    As requested,

    I changed the color of the Bear Pit label to be Pink so to Honor Veer as requested

    Don't recall who, someone asked, can't do rainbows, but I can do pink

    Don't know about all that, I just asked them to change the outline to pink,

    But Drama is subsiding, I am feeling in the XMAS spirit, I am over the banning thing right now, it's more about the discourage this week. :)

    The only thing left is for those troubled members to ask a real question, we would certainly be happy answering legit questions versus going straight into the ever lame, "I don't get it" or the tired, "I don't like it when things change"
     
    I have an honest suggestion...don't know if it is doable, or even if you would consider it, but here goes:

    The colored "badges" or blocks or whatever you call them, like "optics" or "reloading"...it would be great if only the " buy-sell-trade" forum had those at the front. That way, PX adds are easily identified or skipped over.

    The Bear pit however has a badge that says "Maggies" and I think "Gunsmithing is another one out in front. I would respectfully submit that these be moved to the end of the heading rather than being up front.

    That way every line that doesn't have a badge up front can be quickly identified as a regular tyoe post and not a PX ad.

    Even if you can't or won't, I'm still liking the stripped down look of it.

    Anything with them is doable, within reason.

    But I am not sure what you are talking about the sections are the all same, so if you see it in one section you have to see it in another as we did not alter each section individual those settings are usually global.

    Now I went in and to the stickies, any sticky post where you see a tag, like this:

    Those tags you see are links, my goal is to try and use the Sticky posts as much as I can to give an extra level of navigation.

    The last thing I'll do is the PX, not for nothing the PX is not high on my list,

    But if you see a sticky with a tag, and you want to look at that section, "same tag, same section" if you click on that label you will go there.

    But the thing is, I can add tags and labels to fine-tune sections too without adding to the forum, We are but we are not. We add filters to areas without adding areas to explore.

    As an example, we had Scatterguns, Sidearms and K Bars, I edited the label but removed K Bars, so it was easy to jump in and add it back, I also made a more general label, Precision Rifle Gear, so adding new labels is easy without the clutter. All I have to do is fix the colors now

    Oh, do you mean you want the label all after the section heading vs in front?

    From what I see all are in front and none are behind the word, it might have been early they were mixed, not sure, but understanding things are adjusting everyday, they are working it on it all the time

    We have another big update happening in Jan, the 11th the software is updating which will add even more features that are currently not on display
     
    Also too

    I have not seen anything in the surveys, ( i am sure many of you were very helpful) but Alex and her team have that information so they are probably going in and adjusting things as we go along based on that feedback.

    If you notice tiny things move around. That is them working in the background, They just fired up the new test site for the January changes so believe me, nothing is complete, everything is adjustable and we are working to make it the best possible experience over the long run vs minor revisions back to how it was.

    The internet is always evolving we have to evolve too, there are certainly best practices, all of which change from year to year based on technology. Come January we'll be in the best possible position to serve everyone from the articles on the front page to videos to the forum. This upgrade was necessary in order for me to quickly adapt to the future.

    At Scout, everyone hated the ancient second rate shareware forum software. This is 2020 best practice stuff at play here, the fact it is modular and adjustable just means we need some time to tweak it. I get stuff worked fine for many before, but once you get the hang of it, stuff will work better than before for all.

    I thought there was a strict “no pink”’rule.

    Like we don’t have too many t1ts already...

    Sirhr
     
    Thank you. Veer was something special and he sure is missed around here.

    The pink "Combat Cockfag" award was brilliant, awarded to a very deserving individual. I didn't realize that came from "America World Police" until last week, thought of him and just chuckled. Typical Veer.

    The rainbow unicorn lower was something else. Did he ever build that thing or did he just get it to take a picture of it and post it on here? Neither would surprise me.

    And who can watch "V", especially the scene where he meets Portman, and NOT think of Veer!?

    It was never built. His health declined so damn rapidly he was literally bed and wheelchair bound. That's how his days were spent, and that's just one reason why for the last 8 or 9 yrs I was in contact with him one way or the other every day. I don't know how he held it together for as long as he did. I can't imagine being faced with that challenge, but he did it with class.

    Anyhow, I'm soon to be the guardian of the Dildo Pony. I'll eventually get something built with it when I'm done bleeding money for the "Craft Room". :giggle:

    @lowlight Thank you from so many of us for following this through! Our beloved @Veer_G is smiling down on us all over this.

    You know James, the first thought that came to mind was that the lower should somehow be "enshrined" (maybe too strong of a term, but....).

    Then, it came to me. The best shrine of all would be for you, his close friend through all of his challenges, to build it up and use it as it was intended. I think he'd have wanted it that way. :) (y)

    Well my friend, I'm kinda struggling with the fact that the lower is coming my way, along with a number of other things that just blows my mind. Who knew is all I can say.

    But yes. I have considered a shadow box with a patch and cockfag ribbon, or eventually build a kickass AR and use it as intended when I can. I know he wanted to build it up, but his priorities changed soon after he ordered it. He thought, hoped, he'd be able to get back out and about, but no.
