Invariably there are always a few people who simply hate every change, whether good, bad or indifferent.

So, in keeping with our desire to satisfy everyone as often as we can, last night we installed a few NEW controls in your USER-CP menu.

On the top black menu bar on the far left is a link that says "USER-CP". Click on that and a menu will appear. Scroll down through the menu till you find FORUM OPTIONS

A LONG page will appear filled with user selectable options for how your SnoWest forums work for you.

Scroll all the way to the bottom and you will find the new controls.

User Customizations
Shout Box
Experience System

If you decide you do not want to be bothered with any of these, simply CHECK the check-box, and the feature will VANISH from your screen.
 
Now THAT feature, I like. Except that the instructions are wrong.

You're correct that you will need to UNCHECK the box if you don't want to see user customizations.

But, if you don't like the new Shout Box or Experience System, you'll need to CHECK THE BOXES to "Disable Shout Box" and "Disable Experience System".

Yeah. It's a little nitpicky. But things like inconsistancy from one one function to the next, and poorly written instructions bug me.

If I could just convince people to have a little bit of faith and give me TIME to get everything working.

I REALLY think most will like the end result.

I am with you there.....

People are quick to freak out with changes............ I am sure a lot of the stuff will be nice once the masses get used to it.

Still, people like to *****!

Pretty Much.
Once the dust settles and the SNOW BEGINS TO FLY I am sure things will settle down here just fine!

The goal is to make SnoWest work for YOU.!

It was working rather well before IMO. Many more complaints (not even including mine!) now with all this new fluffy stuff. Sure it's new....needs to work out the bugs and everyone will get used to it to a certain point. I understand this and am not totally against change but what's the driving force behind this big overhaul?
