ltdmstr Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 (edited) There was a lot of really good info on SH. If all that's lost in the transition, that will really suck. Edited October 22, 2014 by ltdmstr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOOM Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 The Hide; LOST its simple roots. Now with this new scout thing. GONE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmnielsen Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Not a big fan of the new site either. My biggest gripe is not being compatible with tapatalk or something similar. I do most all my forum browsing on my phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob01 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 There was so much useful info on the old Hide that is now unavailable. I understand it will be readable in time, but I would have thought that was the most valuable asset of the existing site. It is readable here http://forum.snipershide.info/ I guess I didn't get the decoder ring either. Thanks for the link. I can quit trying to search the new and improved site. No decoder ring. It's in a post in the Bear Pit as well as other places on the site. Also none of the old info is lost. It's all there but it will not be transferred over to the new site.

KSwift Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Telling people to quit bitching and recreate the content is pretty lame. This is the most irritating part. They need to not half ass it and transfer all the old threads over. Oh well, I was starting to like SH less and less anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnifex Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I'd been a member since '03 and felt confident dealing with people because of the feedback system. I wish the original join dates, names, and feedback score could have been brought over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ftc Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Is it just me or is the new site really difficult to load and navigate? I'm on an iPad and it takes forever to load a page. Kind of a bummer, I was just starting to get into the precision rifle thing. Got in on the LRI group build thru there as well as read up on all the great info. I'll have to save that .info site for reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebwake Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 yea the new site sucks. Plus I have yet to find an easy way to search. it keeps trying to search the internet and the entire damn scout site, including baseball... I could give two squirts about fantasy whatever....

swhiteh3 Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I'd be more open to the new site if the forum engine itself didn't suck so hard. No search engine (without finding all sorts of sports links). No way to follow a thread, or get notifications of activity in a thread. There are SO MANY features that have come to be "industry standard" for forums that this one does not have. If they can fix those things, they have a chance of recovering from the current loss of readership... In the meantime, I'm frequenting other forums looking for my information.

Rob01 Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 From Frank at SH just in case people didn't get the email: Sniper's Hide has Moved to the Scout Network In case you missed it, earlier in the month Sniper's Hide has moved the site to the Scout Network. Contrary to popular belief we did not sell the site, but entered into a deal to host the website over at Scout. In the short term this may seem like a radical move, however the long term plans to grow Sniper's Hide with the help of Scout will become evident to all. The Downside of the Move There are some immediate downsides, however this is strictly short term. First the website, we are currently working a brand new site that will be launched in the first quarter of 2015. There is a lot happening on the software side, and much of that work is not active yet. We understand this and please realize, this is a work in progress. Nothing is complete, what you see is NOT what you are getting. We are adding features weekly and will continue to put missing features back. Many have already noticed the changes. Logging on, In order to log on for the first time, members must use their email addresses from the original Sniper's Hide website to recover their password. Passwords did not transfer over. So use the password recovery with your email address to log on before attempting to use your user name. Once you are logged on, you can then relink your User Name. Many user names are already taken within the network so a modification of your User Name maybe necessary. For example, "Lowlight" was already active on the network so I changed mine too: "SHLowlight" ... real simple. Once that is complete you can log on and post under your user name. Change is Progress, Understand this is a new server and new network. The old information from Sniper's Hide was not lost, but it was not moved over. We had over 3 Million posts on the original site, and we did not lose any of it. However in order to access your old account, posts, or private messages, you need to return to the old site. The old will remain accessible by changing, .com to .info. So use snipershide.info to log on there. The new site is brand new, we are repopulating it with a ton of the best posts, and guys have really stepped up to make it work. We have added a lot of data, for example the reloading depot is much cleaner with a lot of the best loads for you to use. No, you don't have to pay, Many have mistaken the premium content information to mean you now have to pay to access Sniper's Hide. This is not true, the premium content only pertains to the Online Training. This is the same thing we had before, however with your premium content account you have access to the Online Training, plus all the Scout Content benefits and deals they offer. Also with a premium content membership you get a subscription to Warrior Magazine. Searches, It's true, you can't search the New Site for Old Information. You have to use the old site for that. Google is catching up with the changes and has already started relinking the old content and the new content so they will work. This is exactly the same as the change from UBB Threads to vBulletin. They used two different link structures and many forget that it took a while to convert the UBB Links to the vBulletin format. Same thing here, it is already working and you can easily search the site same as before. Use SITE:snipershide.scout.com AND _______ (Search Term) and you will see it works as long as you looking for something that actually exists on the new site. It's the difference between search 3 million posts and 10,000 posts. That old data just might not be there, so if you have a question ask. While the benefits are not readily apparent, believe me when I say, we would not have made this drastic of a move if there was not a long term benefit for all. In order to grow the sport, we have to open up our reach, and Scout Network puts us right in the center of a very large sports network. Make no mistake, shooting is a sport. If others see it as mainstream it's a lot harder to attack as extreme. We have a plan, a direction and not everything can be discussed at this time, believe us, the plan in place and moving forward. I understand this is not for everyone, and many can careless about other sports out there. No problem, nobody is saying you have to look. But under the "Warrior" banner, there are a lot of really cools sites being added. I especially enjoy the military history pages. Sure, we're asking for a leap of faith, but understand this is the 5th change in the history of Sniper's Hide. We had just as many complaints about the vBulletin move if not a bunch more. So like that, which took 9 months to change and improve, this will change and improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gose Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Not a big fan of the new site, the migration seemed pretty messed up and with Frank being Frank I'm moving somewhere else. as long as the old stuff is accessible I doubt I'll miss it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy27al Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 (edited) I hate that it went that way. I am a long time member of snipershide and I have to say I will not continue on the new site. However, when the new site is up we shall see how things go. The old info is a definite gold mine. Edited November 9, 2014 by andy27al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebwake Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Anyone seen sniperforums? seems to be ok, some pretty decent info in there. they claim to tailor towards the mil/police sniper world. Which makes me feel a bit better because I have never been much of a fan of civ marksmen referring to themselves (in any context) as "snipers" always seemed a little Charles Whitman'ish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nebwake Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Hahah, new sites always have problems. Another site (non-gun) that I follow just started over and is all screwed up also. Not as bad as SH, but it also doesnt look as refined since its running different software. SH is just annoying because of the no search and the fact that its backboned off the sports pages.

bigbear_98 Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 If there was a search or a view new post button like the old site, it would be easier to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmnielsen Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 If there was a search or a view new post button like the old site, it would be easier to use. That and if I google search and click on a thread from the old site it redirects me to the new site home page. I know there are ways around it, it's just annoying. Haven't been on there but once or twice since it changed over. I'll probably check back in a few weeks and see if it's any better yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbear_98 Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Man, with snipershide sucking I was really excited about finding this subgroup in benos. There just doesn't seem to be very much traffic here. Nothing like the pistol and 3 gun shooting areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebwake Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Does anyone have a pet load for a CWPSA 16" barrel? I am having trouble getting mine to really tighten up. also what about a 18" nordic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
