VISITING THIS FORUM LESS AND LESS

Post by paulaboutform »

Okay, it's been a while now that we've had this new forum format. Are you guys okay with it, loving it, indifferent to it, seeing no real difference?...what are your thoughts? Personally, I don't do well with change and had to really check myself to give it a chance. Well, I actually find I'm participating in the forum less and less. I'm genuinely disliking this new format that much. I'm not going to rant because I acknowledge the hard VOLUNTEER work that goes into keeping this up and running. Nonetheless, I find it more difficult to keep track of who's posting what and where with all the new changes. I find I'm getting frustrated every time I visit the new forum. I guess there's a sure way to remedy that! :? .....just sayin'. I'mpretty sure I'm not alone thinking this.

Paul
I’ve been following the forum for several years and decided to start participating a few months ago and I must say that for what it’s worth I agree with you that the old version was much easier to follow and more enjoyable all around but it still amazes me at the number of big hearted people willing to help out and share their knowledge. Just my 2 cents.

Paul, it is different, and sometimes a bit frustrating, couple that with the Photo Bucket hijacking, and it really gets maddening. On the other side though, it is nice keeping in touch with folks, and seeing the accomplishments of the guys now that the season is underway in most parts, etc. As long as that part remains unchanged, and the members remain that we know, it's still a big draw for me to visit frequently.

I don't mind the changes now that I am getting used to them except......
I hate the fact that I cannot access the page where crossbows and accessories are listed - am I missing something?

I always hit the "new posts" button as soon as I get here and do not really see much difference besides color schemes.

I could copy and paste anything on my android previously, it was pretty frustrating. But now it's smooth.
Couple feature, like how it shows the last poster, but not the OP on the forum page. But whatever, it's all good. Every time a site changes there a learning curve. And then, it changes again haha

Iniatially I was not too warm with this new format either. :cry:

However, since then I have come to really apppreciate the LACK OF spam and especially the porno type spam I'm NOT seeing since this change has been made. :D

For that reason alone, :wink: I'm pretty satsified with what we have now.

Top left corner there are three horizontal lines, click on that and you get a drop down menu.

Only thing that I don't like is that there is no longer the "like post" option! Sometimes great FYI or DIYs are note worthy and should have the option to be liked! When I wanted to search my history to recall an important post to me I would always search my liked posts! Would be really nice to have that option back. :idea:
