Within the next few weeks I will be updating the site software to a new format. Before you freak this upgrade will not change the usability of the site very much from the format we have today but will add a lot of great features and a much needed style update. It will also give ua a far better mobile style for use on phones and tablets for those who don't want to use tapatalk. Private message formats and storage limits will be greatly improved; as well as feature to interact with other users on the forum. This will also give us a better platform for sharing of the videos, articles, and podcasts that we have planned.

The date right now is tentatively scheduled for March 5th at 9am. (Monday)

Stay tuned!

Good time of the year to do it. Will it change the layout of the forums and look? Or is more behind the scenes type stuff.

It will not change the layout of the forum listing much beside visual astetics. The forum listing order, grouping, and topics will remain with the same layout. Added features will be various user badges, ability to like posts, ability to tag people in posts, more smileys, better text boxes for post input, better picture and video posting abilities with a full feature user image gallery like photobucket. It will be just as easy to locate forums and threads and reply to them as always but with a better "new post" feature.

Gotcha. Sounds like some nice improvements.
 
Thanks for the behind the scenes efforts you put into this. Sounds like a good upgrade. We may need to tranquilize tall Chad for a few hours so he doesn't wig out. Other than that I don't think it will be a big deal. Well worth the temporary time out from the sounds of things.
 
Suggestion to review postings: Can the page numbering and page forward icon be moved to the left side of the screen? It would be much handier.
 
Glad to hear it will be a smooth transition. Don't worry about TC, he sleeps in until about 930 lol. Keep up the great work Joe

How about when posting pictures. Will we be able to put more than 10 in a single post? I know that is kind of a pain now if you are posting a bunch of trail cam pics or habitat improvements.

Absolutely. You will also have a media gallery where you can create albums and upload pictures to those albums.
 
The date right now is tentatively scheduled for March 5th at 9am. (Monday) shouldn't be down for more than a few hours.
