Any board changes soon?
 

I was thinking... I only come here once every 2-4 months and when I do it's the same old board. By that, I mean no disrespect but isn't there something to make the board more "user friendly" or updated?

Like real time post updates on posts instead of having to hit refresh. Facebook "like or dislike" buttons to go along with the rep system?

I found myself wanting to like a post of someone's but I then remember the rep system I'd have to go through a couple of clicks and no one else can see my rep for that user. More times than not, I just don't do the rep because of that reason.

These are just my mudslinging thoughts and wanted to know if there were any upgrades coming?

Please understand I'm just offering suggestions instead of slinging mud.
This place is more like the older dwindling church that doesn't change with the times instead of evolving to include "quickies for convenience" for the younger ADHD generation.

The other forum I visit is.

This place is like a ****ing spaceship compared to that joint.

How bout an app? I hate getting on here with a browser while at work (I don't sit in front of a cpu screen all day like most), so an app would be nice.

This. And Tapatalk ****ing sucks out loud.

No joke! I tried tapatalk once... Never again. My god.

Hell, if CP made an app, and it was actually decent, I'd pay a couple bucks for it. And I've never in my life paid for an app before.

CP is on software that's 5 years old, so there aren't a ton of new features coming out for it at this point. The upgrade is do-able, but it's a massive amount of work, and a lot of the features that HAVE been added over the years would we wiped out.

So in short, I wouldn't hold your breath.

Shit I'd be happy just to be able to use the search button again. And for the site to not crash on game days. But i'm sure that stuff costs money.

I mentioned the same. I'd pay for it in a heartbeat.

ROFLROFLROFL

I don't even use this site on gamedays. Normally after the game, but not during. I can't stand losing focus. But with an app I'd probably log on every once in a while during a game.

Some of you guys have massive misconceptions about how much time software development takes. My guess is the cost to custom develop an app (other than Tapatalk) for CP would be higher than the revenues of the site in its entire history.

New versions of vBulletin are compatible with a mobile app made by the vBulletin company, but by all accounts, it's awful.

You can call me out, geez. But if a real app ever WAS made, I guarantee a TON of us would pay for it and cover the costs.

To put more numbers to it, it's probably a $50k-$75k effort on the low end to design from scratch, so you're gonna have to have some pretty deep pockets.

Jesus Christ. Nevermind.

Yep. That's why the only options you see out there in the world are made by third parties. You have to reach a massive number of users to make it worth it.

I seriously only thought it'd take 2-5k.

Btw, I still can't log in to the games(Arcade) section. I get the 404 crap.

What a bunch of ungrateful ****s. Break out the ban hammers! :evil:

I've considered starting an "AG Planet" several times just to try to put that god damn antique pile of shit in the scrap pile. Their banning of a couple posters recently just added more fuel to the fire. If I was 10 years younger, I'd do it just to do it.

Let's just move all this to a Facebook page


Like!

I'm so glad we are all friends. This is fun

I like how simple this place is set up. I would not change a ****ing thing.

I wanna hug you ^

Whoa! Baby steps. We don't even have a working search function.

Inmen58:knock knock
Dave: who's there
Inmem58: Your pal Inmen58 and he'll always be there for yourself

I just pull up the normal site with the browser on my phone and it works fine, not sure why people are clamoring for an app.

It's funny, but there are people who actually think this is a good idea.

One of the only private boards I used for actual industry knowledge did that very thing. The idiots totally killed the user base and it instantly destroyed the communities ties to valuable sources with decades of first hand experience and knowledge that can't be found anywhere else. Dumb, just dumb.

Apps are easier to use, that's all. But not 50k easier to use.

Tapatalk is only handy because of the "last read" feature. It saves where you were when you last visited a thread so when you click on it in the future it takes you to the latest post you have yet to read.

Well, the best part is that according to the OP Mr. Wutamess won't be back for 3-4 months

That's just silly.

There's a guy here that would do it for a steak dinner.

New version of Vbulletin is crap, the only forum software now that is worth anything is XENFORO .

When I had a phone I used the mobile site and loved it.

this

Doesn't everything do that? Well maybe not exactly but if you read all the posts the next time you go into the thread hit the red arrow instead of the thread title and even your computer browser will put you where you left off.

And then complain about it on another site...

Have nothing else to complain about...

well played cross thread humor.:thumb:

I was never familiar with that feature. I used to use Safari browser on my phone and that just sounds like a bit of extra work

Now that I think about it, I like the text format of Tapatalk as well. The text is a bit small on browser which forces me to go to landscape mode which isn't the easiest on my hands.

