thanks to all those who helped me, and my gracious and sincere welcome to all those I have helped. I will be deleted soon.

I just wish this wasn't going to end this way.
 
Think it has something to do with his post down on site comments, Can see way he feels the way he does. But I could be wrong about this.
 
I must have missed something.....you mean the question you
asked about doing something kind for another yt'er is going to
get you kicked out? I can't imagine that would make you feel
like you do.
 
I don't see why you'd be banned for what you said. Lots worse has been said about the staff here and nothing came of it.
 

The trouble is, in this type of communication
the typed words last, they are not invisible.
And we don"t live in a land with free speech
anymore. I am Sorry John, where I grew up I
was told if you think it, might as well say
it.
 
Prety sad when a person can't say what they mean anymore.When I was growing up you said what you ment. People didn't like it well tuff.Now you have to worry about hurting someones feelings because you said the sky was blue. I may be joining you.
 
If this is about the post in comments than I don't see any issue. The Classic Side just does not have the capacity to do what you would like done. The Modern side apparently does.

I like Classic better for how the threads are kept in order but It does have limitations.
 
OK, that's just kind of strange. You asked them to do something. Something a little odd for a tractor forum at that. AND they tried and gave you the best solution available. Your response to their efforts was even stranger still. I know it is hard sometimes but you should try to keep things in perspective and not get quite so emotionally invested in an internet forum.
 
Before he edited his posts he said it dosent have anything to do with what is on the site comments, something with the allis forum instead.
 
Don"t think YT is kicking him out. Think it"s his choice. Sound to me like they tried to work with him. Anyways, I not even sure that this is what it"s about! Ell maybe he just work up on the wrong side of the bed.
 
Dang guy! Makes it into a great big deal, Ell, things get proofed all the time. Don't think Chris or Kim have anything to do with it at times, Think It's the Dang compuker that does it.
 
Apparently he's not happy about one of his posts getting poofed.
People seem to forget there is no such thing as free speech on most internet forums. It's all spelled out in the user agreement you must agree to when joining a forum.
It's their house and their rules.

Please explain what order Classic keeps threads in as I fail to see this order you speak of? I'll state that which view that one utilizes is the one that the user is more familiar with.

On Modern the threads that have most recently been replied to move to the top of the page similar to "cream on whole milk" while on Classic a recently replied thread may be 3 or 4 or more pages back. Also on Modern the last person to reply to a thread will be the last entry and this is not so on Classic.
 
Sure as ell got everyone worked up didn"t he. lol Wouldn"t be surprised to see this post get proofed. lol. Used to have a 8-n But I sold it.
 
Gotcha! Editing posts in the midst of a controversy is probably a poor idea but, of course, still leaves that strange communication on Site Comments. I dunno, thinking maybe I'll wade back to shore before I steps on a crab.
 
Holy crap! If getting poofed meant getting banned I'd have been gone from here years ago. I think if you're going to get banned,it happens without warning.
 
D R A M A: What makes the world keep turnin round.

This sounds like one of those times where something your mom has said to you your whole life might come in handy. I actually have two:

If you don't have something nice to say, then shut up!

If you didn't like it, then you better not try it again.

Guess I missed something but at 70 years old I have learned ..LIFE roll with the punches rake a little give a little.. Good thing about this board you can take it or leave it.
 
Hey, how would you know unless u were online at 4:30am eastern time? I think you are right about editing posts in the middle of them.
 
It's pretty simple really... in classic view, the post stays where you damn well put it, threaded, flat... and easily found. I have no interest in sifting through all the crap in modern view to find the one post I'm actually looking for... and lo and behold, a reply gets posted below the message it's responding to, not on the top of the thread where nobody knows what in hell you're talking about or to whom... I really don't see any advantage to the so called modern view.

It boils down to what forum one is using & likes BUT Classic isn't as simple as you make it out to be IF one isn't accustomed to Classic!!!!!!!!! Modern is just that closer to being similar to other modern tractor sites I visit.
 
I don't think it has much to do with what one is accustomed to... The main reason I don't visit a LOT of other sites is because of the ninny software they use where you can't keep track of anything. You don't go to the library and pull a book off the shelf, walk around the building and stick it back on a shelf somewhere else because you felt like it... you put it back where it was... or leave it so someone competent can put it back where it belongs.
I have absolutely no use for these forum softwares that use a floating index. You may have gotten used to it... just like there's some people that get used to third world tractors... but I have no use for it.
If I read 10% of what's posted on this forum daily... that's probably a good day. I just skip along following the color change on the hyperlinks... that's how I know what I've read and what is new. Very simple.

Face the facts people simply don't like change. I have no trouble keeping up with what I read on this or any other tractor site. I'll bet you have a more difficult time understanding/repairing the new NH(Fiat) tractors than the NH tractors built in the 70's-90's.

I agree. In fact I was very surprised when a moderator told me most folks on this site prefer the classic view. This is the only forum I've been on in years that still uses it.

Have you ever looked at modern view? That is not even close to the way it works.
 
No, I don't like stupid. I don't really have a problem with change.
As far as repairing today's tractors... I haven't gotten into it in any depth because the stuff I run is from 80/90's vintage. What I do deal with... in terms of electronics... I don't find all that difficult once you educate yourself to how it works. That in itself is getting to be nearly impossible because of the poor quality of the reference material they print today... and the unaffordability/availability of the computerised service software... so from that perspective it makes diagnostics difficult... but the general concept of some of the electronic systems I don't have a problem with when they work reliably. The issue I've got with a lot of stuff new... is that... it doesn't work reliably. Refer back to my first sentence.... I don't like stupid... which is what a lot of the emissions crap on modern engines is. Stupid trouble.
Give me a mid 90's vintage N14 Celect... I tend to think that's one of the most advanced, reliable big bore engines ever produced and was a marked improvement over what came before it or since.

Amen buddy. On rare occasions I look at Classic the post on the 1st page of Modern that I was trying to reply to is 3,4 or 5 pages back on Classic view. I fail to see how Classic view keeps every replied to thread easy to find. As I previously stated "It all boils down to what the reader is accustomed to"!!!!!!
 
shoot, iff'n I had a nickel for every post poofed, I I'd have more
money that orville redenbacher, I don't complain, cause A. Will it
do any good? and B. I read the same thing as everybody else!
