If they don't give Gamers their own category, then this needs to be Viewpoints.  It's way too hard to get around Community Chat right now with all the Gamers posts.

I have no idea how I got here but so far I'm not liking what I saw. I really don't want to have to learn this new format when the other one was working just fine. My feeling right now is that I'm not sure I will stay around . Lots of luck to all

It seems that 'Community Chat' is 'Viewpoints' and this is still the 'Among Friends' forum.

 

I also see that they have very specifically put religion on the verboten list (yay), but there are still always a lot of 'Among Friends' conversations.

 

For those who are so frustrated, please go into the Preferences and Settings and make changes.   One thing that has helped me, and a lot of other people here, is to change the view to 'Forum Only'.   It made a really big difference for me.  

 

Just look around in the things you can customize and it will make it a lot easier for you.    New emoticons, but they are even sillier than the old ones were. Oh well.  I guess people using iPads can use their own emoticons but those are even worse.     I'll just either smile Smiley Happy frown Smiley Sad or wink Smiley Wink 

 

hehe


 

I just changed to Forum Only, and nothing changed.  Can you tell me what you're seeing?  What's different?  Thanks!

 

(I hope I can find this thread again!)

I am starting to think they are reinventing the wheel again, at one point Gamers was part of VP and it was given a seperate forum, and now its back again.

UGH.

I just noticed in "My Activity," the handful of "Viewpoints" posts I have showing have been re-categorized as "Community Chat."

 

I think that is where everyone from Viewpoints will gather anyway, since it is one of the few non-shopping related forums to post on.

We need a dose of Dramamine to post here, Justice4all!

If they wanted to provide a deterrent to discussion, they have certainly succeeded.

If you read the new Guidelines in "Welcome Get Started"... You'll see there would be nothing left worth discussing in VPs anyway. Hence, it's gone, I guess.

Because you obviously aren't allowed to have any viewpoints on the new forum.