Heard lots of feedback along those same lines. Also real negative reviews of the app.

There is just not a lot you can do with these vbulletin forums unless you are willing to put a shitload of work into them. There is no monetary gain because you put all the work into updating the vbulletin forum.

Now, there are other options other than vbulletin but IMHO, all of them have worse downsides than this version of vbulletin.

I wouldn't mind it on my phone if it at least resized automatically. I hate constantly having to zoom in and out all the time just to click a thread. I settle for tapatalk right now but it is becoming a real joke.

That damn Roger. Always complaining. :p

I do like the suggestions but it sounds like it won't happen due to being too expensive. I just wish we had the search function.

I must be the only one here that actually prefers the google search.

Huh, mine does resize the pages automatically.

The google search works fine to find a thread, but sometimes I am looking for a specific post and it won't work for that.

LOL Who'd they ban?

I haven't been on there much. I'd be on there all the damn time if the interface wasn't so terrible. And if mods would come in and take out the dups. Nothing irritates me more than a front page that looks like this.

This is what I do too. Quick zoom for the red button. I like it best.

Are you talking about the mobile version of CP maybe?

Nope, just the regular site.

ugh. I can't stand the normal site on a phone. Hell, I don't even like it on a tablet.

A cattle trader and a weird soils guy. I didn't even care for either of them, but their left field ideas brought good conversation out of people who only speak up when someone is full of shit or rings a bell that's worth discussing.

All those picture attempts are hilariously annoying. I realize there's a pile of computer illiterate people on there, but even I have trouble posting pics on there sometimes. If the posters and info would sustain a migration the whole forum needs taken out behind the wood shed.

I want the free version.

Heh. Guess I've missed out. I haven't been on there much.

The thing that kills me is you can't format it to the newest responses on top. So the good threads are buried under the corn pic fails.

Same here. More accurate and fast as hell.

Mic Jones...where have you been, man? I haven't seen you and your Lawrence Fishburn avatar in forever.

I hear you. It's mind boggling dumb.

Tapatalk has really ****ed themselves with all the updates. The new version is straight ball sack.

Well, it's not going to upgrade itself...

Even if you get volunteers to split the workload up, you would still have to grant everyone that worked on it, access to the Server. More cooks in the kitchen, more chance to screw something up.

I see the ads at the bottom of the screen. Austin is pulling TIME WARNER money. He's pulling MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL money. Tell him to loosen the purse strings.

It's not about money. Bandwidth and the Server cost money. Add on's and upgrades are free except for the labor part.

Maybe you can skip a Girls Night Out and DIY?

Sorry if I offended you.

:shrug:

1.) Real time post updates suck

2.) The newer versions of vBulletin are terrible. The original company was bought out by Internet Brands, most of the original software geeks left, and the last couple of versions have been dogshit. Here's an article on it, in case you're interested:

https://www.avforums.com/threads/vbu...letin.1855705/

It's 2015, where is my dark theme?

Also I think we need better servers. Can we start a fund-raiser?

I would so love to hit a like button to this.

Interesting article, thanks. That definitely reflects the experience here - I know Kyle has set up test servers in the past for both vB4 and vB5, but never made the switch because the software was awful and we'd have to lose tons of features to make the "upgrade".

I'm not Mic Jones (all black people don't look alike).

~ doing good.

If that specific feature is a popular request, it could probably happen. There are a handful of "like" mods out there, though someone would need to dig into them and see if any are very good.

Dont make CP like facebook. Keep the like's out of here. They take up valuable space.

You're welcome. Patsfans.com ended up dropping the vBulletin altogether, and setting up with Xenforo. If this place gets to the point where a switch is in order, y'all might want to talk to Ian about it.

*like*

daps to buck, walks away.

Anyone wanting to check out mobile, use the mobile site, NOT the mobile view setting in user pref's. I think a mod is required to get you back to normal view on the full site.

The feedback I've seen from boards and individuals has to be at least 80% negative if not a higher %.

Yes. We've decided to let you go.

Now THAT'S a message board. Seriously. How to bake a potato in foil, watery canned beans, party games for grownups, corn pickers, swine diseases. Spend a little time there and you are transported to a simpler time and an easier pace. God bless the Midwest and her fine people.

What the **** people? There is ONE Chase Daniel....not two.
