We will be upgrading over the upcoming weekend, due to various security, attacks and conspiracy theories. The Boards will be down since it needs to be moved to a new version which requires a day or so (millions of posts and pics, etc). I think Friday late night or Saturday morning until it finishes updating.
Just so you know...
Yes, there are certain messages right now as the upgrades have already begun... just warnings
Since one part was upgraded but another part was not, it gives warning messages, but still puts the post through - this should go away with the other upgrades.
Did the Chinese hackers tell you to say that?
Blink once for no, turn away a plate of orange chicken for yes.
It's been happening to me every time, but like you said, the post still goes through.
And howndoninfind my posts? I used to search my posts in my profile so I could go back and look. Now when I go to profile it doesn’t give the option. What’s the way around this?
Ron with this new format, can we still post YouTube videos?
This is strange for me too, got used to the yellow look, but we will try it for now.
There are still various errors, so before we change things, or add them again, just want to make sure this simple version works, etc.
If we don't like it or something is off or missing, just tell me, and will look into it, once the final errors are out.
Where is the option for viewing ones own posts?
Not sure, but will bring that back soon once some minor errors are fixed, and I can start tweaking things.

Yes, that will be added back once we feel it is working fine.
Thanks Ron for all the work and time and thought you've devoted to providing a great forum for a bunch of clowns. The upgrade seems to be happening with record speed. -Only witnessed a couple of bumps and I'm sure you'll have those ironed out in no time. Good job!
I honestly like the older one.
Much more contemporary look, clean lines, nice colours.
Thank you Ron

This is the default template for the forum... ::)

It's the default look of Simple Machines Forum (SMF), Ron hasn't even customized it yet or changed appearance! :D
Looking forward to seeing What Ron will do with it.
Hey, asshole - grow the fuck up with your emojies - keep "representing" for Singerman who ( behind closed doors calls you the N word and laughs at you.) You have NO idea.
Fuck off.
J
Absolutely terrible - it now looks like any other shitty generic board.Generic indeed :D
Not sure, but will bring that back soon once some minor errors are fixed, and I can start tweaking things.
Aaron calls me a n I g g e r behind closed doors??? Where you behind those closed doors?? Seriously, you're a bit too angry over a light morning jab that was weaker than my decade coffee
And you’re a LOT 2 MUCH OF A WORTHLESS ASSHOLE.
With regard to your “relationship “ with sleezerman, I know two people who spend / spent plenty of time behind those doors with him. Now, just so you know - he just called you a dumb, wannabe, “N” . He does not do so consistently- at least that is the info I wa# told.
J
Generic indeed :DPlease do not use the black/red layout, Ron. Awful on the eyes.
That's because it's the default setting.
I used SMF on one of my boards as well back in the day (and many other forumowners who used SMF didn't have the energy to change the look),
so there are thousands of forums that look just like this.
I am just curious how Ron will make it feel more "Getbiggery" :D
Maybe a Black/Red Layout?

J
So what if he does??? Everyone talks behind closed doors but since I've not heard anything of the sort which would have been leaked out a long time ago like PJ masterbating on camera, I honestly have to cast doubt on it. In any event, I'm too busy to care
This is the usual, but yes, I like the light yellow and other features, etc - but first, gotta get the correct DNS, etc with this - hard drive was updated too, two types, extra storage, with 7 million posts, etc - was close to capacity.
Once it is stabalized, can play with things.
And yes, I am craving some Orange Chicken.... maybe tonight - otherwise, it will be BJ's Brewery Pizza and Grill, or Stonefire Grill .... depending on family (I can get outvoted)
I was fucking with you - showing you what an asshole can be. I’ve always supported your posts and you, so why do you have to come off like a child. Could have been a postgrad giving thanks to Ron. I think Singerman is a POS, but I doubt he would say that about anyone. Last thing he needs is that associated with him as he gets ready to do his stint.
J
Badly needs .png and .jpeg extensions supported for uploading pictures.The amount of times ive tried on mobile and not made a post because i didnt have time to convert.
It is possible for users to change to a different background including the yellow one (although it doesnt look exactly the same) however when I did this line got screwed:
Home Help Search Profile My Message Logout
Only My Messages was visible.
So I wouldnt recommend it as of now as you might not be able to click on Profile to make changes.
I like the classic look of yellow, and the original feel, which will come back. BUT - there will be other themes, so you can choose which one you like for more modern, or more hardcore, whatever.
Right now, we are just working to make sure everything is stabalized among other things
It's easiest now to use a host and paste the link.

