so ive played with the new improved forum today and well

its pretty much over for me

too hard looking for threads i want to add to

getting messages i'm "flooding the thread" go away for an hour

what kind of 'conversation' do you have where you must wait an hour before saying anything new?

i will still post now n then but that'll prolly wain pretty quickly

WELL DONE WHOEVER IT WAS

killed the forum

I think that was the whole idea, David.

 

Pee everyone off so they don't bother

 

ATM I can't be much bothered either, but I'll keep going and see how it pans out

It kinds of just begs the question - why.

 

Things on the Aus - UK - US - worked - all knew where they were.

 

If the intention is to ' phase out ' - why not just give a date - CLOSED.

Just an up David - there was some difficulty on the US boards with HTML.

You are in the habit of posting links - these didn't work for some time on the US boards - but seems ironed out now.

Could be why you are getting - the flooding message.

If you read their blurb, it's supposed to make it easier for phone users.

 

From what I've read - it doesn't

How - the latest comment to a post does not bring it to the top.

 

Only the newly begun threads will show at the top.

 

Where as before - any post would bring the thread to the top.

 

This is still the same in the US - you have to search threads for the latest post.

 

Think I'm out - bit too much of a bother - we'll see.

In personal settings, there's one to click that says to ignore HTML

 

But I've already posted a link today, so maybe that's not it?

 

I'll try another -

I've already mentioned that I don't like the new layout, but I recognise my own bias against layout changes that seem completely unnecessary to me.

 

Perhaps we will get used to this format, although there are a few things that I think will play against that.

 The UK & the US - have now had this layout for at least a month - nothing has changed.

 

Not sure they intend to change - so it's probably goodbye from me.

 

To have to search through threads - to find a latest post - nah.

 

Done.

No places left to post really anymore, which is a shame.
