I recall one comment a few days after the forum change but that's it. Pandas like to hibernate when the cold weather kicks in and by hibernate I mean go on vacation.

Maybe now that elections are over PO will be back from the campaign trail.

Gee, maybe pandas hate the new format. And if it weren’t for my love of Benchmades and for the relationships I’ve developed w/some of you, I would’ve been LONG GONE after the change.

Agreed. This new format is a POS. Seems like the wealth of knowledge is dwindling.

Oh, and I agree the new format sucks.

Oh he is "taking a break..." Did he say "It is not you guys, it is me... I need some space to find myself..." All the while he lighting up the Spyderco forum.
I am used to the new format now, It is fine.
I do like I don't need to host pictures on another site.

/|\ Mark you say “Po is lightening up the Spyderco Forum” we need to call for an exorcist to rescue our deeply troubled friend.🤮

Guys, I’m painfully aware of the unrest & misery caused by changes of soft ware operating systems or poorly developed upgrade.
I’ll agree that the new software is a little cranky in terms of adding images etc but imho, it works ok in a mobile environment. The old software format was getting old, & was more suited to a desk top environment. Again, an opinion. I’m a user rather than software code geek.
I have run a knife & shooting forum in Europe. It started with a reasonably stable platform from Woltlabs in 2015 that worked well in desk top & mobile phone. You could successfully Moderate & Admin from the mobile environment with little to no loss of screen, key function or drop down menus. Success. Members & Mods all happy
But our IT chimp ( co-owner) couldn’t leave it alone. KISS was a concept completely lost on him. The idiot added unnecessary sub-forums & plug-ins that made a good thing gradually more cumbersome....then came “the software upgrade of fail” Newer, shinier etc etc.
My first question to him : Will it still work as before in a mobile environment & with adequate down scaling to use on a mobile & Moderate ? Answer : Yes
Will it keep the look of the previous software & corporate familiarity? Answer : Yes, he would skin it to make it look as before.
We agree to software upgrade as long as it’s BETA tested by us & key members prior to release.
IT chimp pushes for release 4 weeks after meeting & says we must test it.... but we agreed to full testing & member test ffs.
The big night of release.
IT chimp get two other IT Chimp friends to sit at desk top IMACS implementing the upgrade all night. I get in after working all night to find an unrecognisable software upgrade I can’t see anything on properly with 70% functionality lost in the mobile scaling & no hope of moderation. I get berated for complaining that it’s a pile of crap, until I ask them if any of them had tested the new software on a phone of any kind ? Lol....not !
This rush to implement a poorly developed & tested software package despite the prerequisite of mobile function & use would doubtless have been avoided with time spent testing the package over a full test period as we’d never agreed the implementation.
We lost half the posting members. I couldn’t mobile mod the site & the IT chimp turned round & told us that we should all be moderating the site from desk top machines & that we should all go out & purchase them if we did not have them...🙄 This on top of the 1500 hrs we already worked for free 😂Only a full function retard with ADHD, Aspergers & a large splash of Narcissism would say something so insane publicly.
Unsurprisingly, that Forum is nearly dead with myself & most of the contributors & knife makers long gone...so I do get how important ease of use & functionality is for the user..👍
