I agree Joe.....after all the years of this style of format, it has become veeeeeery comfortable. So much so that it's difficult to want to deal with the change. I hope something can be worked out to keep this style long term.
Glad we're back in the comfort zone. :)

You know that they say the older you get the less you accept change well.
Is that saying something about you and me? :)

It's strange, because I tend to be a trailblazer with certain projects.....but when it comes to ease of use and comfort.....I really like the way this forum works. It would be very difficult to make a change for me after having something as nice as what we have here. I really didn't like the new format in comparison, so I guess in some cases I am a stick in the mud. :)
Just think if I am this inflexible at 37, how bad I'll be at 67.......

Joe,
The person who administrated the vBulletin forum is Noel Fields. Noel's background in the computer field is extensive and quite impressive.
People who didn't make the brief move with us missed out on Noel's pictorial/tutorial posts, which amounted to short magazine articles. I was blown away!

David,
Noel's pictorial and tutorial posts were great. I did not have a chance to look at them all. Is there a way to get them over here?
Thanks Cindy

Doug,
There's another perk to coming back to the "Hive" - we get you back!

Brian,
I suppose he could. They were originally part of his www.dyesubbers.com web site forum section.
I see the forum section is no longer active on his site.

Okay, okay, enough of this "it's good to be back" crap! Now get back to work with your TWO businesses: your own.....and the "business" of trying to make Chuck Burke gainfully employed. We certainly don't want the State of Hawaii's Department of Social Services to have the burden.

Hey Joe!
Nice to see you back.....home.....Yes it's great to be back, but I think it is important to not that while more notice would have been nice, it was something the double D's needed to try....otherwise how would we ever have known?
I have a firm believe that if it's not broken, don't fix it, BUT if EVERYONE adhered to that we wouldn't have jet aircraft...or microwave ovens....or walked on the moon......so we had to try......
And now, for my next number We're OFF to see the wizard, the wonder wizard of EE, a whiz of a wiz if ever a whiz there was. If Ever and ever a whiz there was the wizard of EE is one because, because because becauuuuuuuuusssssse..... of the wonderful things he does.....
:) I DO miss the smiley faces though!

So what's the story David...Are we back here for good, or is this just a tease to an old junkie?

Chuck,
Version 0.5 of this software does have emoticons (technical name for smiley faces). The move to another server could include an upgrade. We have to tread lightly on that issue because of the challenges and unknowns that come with the transfer of data. Until then, :-).

There will be problems going to Version .5.
There have alterations made by Terry to get us around some problems, (like attachments locking us out if there was a space in the name), and other comfort improvements. I do not see a completely smooth transition if we implement an upgrade.
New is nice, comfortable is better. (Now why would I say that?)

And here I thought the move was to get rid of Doug!

Brian,
Because of its simplicity, I'm a big fan of Beehive. As others have said, even upgrading to more current versions of Beehive can be problematic.
Noel set up v.5 briefly, before me made the decision to try vB, but it wasn't going to be easy to transfer our archived information over.
There were also some glitches for Mac users (me;).
We figured if it came to starting over, we'd go with a more "robust" forum software. I was highly impressed with some of the advantages of vB. The calendar feature was excellent, and as much as I've always felt "emotes" were unnecessary, I found they were very effective in doing what they were designed for.
No forum software changes in mind for now. If we decide to go with another, we'll set up a test site where forum members can give it a test drive, before committing to a permanent change.
