OK, OK. Yes! I will admit it.

About twice a year I either purposely look at TB or "find" myself there via a link or somesuch thru some other site/thread.

So can someone who visits more frequently than me share the short answer on what the h%ll happened to the look of that place.

Holy :o bassman!

1999 called an apparently TB answered the phone.

There's no love lost between me and the rulers at TB but even I know they're not that whacked.

Please tell me that's just a software situation they're being forced to live with b/c no way they would choose to force that suckage on the masses???

Was curious about your statement, so looked at Talkbass through 1) Chrome (which I use all the time), and it looks way too simple, with no lines to separate posts, and no boxes around quotes... 2) Firefox was a bit better, with a pale blue line to separate posts... 3) Safari (which I never use), was the best-looking of the three, with each post in its own box, with each subsequent post alternating from a white box, to a pale grey box, and quotes were in their own separate box... (keep in mind I'm using an Apple MacBook Pro).

Safari is easily the best-looking of the three... not being a programmer/website builder, I have no explanation for the wide variety of looks between each browser. As far as Windows Explorer goes, I have no clue what it would look like, as I gave up on that browser long ago...

Yes they "upgraded" their software.
I was falling out of like with TB a while ago and this new software makes me even less interested in the site.

I still stop by and even post from time to time, but not often. The extremely high BS factor has burned me out.

ok ok so call me silly, but I actually kinda like the new look and feel. It took me a day or two to figure out how to navigate my way around the site, but after the initial pain of the learning curve I kinda prefer it.
I'm using IE10, haven't tried it with other browsers.

The new look hasn't reduced the BS factor by one iota tho!

I'm with you. Initially, I didn't like it, but now that it's been awhile, I see the new functionality and do like it better. But you're right, the BS still the same. . . :roll:

I like the new TalkBass forum software. Don't care for the 'dark' version, but the goths and metal heads love it. :|

An interesting mix of experts abide there. From designers of thermonuclear reactors ( :roll: ) to those that don't know the difference between an ohm and a gnome, but have owned or played every bass; amp, cab, and combo ever manufactured by humankind and/or aliens. Fender bashing remains the most popular sport. And of course the daily crying in my beer due to S.A.D.S. {Sudden Ampeg Death Syndrome}. :lol:
