AfricaHunting.com to be updated

Looking forward to seeing the update I think....lol!
 
Like the new format but is there a Dark Mode for it where there is a dark background with white lettering? I looked but couldn't find it if it is there.

This light blue on a white background is hard to see for these old eyes.
 
@JimP, The update is far from being done. I will let everyone know once the update is complete.
 
I agree with the major in that certain of the questions on joining should be mandatory...not talking bout trolls etc who will lie anyway but for the actual people who are joining for the right reasons...as it would make it easier to see where they from..where have hunted and what...just gives a bit of insight into that person...I am not talking about the information giving away who they are if they want to keep to a minimum...but country they live in...where they have hunted and possibly other items that are not revealing who they are....I have looked on peoples profiles to see that type of information but the vast majority put basically nothing....

If that type of quizzing would have been required when I joined, I would not have. This is not a country club where one has to qualify to join.
 
Am I the only person who questions whether they ever actually had a password on this forum? 'Cause trying to log back in after the update, I couldn't remember mine or find it in my password book and had to reset it to log in again.

Nothing to do about qualifying...just simple information so others can get an idea of what you have done if anything....I have looked to see where someone is from before when going to reply to a question as it would have made it easier...but these days nobody puts anything on apart from found it in web search and possibly Male or female....
 
I like that you can preview the content by hovering over the thread title now without having to open it to decide if its something you want to read- thanks for the improvements

@AfricaHunting.com Jerome, could you please post the link to the gold,silver,bronze sponsor levels as I see mine is out and I couldn't find them. Always willing to support the cause here.

Hmm, the actual content now takes up about half the window that it used to . . . making everything smaller . . . the yellow bars on top and bottom cover the whole screen but the actual content is squished in the middle . . . is that me or is that the update?

I may be getting too crochety for updates!
 
And I'm not an ambassador anymore either!!!!
 
I know of no other forums that allow videos. They consume too much bandwidth and storage.

You're a legend. I don't know whether that's an upgrade or downgrade. Upgrade I think. :Happy:
 
This will take some time for me to get used to..
 
Wouldn't it be better to have the threads with new post in them to be a darker color than those that don't?

This color scheme has my old eyes working overtime.
 
Looks like the same software recently adopted by another forum - no better or worse than before.

BUT how do I reduce the glare from all the yellow on the screen?
 
The new look is working for me so far. Change is good! If I stayed the same I would have never hunted Africa and never found this great forum for like minded people who love all things hunting and Africa!
 
Will the app still be available after the upgrade? Thanks

Yes and the app will be updated as well.

Thank you to everyone for your comments. Still working on issues and update...
 
Honestly I’m not loving it so far but I’ll get used to it. One thing that is annoying me is I can’t go from reading one thread and then going straight to New Posts ( I think ), have to hit the Home button first?

I'm unfortunately on a diet. Presently in VA hospital as Agent Orange finally caught up with me. Cancer and I no longer can speak. If all goes well I'll be out of here and back home in Thailand by end of July. Tough road but I'm a tough old guy. I'll make it that hunt.

Nice one there. I guided for mulies and elk for about 10 or so years in northern New Mexico.

Business is the only way to fly. I'm headed to SA August 25. I'm hoping that business isn't an arm and a leg. If you don't mind, what airline and the cost for your trip. Mine will be convoluted. I'll be flying into the states to pick up my 416 Rigby as Thailand doesn't allow firearms (pay no attention to the daily shootings and killings) so I'll have 2 very long trips.
