Agreed after 20 years it was a shock when I went online tonight for the first time in a few days, I like it though!
Only minor thing would perhaps be when you reply/quote someone it just says the post number and not some of the post that you are replying too 👍

I'd suggest that you should all try the new pm thing, its a revelation, like using WhatsApp or messenger 👌🏻
Great to see you have managed to get it migrated across without loosing everything Karlos 😂
I know first hand that a lot has gone into this in the background before getting to this point.
The change is for the good of the site for the future years to come, some people don't like change.. its understandable, but support it by flagging any issues or feeding back any suggestions to Karlos.

I have clicked the reply button on your post, so this message will start with that information, but if I wanted to highlight something specific from your post (I'll do it now) I go and select the text (as I write this I can see your post above) and then hit the 'Quote selection' button
Quote: Agreed after 20 years it was a shock
and so now it sticks the word quote, does some italics and normally I would be replying to the subject matter in the bit I had quoted.
So long story short, it does what it always used to do, but you have the opportunity to quote specific sections of a users message without having to manually go copy/paste/italicize etc

I think it looks great...just one question, any plans to make posting pics a lot less complicated? It has completely defeated me so far, but on other sites it's a piece of cake...you don't even have to upload to a storage site, you can take straight from your PC.

Nice work Karlos 😎
Great work. It’s so much more modern, and the links and functionality are much better.
Yeh blew my head off when logging in too!
Nice one Karlos .Lots of credit for keeping this running when others stopped. FB is ok but lacks this interaction.
Pics comment is v valid. Its a right pain in the gusset uploading old way.

Lovely and modern new UI. The only thing I'm missing (or haven't spotted if the feature is still there) is the ability to select a load of threads and mark them all as 'read'. Used this quite a lot previously.
Has this gone (a) temporarily, (b) for good or (c) am I a dolt and it's still there but I can't find it!

Yes, I have already done the upload code and it works from a PC / iPad / mobile phone etc.
I use it for uploading users profile pics.
The plan was to have this as one of the features you get with 'CarpForum Premium' along with zero Google Ads.
What I need to do is decide on some of the background processes for users to upload.
Do the pictures need to be moderated/viewed before being public (probably no, easier to just delete any rotten posts and ban the user)
Do I store the pictures in an individual area per user
How much space have I got on the server before it's full or I have to buy extra storage (expense to me)
Shall I also allow video (I think yes, but maybe that can come along afterwards)
No doubt more techy questions will emerge as I start work on it like what quality to store the image at, what size/dimensions.
Watch this space 👍 😎

You're not a dolt. I never brought these across as I wasn't sure if anybody actually used it.
You can mark whole forums as read with the 'eye with a line through it' in the right hand column of the homepage.
I hadn't noticed that I never added that functionality to the topic listing page, that should be easy enough to do, icon per line so you can mark them as read. Doing the multi-select and mark them all as read would mean I'd have to change how that page works quite a bit, I'll have a think, watch this space 😎

I know Karlos has replied to say there will be a premium option in the pipeline to allow direct uploads, but for now try this site...
LINKY POO™ https://imgbb.com/
You dont need to fanny round as previously with photobucket, add weird code, etc.
There is a basic tutorial, I will add the linky...
