Def. a challenge to navigate. Slow as molasses, hard to get used to, now it’s down again !
Hope they get it ironed out. Still grateful, just complaining a little.

I’m only on there a time or two a year when I’m bored. I may of used it more but I hate the way it’s laid out.
For me I’m into deer hunting, a little general hunting info, hunting gear/weapons, hunting land, photos and a little off topic stuff, so on THF I jump around from section to section to see what’s new. When I go there it’s game management section or that catch all section. Not having the various sections/categories like on here makes it unusable to me. I’m not on enough to know the people or the content value but it’s just too hard to find that out with the format/layout. If it’s worse now then I can’t imagine.

I have been looking for a reason not to use that site anymore and now I have one.

I really liked the prior version, but the new may lead to much less traffic.

I hate to say it, but I find myself spending more time on THF now than ever before. When TBH went down for 4 days due to the conversion to the new format, I started coming to THF, although I have been a THF member for years, I only came here occasionally. The new format is taking me some time to get used to, like anything else that is new, but the site is painfully slow at times, and there are still some kinks to be worked out. I know the Admins are working to correct those issues, and I know the site offers free content, just like THF, but to be honest I find myself enjoying THF ove TBH, at least for the time being. Not wanting to sound negative, but just being honest. TBH is and has been a great site with some great members, but I think the new site has a way to go until it is fully debugged.

And when someone went hunting you wouldn’t know if they got anything until they got back.
Now we know within a few minutes along with a picture.
Hunting was a lot funner back then, maybe because I was younger.

I have been a TBH member since 2007.

The new format disabled the tapatalk plug in, (frustrating since I mostly scrolled on my phone), and the web version hardly loads. Everyone who posts that the "new site sucks" gets immediately jumped on.

Yes these are free sites, but so is FB, Insta, etc. - The web traffic on these sites creates value for advertisers - so it is certainly important to these forums to keep their viewership up.

IMO, TBH is going to take a huge hit if they can't fix their platform - and quickly. May already be too late.

yeah ask 2cool forum how this worked out for them - literally lost the majority of their members.

TBH is heading the same direction IMO - someone did a poll asking who liked or did not like the new format - 96% voted disliked - not good

I haven’t been back on since the new format.

I don’t care for it enough that I won’t use it

there is an old saying to still holds true today "if it ain't broke don't fix it"

Its tough for me to navigate through now. Cant get subscribed threads, mostly from classifieds to open in my so called subscribed threads list. Still can't post pics without using tappy talk, which is no longer available. Plus it seems like using dial up its so slow. I am sure they will fix it at some point.

It is SLOW

hate it when the classified items are all lumped together

yeah now the forum that spun off of 2cool (DosFrios) is having all kind of issues as we speak - threads will not open, etc. - I hope THF stays "as is"

Was a long time TBH member and came over here after they updated. I use it for classifieds only now. Can't stand browsing through everything now.

Same here, I used to check TBH several times a day, but after the conversion to the new format, I now check it maybe once every 2-3 days at most, and mainly just the classified section. The lack of fresh threads and content tells me I am not alone. I know the content is free, and that the Admins are teying to get things fixed, but there are several features that worked well with the old site that are not working well now. The search function is just one of them. I don't want to be overly critical, especially on TBH itself, because I know the Admins are aware of the issues, but I think there are so many they just have to focus on a few at a time. I have high speed internet, and often times it takes 30 plus seconds to load a single page, or I just get a timed out message with a white screen. Just like with anything, when people have choices, they will tend to gravitate toward a product/service that best meets their needs/wants. I have landed here, and also now frequent a few other outdoor related sites. I sure hope TBH is able to pull it together and avoid the death spiral.

Add me to the list that is moving over here from TBH. I was a regular over there and a member since 2010. I hate that the new site is so awful but it is. I really enjoyed the site and the guys on it. It truly was a brotherhood and several times had people I have never met help me out. I had forgotten I was even a member here until I tried to sign up and it said my username was already established.

Guess I will hang out over here and see how it is, at least until they get TBH fixed, if they ever do.

Is TexasBowHunter forum still active? I tried to go over on there to look at their classifieds but never could access it.

It’s having issues similar to this forum. But, it’s improving. And, be sure you’re logged in to see the classifieds.

i dont even know how to post on there every time i do its says i need to upload a photo
