Matt 1,048 Report post Posted October 11, 2016 First things first: I have to say, never once did I think that when I started this site back in September of 1996 that it would still be going strong 20 years later. It's truly unbelievable and I'm so thankful that thousands of you have made these forums your home and community of friends over all of these years. 20 Years. Wow... hard to believe that number! Welcome to version 4.0 of the LetsGoWings.com Forums! This is the largest update to the forums since v3.0 was launched back in 2010, and by far the most extensive. The site now features a completely responsive design and should run far faster than the previous rendition and includes many bells and whistles that weren't available on the previous version. Unfortunately it took a bit longer for this upgrade to happen (and, truth be told, the server is still running background processes to update an absolutely massive database), but I hope you feel it was worth the wait! As with any upgrade of this magnitude there's going to be some tinkering going on (some things may look odd or out of place). Don't fret! There'll be some periodic updates as the last wrinkles are ironed out with this release. Feel free to PM me through the forums here if you find a bug, have a problem, etc.. Thank you and LGRW! 20 Cloune, derblaueClaus, frankgrimes and 17 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

_SP_ 129 Report post Posted October 11, 2016 Looks really good on mobile! Only complaint on a desktop is that the popular contributors list is on every page and not just the home page, meaning all forums are reduced to left-column only. It makes the subforums appear cluttered. On mobile this doesn't matter though because they are at the very bottom. Color scheme is sick too!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GMRwings1983 8,789 Report post Posted October 11, 2016 I've noticed a glitch, which I kind of like (or maybe Matt has invented a forum that predicts the future) I've made several posts now where four or five people like the post only seconds after it happened. When I click on each like, it shows that the likes are from Thursday October 12th, which hasn't even happened yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