Great New look Ron... Thanks for setting this up.
I'd be remiss if I didn't ask... This still doesn't work with Tapatalk right? And no mobile view? Sorry, I had to ask 😁
I like it too but you still can’t post pics from your phoneSure you can, chief
Sure you can, chief
Looks kind of like tres taco? Handsome beast
The latest one sucks bad. The one from few hours ago was ok,cause it functioned like the old one.
In this one you can not see the whole pic straight up,it's concealed and you have to move left/right. That kills the experience
Also,the threads I posted in are not marked.
The worst for me however is the lack of option for browsing through Who's online. I used to view random interesting topics from the last 10 years,was great.
Is there a way to turn off mobile theme? I want mine back the old way but can’t find the option thanksYeah I was trying to look at getbig on my phone yesterday and it's all wonky.

Ron any chance of making the text 5% larger and the background hue slightly less blue/purple. In this one you can not see the whole pic straight up,it's concealed and you have to move left/right.

What do you mean the mobile them? Are we talking for cell phones?
Yes mate cell/mobile phone, all photos are either too wide or stretched upwards now, always preferred computer style display even when viewing on phone most sites have option to switch can’t find it on here
Not just the yellow but can’t the board just be the way it was but with the needed security upgrades?
Don’t want to sound ungrateful as I’m truly grateful to Ron for having this board and putting up with all us idiots and our shit, but being truthful I fucking hate the new layout
Same.im not coming on as much as usual cause the new layout is not easy on the eyes.
Rob and Henda, we will get through this together!
It’s even worse on an iPhone.

Of course the iPhone system is different that a smart phone, which probably accounts for why the forum looks fine on my Samsung Galaxy Note 9. Turning the screen so that the content is landscape instead of portrait style makes all the content easier to read, IMO. However, all content is there regardless of whether you looking at the screen vertically or horizontally. The colors and contrast are easy on the eyes and attractive, IMO.
X2 brothers in ehren. Stay strong!
I hope so my friend, it would be a real shame to lose you or rob or any of the other great members here because of this
Hang tight gentlemen, we are working on restoring the old forum functions and finalizing on a color theme.
"1"
Looks like your average tuner car forum now.
Can you still see replies to posts or am I not seeing it?
I don't like this color either.
Hi rocket,
When you go into your profile, you will be in the 'Profile info' tab. If you hover on the tab, you will see 'Show Posts...'.
Alternatively, you can click on the (http://www.getbig.com/boards/Themes/default/images/admin/change_menu.png) on the right side which will give you the old look back and then it is the same as clicking on 'Show Posts...'
Another way of looking at new replies since you had last checked the thread/topic/posts would be to click on 'Show new replies to your posts.'. In there, if you click on 'new' next to the topic name, it will take you to the post after your last read post (which is not always the post you had made).
Don't worry Getbiggers
We will leave this default setting soon enough!

I am pleased that the new size limits for posting photos has increased heaps. Thanks, Ron. The old limit was 900 Kb per photo and now it is 3000 Kb.
I have posted photos up to 4000 pixels wide. However, if I try to post larger pixel sizes I get an HTTP ERROR 500 that says they can't handle the request.
Thanks Ron! Much appreciated
F.L.A.M.E.R. is the man that upgrades and handles things - really appreciate him, he is awesome in taking care of items, especially when work gets so busy ad crazy at the moment out there.
Still doesn't work.
I click 'preview' and nothing happens.
Access to the site is patchy at times. Some pages take an age to load; sometimes it times out with a connection error message.
I love getbig as much as the next getbigger but the new site is slower than shit.

