Re: I'm Finding This To Be An Easy Transition

I'm liking it as well. It'll all work out, just give it a little bit. Other than subcategories and changing original sign up date, it's not that different,for me.

Everyone is never going to be happy. Some things I like and some I don't.

I need the ignore and finding my posts options.

I'd like the gamers to have their own forum or viewpoints have a separate forum. Either will make me happy. It's too hard to play together.

I didn't like it at all at first, and still don't like many aspects of the new versus the old. However, I don't have a big problem with the "transition" itself, and I doubt that most posters have "had their lives turned upside down"... just disappointed. I'm sure most, like myself, can find their way around and post and learn some of the new features. The problem I have is what they left out... and WE can't fix that and it isn't a matter of learning... it's a matter of what isn't there.

Some of the major problems I have are 1) lack of organization, i.e., when threads were listed under forums and subforums, with last reply DATES and TIMES, etc., it was much easier to find what you had been posting on... this is a disjointed mish-mash that seems to all run together;

2) the lack of posting history, i.e., ACTIVITY. They have apparently added a "View All" button today just below the list of threads you have started since yesterday morning, and when you click on that, you do get some previous posting history now. BUT, it's almost as though they picked one thread from each page of your previous history and put it here. I have thousands of posts, but only 6 pages of threads show up here. None from the last two days, none from the last few months, but some all the way back to my very first post in 2012!

3) What they did NOT move over to the new board. Loss of many threads, posts, pictures, etc. that meant a lot to a lot of people. I was only interested in a few of them, but there are a great many posters who are sadly very disappointed to lose what was important to them.

So, the "transition" or learning curve or whatever anyone wants to call it is one thing... what we may not ever get back is another.
