Forum upgrade PLEASE READ

[Ian M]

Added a PLEASE READ tag to the title and made it a feature.


So please read before posting John is doing everything he can to get the forum back up to 100%. And he is doing it live so we all can still get our fix. Please be patient and bare over with the minor issues. If it has not been brung up before fine, please mention it but it does not help John if there are 25 people asking the same questions. (I know that reads a bit harsh but it is meant in the kindest of ways.

Top right of the page under search, there is a link for unread content, on that page you can also change the filters to go back xx days or just your posts etc

Well I'm not convinced. I typically used to click on recent posts to catch up easily but now the 'Activity' thing doesn't seem to go back far, despite me clicking all the everything and anytime boxes. Honestly? I find the whole thing rather off putting.

Yeah same here, I liked to do some catching up of an evening on other people's posts on my iPhone, the old platform was so easy and I never had any problems with it. This is gonna take some getting used to, I hope I can stick with it.

As much as I hate to sound like a technophobe, I'm struggling with this new format.


There seems to be less posts than usual - are people voting with their feet so to speak?

[Guest]

Sorry, but I can't make head nor tail of this site. It's awful. I can't see any logic in its ordering of subjects. If I had dropped into it for the first time I would have immediately gone elsewhere. The old site was perfect.  I will come back in few days to see any progress, but I fear I will not be sticking with it. I can't understand why this change to its structure was made. What a pity. A very valuable resource destroyed. (Sorry to be so firm, but there it is.)

for my two pennuth, im not finding it very user friendly, seems awkward to navigate around

Same for me. Recent posts was where I headed to every time. One press of a 'button' job done.
