make enough to keep the website floating.

Hi,
We are still working on this, but have expanded to the homepage and the forum. I am hoping to have all this completed within the next month or two. Stay tuned.

The upgrade is coming, I held off as long as I could. The forum will look different, but functionality should be the same but with better performance and security.

Some of you will like it, and some of you will hate it, I know this already. We have no choice as we have to get off this old version of forum software.

Is there any plan for mobile support? Its not urgent and I have no idea the amount of work/cost that would require. I will say that the forum is a little tricky on a phone to use. (But not that bad).

I would be willing to donate for mobile if it came to that. Or just in general... this site has already saved me money, time, and stress!
 
Virtually all modern software for forums is set up for mobile use. No matter which one is used, there is always a learning curve while everyone adapts.
 
I only use tapatalk. My only complaint is that I can't figure out a way to insert text in between pics.

Otherwise it is awesome. I paid for the lifetime ad free version. Well worth it.
