Title: PLEASE UPDATE THE USER INTERFACE OF THIS PAGE!!!
Post by: Ryankhitt on November 16, 2017, 09:08:19 PM
I love the help but this page is from the 90's... :Facepalm:
Please get this thing up to speed... I understand I'm a newbie but good-fucking-Lord this thing is outdated... (Rant)... I feel like I'm on a singles chat room from 97'... Also, make is cell phone supported...

Correct Terminology is important when you rant. Otherwise, we can't understand you.

What "page" are you talking about?......or are you talking about this site?

This FJ Owners "site" works fine on my cell phone. What "user interface" are you talking about?

Please be specific. (Yes, we already know the forum search function sucks)

Welcome Dickhead!

I'm sure in your 8 posts you have mastered the structure and etiquette of the site.

Pretty sure it's user error

I have a newer android, and the website works well on it, but with one exception that has been ongoing with past androids that I owned too. When composing a personal message to someone that is longer than a couple/few sentences, the body of the message covers the submit message button, and makes the button inaccessible, so the message can't be sent. A little aggravating.

Yes, this webpage is getting long in the tooth, not unlike many of its members. I once made a suggestion to remove old stale Child Board links on the home page, some of which go back to circa 2005 (I mean really, 13 friggin years ago, come on!), so that the extra space could be better utilized, for perhaps something more comtemporary, or exciting. There was no, nada, feedback on the suggestion. So one can assume that the suggestion had fallen on deaf ears of the powers to be, that can change these kinds of things.

Other than the donate/subscribe button at the bottom, it boils down to "what do you expect for free?", or if you don't like it here, there's the door.

Exactly.

No offense meant, but new members need to realize that this site has evolved considerably from the old Yahoo! Groups page. Marsh White built and hosted the site for a long time, and Randy was kind and generous enough to pick up the ball when Marsh relinquished it - it could have just gone away altogether. The site has always been user-supported and user-maintained. Suggestions for changes are certainly welcome, but interface changes take time, effort, and $$$$$$. Marsh was a web developer; Randy isn't. He has a business of his own to run, and he does a damned fine job...so if you've got helpful suggestions to make, or time and talent to donate, great.

But rants like this serve no one.

Ryankhitt,
It seems that if you enumerate your complaints in a specific fashion, then *eventually* you may see some results. That's what I found. It might help to be polite.

If you attend a rally, you might be able to put your money where your mouth is. That's always good fun!

Ok, so we are making progress with young Ryan, we now know he's not referring to a "page" but the site.
I sounds like he is having problems with understanding our communication (kind of like reading a torque wrench)

Ryan, do you have an example of the problem? Can you explain? Specifics are good.

Mr. Cunt
Title: Re: PLEASE UPDATE THE USER INTERFACE OF THIS PAGE!!!
Post by: FJ_Hooligan on November 17, 2017, 02:14:00 PM
No need to ban anyone.

My guess is he's looking for a something like a phone compatible app that's easier to navigate and formats for phone viewing.

Kind of an either/or deal.  My BMW XR forum is a phone app and works great on a phone.  However, it drives me nuts to try to navigate it on a computer.  

It's the opposite here.  Great computer site but cumbersome on the phone.

Oh, and Pat, he was calling me the cunt not you.  Don't be taking credit for my shit.  :-)

And, at least he called me Sir ( as in "You Sir. Are an outdated cunt").  You just don't see that kind of respect from kids these days.

Good points Steve!  Pat & others your patience is a good thing.

Less vulgarity is a good thing and politeness is a virtue.

Perhaps "Mr. Name Your Street" will be nominated for the first and only "Mrs. Resident Tough Guy" award...!

However, the street(s) are named several times a year as in the location of the Rallies - apparently he is unable to figure this out do the complexity of this Forum?  Not calling anyone stupid, so please take no offense...

As there are several Rally geographically across the country to choose from, perhaps he will attend.  But then perhaps if attendance is noted, suggest to him he bring a friend to pick up the pieces.

Hmmm, to not hurt his feelings, gentlemen tread softly...

Ride safe,

Young Ryan joins the forum on October 17th. He asks for help and gets it. He even admits he trying to understand the forum. I guess he is unable to master this 90's computer technology, I wonder how he'll do with an 80's motorcycle. I would guess the assistance train for young Ryan has been derailed. Ryan, you went about this the wrong way, if you have suggestions, you probably should not piss off the group.

My, my, my.....  to quote - "I'm vulgar because I'm a biker and commercial fisherman and wildland firefighter..." sounds rather like a Gregorian chant but if the egocentric fellow is impressed with himself, so be it...!  Perhaps it would be more proper to say he is vulgar as a result of a particular idiocy...

It seems that since "Mrs. Tough Guy" has not "named the street" perhaps another moniker would be more fitting... invertebrate comes to mind...

And so the chapter closes...

Here's what happens when you insist on using the phone interface.  You just come off as an ignorant fucktard who can't spell.

We need help?  "We" get along just fine.  "You" on the otherhand have a serious anger problem.  Also, you come into OUR house and receive excellent advice on actually fixing your problem, not putting a bandaid on it.  Then you DEMAND that we change our interface because it's a pain for you.

Go ahead and throw as many fucks around as you like.  Just makes you all the more juvenile and petty.

I doubt any advice you receive in the future will be worth the trouble anyone takes to give it.

Constructive criticism is rarely delivered via all caps and multiple exclamation points. 

