Um...New Joe User?

Maybe it'll grow on me...

Published on February 18, 2008 By Cedarbird In Blogging

So, um, I know that this new Joe User is supposed to be all fancy and better, but being as computer illiterate as I am, I don't think I like it as well. Honestly, though I used the forums more than the websites, I like how everyone had their own little space and we could find out stuff about them. It was nice.

Now, I really don't know a whole lot about the internet and the technical side of JU, but I kind of miss the old one.

Will the other features come back ever?

You can kick me off if you want, it won't hurt my feelings, but I thought I'd give my two cents.

Quick comment here to note that I'm having difficulties with the sidebar/second column area not showing up right.

For me, running IE7, I see the vast majority of the second column content (sidebar??) showing up at the bottom of the main column. I see a tiny bit of stuff in the right side column for me (the column that doesn't have the articles). The rest of the content that is normally in the second column is showing up at the very bottom of the main column.

Broke

Fix prz!

(I know, you guys are probably already working on it. Just trying to make sure it gets checked out)

Adding a note here - things look right for me in Firefox, but not in IE7 so I can see things correctly if I use Firefox, but that's not the browser I most frequently use.

I ditto this article. Except for the "kind of" in the second paragraph.

We do have our own blogs? Maybe I'm more computer broken than I thought, I can't seem to go anywhere but the forums.

I'll get used to it, thanks for the info!

Cedarbird: we've had some issue with other ISPs updating the address of the server. If you go to www.joeuser.com you should see the blog site instead of the forums. If it's still pushing you to the forums, wait until morning and hopefully by then all will be good.

Everyone should be seeing something like this:

For those pining for the old days and the old site, it's gone and not coming back. I don't mean to be harsh, but I'm just letting you know that the 2003 site with all of its bugs, crashes, speed problems, ugly design and all is gone for good.

I know.

I'll try it again tomorrow and see if I can get to the regular page. Thanks!
