One of the advantages I really appreciated about the old proboards was that it was fast loading. Now it's as slow as all the other $%&^^#()$ forums, and not as fun to browse. Oh, well. That's progress.
Anyway, the real reason I'm here....where is the museum? ...and the store? Can't see how to get there anymore on this new, "improved" (LMAO--sigh--cry) proboard.

Hiya Terry. Yes, I noticed the slowness at first, but for me it seems to have improved over time and now it's rather fast. Or maybe I don't notice it any more, ha. I think as soon as your computer caches all the new images and such, it should improve. I hope so. As far as the links to VSS pages, I just didn't put them back... Should I? I guess if you use them, I probably should. What happened was that as Dan's (former) web master, I thought it would be a good idea to have a forum. (That was 10 years ago.) But Dan started doing his own web maintenance several years ago and he has never really had any interest in the forum. It's always been mine and although it linked to and was affiliated with VSS in the past, it was not the property of VSS. It has been called the "Vintage Scuba Community Forum" for many years now -- people still call it "VSS" out of habit I suppose. It has always been on a separate server here at Proboards. I just did some "color-matching" when I originally linked it to VSS. After the upgrade, I wanted to change the background color to the darker blue that you see in the header. But Michael (mossback) was saying things looked too "bright", even though the color scheme on the upgrade is the same as the old. So I didn't make the change yet because I thought making the background darker would only add to the contrast, and that might be bothersome. So that's that... I've been toying with the idea of putting the links back, or putting links to several scuba sites, or...? In the meantime there is nada while I think... Ideas and input are always welcome.

Ah! See? I learned something new. I never considered the forum as separate from the "rest" of VSS. I always navigated to the museum and store from the forum. But, now I see under my favorites I have "VSS Home" that takes me to the original home page where the museum and store are. So, there it is! Thanks. BTW, this is still my favorite forum after all these years, even though I've been running silent and deep for a while:-)

Avast, so now we know... we has to be nice to ya...dang! Change away, ya won't be scarin' me off... To mirror what DB said: Aye this be my favorite forum. 'Tis the only one I like to contribute to, and learn from! Aye, we be a motley crew here, but were all hearty lads and lass', and run a tight ship to be sure! I like to think we're inclusive of new shipmates too--yo-ho-ho! Jaybird