In your profile, at the top right are double arrows pointing backwards. Click those and you can expand your profile to include your past posts. I don't think all of them got transitioned though, at least not all of mine.
So is there a name for the STUDY OF THE ORIGINATION OF WORDS?!
FLAMER, How the hell do you know this stuff and manage to fix and improve it!?
Do you gotta be smart .... or can I do it too!?
Right now I can't even find the oblong space at the top where I can place an address and then push a button ... and go right to it.
So now I got to click on the history thing and find what I want to go to providing it it's still listed on that history thing/list.
I'm not asking for free advice .... I just want to complain ... but surely not for the work you're doing to fix up this House of Nuts who like o complain no matter what.
I'd like to learn just what ya do ... but I'm not smart enough to do it, Dude!
BTW ... Where did that word "DUDE" originate from? How did it work its way into the English vocabulary?
You are smart so I ask ya this.

Youtube button is already back. When you post, you will see the button with youtube logo on it.
That can't be the case. I see at least 29320 posts tracked as per your post count from your profile. If you click on the ... in between the page numbers, it will give you more page numbers to choose from.

Kwon, are you going to fix this?
I've suggested this color (more like Old-school Getbig) to Big Ron, he hasn't decided yet until i show him three more examples of color schemes.
He was somewhat interested in a blue steel-setup i am going to send to him.
I'll try to post some examples this or next week.

I just ran the Malaware problem, and received nothing. Can you please tell me where you saw that? I am assuming there is a link that someone put on that goes to a different site?
I think the pop up only happens when someone clicks on a link of which Malwarebytes is suspicious. This is what happens for me and it is not something that started with the upgrade. It's not a big deal. I simply close the Malwarebytes pop-up a few times and it eventually gives up and goes away.

Suggestion for our avatar section. Can we have larger photos? The yellow rectangles are not needed. Getbig III, IV and V are not needed. One blue star is sufficient to indicate competitors so another row saved. More room for avatar photos.

Hello Getbiggers.
Something strange happened to my account yesterday, it was taken over by Joe Biden.
I require compensation for this trauma.Who wants to walk with Ballsview?
The "last edited by..." tag has got to go. Just plain annoying and tacky.
This shit right here VVVV
Interesting, but yes, will go.
I like the simple look as before. Working on it.
There are two themes I a playing with - Getbig 2019 (which is like this but with yellow colors), and Getbig Mobil, which is a different look. Will slowly change stuff as I am working on them.
Personally, I like the yellow, classic getbig colors. Not sure what the Mobil looks like, might be cool.(https://i.ibb.co/5K4f5Jf/mobile.png)
(https://i.ibb.co/fVJkkQp/getbiggles1.jpg)
hahahaha Classic Kwon :)Sorry, couldn't resist...
So the site won't have its classic look back ?
WoooSHHHHHHHHHHHHHH TA NA KA
It will! And more.
The yellow lemon-color will return eventually.
Ron is an essential worker so he has been busy.
It's revealing to see just how many members of this forum edit and re-edit their posts, trying to get it "just right".
working on it - there is another theme, take a look, which I am updating slow which is already in yellow. I am actually using that one right now. You can go to profile, looks and layout, and change the theme.
How about making classic an option for those who have trouble dealing with change. Personally, I think it's fun to change things up every so often. Weird, I'm an old fart and people my age are not known for being adaptable, but change is good IMO.
Is Getbig 2019 not good enough for you?
What gives you that idea? If it weren't, I would be posting here. Some people adapt to change better than others. It's Ron's website. He can have it look however he likes and I am fine with that.
It's as close to Classic you will get, try it out.
1. Click Profile
2. Hover over "Modify Profile" (next to Profile Info)
3. Click "Look and Layout"
4. Current Theme , click Change (Getbig 2019 for the lemonparty-look)
Okay, I'll do that. But I am perfectly happy with whatever visual and minor functional changes Ron makes.
I clicked the preview and nothing changed. Maybe you have to change the theme to see if you like it. Nope. Nothing visual looks any different. Maybe it's my browser which is Opera or the setting on the computer which is running Windows 2007 and will not run Windows 2010, and cannot be reasonably upgraded to do so.
Ron has implemented several different themes for you to try out.
Try "Getbig Mobil" and see if it looks differently.
If you like a theme, click "Use this theme" and then "Change profile" at the bottom right.
