I saw them once as well but have not seen them again. I am hoping the page is still in it's growing stage and they are comming back. I hate to complain but I do miss not having to scan every section to see what the new post are about. The new look is nice, I just hope the useful controls off the old page return.

Ok....let me bring everyone up to speed. I can't really explain all the technical what fors about the forum....I don't really understand it all.

We did have all the buttons last week on the right side of the page........BUT...I SAY BUT we only had half pictures showing up in all the posts.......I made the decision to remove the buttons and have full pictures....We will get all the buttons back in time and I assure that the web administrator is aware of all these issues and is working to find a way to correct them all. He is caught between a rock and a hard place....Trying to make me happy with the way I want the site to look.....And making everyone else happy all of whom have their own idea of how it should work.

His primary focus is getting the new site recognized by all the search engines world wide. That is what draws new divers in and generates sales....Soon as that's done and he is happy with the results then he will start on fixing forum issues. Hope this helps clear it up.
Doing it right should include some common sense, not just blindly following specs and instructions. .Gary D, AWAP on SB

Friends & Members,

Thank you for all the kind words as we develop Vintage Double Hose's new look. We have a long way to go and have several new solutions to implement.

Your feedback and concerns are paramount to the success of our development and hope to hear from all that have ideas and concerns. Please feel free to let us know how we're doing, new ideas and if something seems broken. You can contact me using the contact button at the top of the page and then clicking on the support link.

Contact Us

Updates:
The PM system, at least for me, is not working right now. Neither are the links for "view your posts," FAQ, Members, and even Log-out.
I have added some code that should take care of this issue. We need to thank Microsoft for all the wonderful changes to IE 8. It's a never ending battle to keep up with them. :shock:

If you're still having problem please contact me. Special thanks to Jes for stepping in and offering a solution. Thanks M8!
"view active topics" & "new posts" links
This is an ongoing issue that is directly related to the new skin to the forums. It is being addressed and hopefully resolved soon.

Once again thanks for all the kind words. Have a great day!

Administration
PS. I dive double hose too!

Thanks for the update and all the work.
I really hesitated to say anything about the buttons because I assumed they were "in the works" and did not want it to come across as complaining. I know how hard it is to turn up a major new project, some things just have to take a back seat to more important issues. In the end, the new product will be worth the wait..... now back into patiently waiting mode. :)

Haven't been on the site for a while and was quite surprised by the new look. Very nice.

I have a question, is there an archive for the old forum posts or am I missing something?

Thanks.
