Where's my signature at the bottom.. where's the picture of everyone's cars I took mine off when I saw others getting taken off. Mine must have still been up because it was from my Flicker account and not loaded from here. I loved seeing others cars and will miss it.

It was just a software update. It had been 4 plus years since the ;last update. Seems whenever it happens people are unhappy. Some things get lost when it happens, you just need to reload anything that got deleted. Amazing how much people are resistant to any change, happens everytime anything around here changes.

I miss the quick reply, can't scroll up and double check other comments while I am typing.
I just don't get everyones obsession with "change" and "updates" if something is working fine why mess with it? find something that is not working and fix that.

The part that SUCKS is that you have to scroll the screen back and forth on the phone. And no turning it sideways doesn't help. Not happy Doug I'm not running into that at all on my phone. Honestly I barely noticed any change.

It's a big improvement from the way it was in 1995, though. Who remembers the first board, with no separate categories....just one big mess ? You get what you get, and you don't throw a fit

I'm as averse to change as anyone when it comes to stuff like this...but I really only noticed visual stuff. I don't post pictures or video or crap like that. That may skew my results.

the thing i miss, is the way pics display. it used to be if i clicked on a picture, it would display full screen on my pc. now, it just displays the original pic size or smaller. my old eyes liked the "before" setup. i used it a lot to see details. don't know if there is a setting i can change on my end or not. anyone else have this issue, and if so, what did you do to fix it ? [or is it not fixable ?]

I have a Samsung Note9 phone, Moparts works great on it. And when I turn the phone sideways the posts get narrower so I don't have to scroll left and right. I use the 'Chrome' browser.

I don't dislike the new lay out at all, I like that when you select a different forum that you don't have to click a "go" button. If you reply to a thread and don't want to follow it you have to deselect "Add this thread to my Followed Threads". Maybe the old format was similar, I don't recall. I don't want to follow every thread I post in but I guess it's a wash for not having to click "go". I posted in another thread about the new board that I wish we had the "go to first unread" button that left after the last update. Tom replied that when a thread was opened that contained unread replies that it would automatically open to the first unread reply. Not necessarily, my desktop will open to the first unread sometimes and my phone or Kindle never open to the first unread. Merely my observations, not complaints. It's still the best free Mopar board on the net IMO, thanks Tom.

At first blush I was unsure what the thread was about. I still easily find stuff here via Google. I like the newer format. If the login script has indeed changed, that's a plus. Now for the analysis of the changes from a purely objective view. The only time I dislike a website's change is when the powers that be add useless features in the name of progress. This website has typically been very fast to load, and the pages are light on bandwidth hogging images and scripts. If anyone thinks this site is heavy on the bandwidth usage, go to websiteoptimization.com and run the Unlawful's Race and Engine Tech. URL through the website tool. The site is pretty lean as far as modern websites are concerned. I do some work for clients moving to HTML5, and I can state with a wee bit of authority that MoParts.org is relatively clean and light. It is especially so when compared to most other sites that are reliant on ad revenue. The site's light on bandwidth, and I have zero issue following along. It's really pretty good. I would clean some stuff up, but I have to sell my junk to others. If this resource was not here, where would MoPar loyalists go? I very rarely post here as my junk is old(1992 engine build still works well enough for me with refreshes every few years), and I have few questions. I could answer some of what the membership body asks, but Polyspheric usually delivers the goods. I was a member here in the early 2000s, but have only recently gotten the bug again. My sentences are usually not so clipped, but I don't need backlash for being verbose.

I never got used to the last supposed "update" I tried many times to finger out how to put up pictures to help others out but never could so I just resigned to the fact I can no longer post pics.

Posting pictures from your phone got a lot easier and I haven't had an issue (except one posted upside down) with sizing yet. From my desk-top I usually post pictures from my Flicker account.

These are my two choices for how I view it...... holding the phone sideways, or up and down.
Both require scrolling left to right, or resizing to fit in the screen.
Resizing has to be done every time you open a new page. I’m using an iPhone.
On the plus side, I can actually see pics I post from my phi dynoed, instead of a little white rectangle.

I'm no expert but I think there is only one version of this site. In other words, there's no mobile version of it. It's not optimized for phone use. We get what we get.
To make it easier:
Don't Google moparts.com or .org and click on the result. If you do, it's going to open in your default browser which could be garbage.
Download a separate free browser app like opera, dolphin, Firefox,etc. The Dolphin has been working well here lately.
Using the Dolphin browser app, type in moparts.org or . Com ....log in manually in it, zoom out and presto there's the whole screen. Just as you'd see it on computer. Heres how it looks. The text is small but this is how it goes when there is no optimized mobile version of the site. You have to zoom out to see the whole thing, but that screen stays zoomed out until you change it.
The black areas are only part of the picture, they don't actually show up on the screen when I'm viewing the site itself.
Give it a try.
