Im sure this scenario was discussed thoroughly before the vB roll-out and its obvious that IB sees long time users and contributors to this site as acceptable losses and really has no interest in pleasing or retaining us. They can say they do but in reality its their way or the highway.
To them its all about acquiring younger new Audi owners who have known nothing but vB. Its a shame the exodus of all the knowledgeable and long time users will likely mean this place will turn into another vwvortex...

It may be the best forum software out there but IMO AW has now lost much of its "sense of community", and that was what made this forum THE BEST. This new format is slow, has less desirable features, and is cold and sterile. I still believe in the community, but it's not the same. Sad day.
Curious how a 10 year old "outdated" format can handle things like images in a signature and threading, yet this AWESOME vgarbage can't? *yawn*
*BUMP*

the sad thing is that they could careless about real knowledge, it is the number of posts they care about....

If ultimately people decide to leave Audiworld as a result of this, I would be dissapointed, but unfortunately there is little I can do, I am not going to come around to your house and break your legs if you decide you don't like Audiworld with vBulletin.
I might add, I would not deem loosing one person from the site as an "acceptable loss". I genuinely have a lot of faith in the vbulletin product, and what it can deliver to audiworld.

Upload your picture from either a website, or your computer, then click the link that is created "Insert Signature Picture".
I hope that helps

No No No....You STILL don't get it. The overwhelming majority of AWers are not her to "use the software" so to speak. We're not interested in "what the software can do". We just want a friendly, personable forum where we can feel connected. You're missing out on what made the former AW great. It wasn't about "features" and "programmability". It was about the people. KAWF made it easy for people to connect intimately and almost in real time, on the internet. That's a rare feat in this world of impersonal and sterile (and same) web forums.
