Re: How do you like the new Forums?

As of right now, I don't like it.

 

Why did they fix what wasn't broken?

I like it! And I like the validation process because it will hopefully curb some of the not so friendly anonymous posts Smiley Happy

Not liking it at all. Old forum was much better! This is not an improvement in my opinion.

For me, they broke it and it's of limited utility now.  I used to be able to display all threads according to time of LAST REPLY, and that's how I followed threads of interest to me.  I can't do that in this version, so I can't find the threads I want to follow.

 

 I can display topics according to their creation time, but some were created long ago and are buried under new stuff.  Or I can display by most recent posts, but then a thread that has generated a lot of recent responses is listed over and over, also burying the threads that interest me.   Neither of these schemes suits my needs.

 

If I can't display topics by time of LAST REPLY, it's too difficult and time consuming to find what I want to read.   If I could do that, I'd be OK with the other changes.  As it is, it's of limited use for me.

Re: How do you like the new Forums?

I had to install the Chrome browser in order to read these new forums.  I don't have enough time to figure the rest of it out this week.   I did notice that my number of posts and the date I first registered for the boards have both changed.  I suppose everyone's did....?

Smiley Wink WOW I love the new look!! It is more up to date now and more like other sites. I love the fonts and colors and sizes yay!

 

It takes time for anything new and i think you all will like in time.

 

Just like when Facebook changes everyone goes crazy and hates it lol. Then they get used to it.

Re: How do you like the new Forums?

Post numbers don't matter to me. Being able to use the forum easily, does. I'm going to try to access reviews for a couple of items. That never used to be a problem.

BTW, that drop-down menu finally worked for me--on a different page I came upon by accident. Yeesh.