I learned early on in the Air Force - and served me very well in over 20 year's in special operations - when you are new somewhere, keep your eyes and ears open and mouth shut, learn as much as you can as quick as you can, work like a scared rat, and you may earn your place.  Or, as an older gentleman one time told me "every day is assessment day" .  I would have assumed someone with your "credentials " would have internalized this already. 

If you truly intend to help, try making a new thread that starts with that intent and offers solutions.

I'd like to know if this is the kind of guy who, on an extended ride, stops in small towns along the way, then finds the nearest neighborhood establishment and deliberately tries to piss off the locals. And how that works out for him.

As to the "Where's Klavdy?" question, he's apparently been a bit preoccupied: from the BIKEme General Mindless Blather forum - http://forums.bikeme.tv/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=29851 (http://forums.bikeme.tv/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=29851)

You might have to join the site to read this, but trust me, the thread is well worth it, especially if you've ever met Klav.

Facebook has plenty of FJ groups, maybe that is a better platform for you to understand.

I'm vulgar because I'm a biker and commercial fisherman and wildland firefighter... Go Fuck yourself. I'm just trying to update and push the "SITE" to improve... Bunch of boys being technical cuts...

Impressive. But it's still spelled C-U-N-T-S I believe.  If you wish to improve it I would suggest to volunteer your services to create a phone app to bring it up to your satisfaction, then improve it for the desktop version.

You would be a hero instead of a vulgar-biker-commercial fisherman-wildland firefighter. And please don't tell me to go fuck myself. I can't even touch my toes anymore.

Have A Nice Day  :hi:

The forum runs on a forum package from a company called Simple Machines. The version it's on is actually from 2011.

The noob has a point - the forum should be updated. It's not just a matter of appearance and functionality, it's a matter of security. This version of SMF does kind of suck in other ways, starting with the absolutely non-functional search, but mainly, as time goes on, more hacks are made for this site. 

There is no need to do web development. There are tons of forum packages out there, starting from newer SMF versions to fancier stuff. Newer forum software is either more mobile-friendly, or supports Tapatalk.



The only way this is ever going to happen is if we either get a known and trusted member who is savvy enough to install a package and configure  it, or if Randy hires a consultant to do it. I highly doubt he has the time to do it himself. No amount of anybody's (especially some guy who just showed up ) sleeves getting rolled up is going to do anything - it requires access. The more practical advice would be to send Randy some money for that consultant.

It may not be as simple as an upgrade to a newer version. If parts have been customized an upgrade may not support the custom bits. This is one of the hidden costs of running a site like this.  The issue has been raised, I am sure Randy will look at the options and make good decisions for this forum platform.

Why do you have to get so vulgar. The people on this site are the best and they are just there to help one another out. No need for the nasty comments IMHO


Yeah? Trying to shut up a person with opinion? Holy Fuck this site needs help... Maybe RPM can endorse it? Kick me or not... I actually don't give a fuck... Because out of the 8 posts and questions I have... I've solved myself. I asked if I could fill my forms and I recieved into on changing seals...  I asked for confirmation... I'm vulgar because I'm a biker and commercial fisherman and wildland firefighter... Go Fuck yourself. I'm just trying to update and push the "SITE" to improve... Bunch of boys being technical cuts...


Wow......I hope you fight fires as well as you start them...is that why you became a firefighter ? Couldn't learn to bridle your tongue? Being a "Biker" is not an excuse for being Vulgar, it's an excuse to get out there meet other cool people and connect with other souls on the same road.....you are obviously having trouble with your ride and need help......but biting the potential hands willing to solve your issues is not getting off on the right foot. Leave your muddy boots at the door and make use of the powder room.....won't find a date smelling like squid......and yes "The Perfect Storm" was a cool movie.........only because it was a true story not because Sully dove in and saved Murph !! Ya the site may be old and the members content not to fix what isn't broke, unless it's an FJ.... but a finer site and better class of motorcycle enthusiasts you will never find !! Ride safe and for Gods sake.....ride nice !!  :drinks:

Follow the link at the bottom of the page to learn more about the software that runs this forum. It is an open-source, FREE software package that is updated by people who do so in their free time. With that said, the version listed at the bottom is from 2006-2009, so maybe there is a newer version available.

https://www.simplemachines.org/about/smf/ (https://www.simplemachines.org/about/smf/)

The content that I find most valuable here comes from the keystrokes of the members, not the buttons that I click. The search function is sufficient for my needs, and making the "Unread Topics" page my default makes it easy to see all changes immediately.

Ryan,

Do you have a specific issue that I can possibly address about the user interface that you are having an issue with?
If so let me know so I can possibly address your issue. I am not sure why the need to start this topic by telling me the forum is out dated and I need to fix it.

That would be like walking into a new restaurant you have never been to; Telling the waitress she is fucking ugly, now bring me the best steak and I want it for free...

Yes, the system is getting long in the tooth, but Marsh being a web designer wrote some code to prevent attacks back when he created the forum. Marsh, and my current software consultant, advise if I perform an update to the current SMF version, there will be issues that might cause a lot of problems.

Someday, hopefully someday sooner rather than later, we will be on a updated or new platform. The biggest issues is extracting the data from the code written to prevent hacks.

I am well aware of the difficultly in using the search option, but there have been many, many posts about using google with an FJ owners addition in the search field to find what you need easier. Here is one I found using the our search function: Use GOOGLE to search a web site. (http://www.fjowners.com/index.php?topic=9569.0)

Ryan, let me know if I can be of assistance with the issues you are having.

Randy - RPM
