I dont mean to impose on bens thread, but i agree on this one. Can we have our growfaq back please? That and show when a post was made like the old days so i can know if the last response was 1 minute ago or 1 yr ago......
We are still working on things, dunno what you mean by this quote 05-10-2010 02:48 AM says right there when bens post was made.

Bring back the growfaq PLEASE rollitup, I would rather direct people to our growfaq than have to direct them to another site because we dont have any good articles on the topic when i know the growfaq had a great detailed guide i could direct the new grower too, keeping them on the site and in the community.

I agree the old layout, skin's, and composition was so much better before who ever it was decided to fuck about with it, I mean I've got the hang of it now but its nowhere as good as it was before, its time for a change........................BACK!! to how it used to be if something's not broken - Don't try n fix it!!! - STELTHY

Based on some of the posts I see every day and my own experience as a NooB trying to find information, it is a bit hard to find stuff here. It's easier to search for RIU articles with Google. That's how I came across a lot of OTHER grow forums.

I did, as did some of the others, I'm sorry if i gave you a bit of attitude, but when no one replies forever it really does seem like you dont care.......thanks for your time. why cant you guys put the growfaq back up? did you read my post before? here it is......

so how about it? I can live w/o being able to see when a post is made and ive learned another browser verion still has it, so im alright on that, but not having a growfaq is killing this site.

Basically nothing works as it did/should, a few examples:
1. Can't quote with the "Reply with Quote" option, only the "Multi-quote"
2. Can't load a thumbnail, get a black page then a return to the thread,
3. At my "My Rolliup", I get a 1/4 page of garbage off to the right of the screen. What is that?
4. Still can't edit my original post, would like to add a FAQ to it so I can stop some of the same old "where is the 2nd node?" questions. IOW, I would do a question/answer ditty. What should be basically a 4 page thread has turned into a 100, much being the same lazy types who are asking the same questions because they don't want to spend a day reading thru all the posts. What are you afraid of, that one out of 100 thread starters might delete something? So what if they do? The same material can be found with little effort in the 100 other MJ forums.
There are other issues many have mentioned besides these. If I had to guess, there is a GrowFaq ownership issue here, one based on copyrights...... a purchasing agreement, something. I doubt if it is a coding issue. You either put it up or you don't.
The feel and look overall is unfriendly.....not very inviting COMPARED TO the old software. I think you guys made a huge mistake - you don't fix what isn't broken.
What I speculate has happened here is a change of ownership, perhaps a security issue, being that the server is in LA (or so I've been told), and this is the beginning of the end of what used to be a great place to exchange info. You just don't take a polished gem and replace it with a turd. Sorry, but that's how frustrated I am.
Good luck,

so UB, i was curious, what browser are you using? cookies enabled? i mean, not to harsh on your mellow (or lack there of lol), cuz i agree i don't like the site as much after the change, but i noticed you listed problems i do not have. I.E. i am replying to this post with the reply with quote link, not the multiple quote. i don't see the garbage on the right hand side of MyRollitup? and images still show up fine, though if i move my mouse off the image (which seems pretty easy to do) the image will disappear and go back to the thread. in fact, of the four, the only one that occurs for me, is of course the thread editing which is by far the BIGGEST downfall of the site so far (i don't really wanna get into the topic of deleting accounts).
just curious bro, as thinking that these problems just may be an issue with the browser you are using or possibly some setting you have

i don't know how you've come to experience 1-3 ben, works fine under firefox.
i think you are onto something though, coding? you don't need to be a programmer to take the paragraph "this is a guide on when to harvest blahldahsdlashdlhawsdlihawlidhawlidhawlihdlaiwihdliawhdliwadhw" and re-write it on the new sites FAQ. no coding is involved when you enter plain text into the sites FAQ section. it's plain text input, meaning as Ben sais, it either seems to be utter laziness/incompetence or it's because there are ownership issues.
tbh, i smoke enough that i don't remember the old design haha, and i find this one perfectly acceptable, but it is true that it is cold and unfriendly. a different forum version etc offering more and better features does not seem to justify dismantling a previously great site.
