I'm Finding This To Be An Easy Transition

 

I can't possibly be the brightest bulb in the strand here, and i'm no computer whiz. So there must be other users besides me who are finding the new forums user-friendly and the new features to be easy to identify and use, and not difficult to figure out! The "Get Started" instructions answered all the questions so many posters keep asking!

 

I do, however, agree that the games are such a specialized interest, and seem to be over-running the Community Chat area. So far, everything else is working just fine for me for the first day out the gate!

 

As with anything new, i anticipate there will be some ongoing adjustments/tweeking for a time. So chillax! A positive attitude goes a long way. Thanks to all those working to make this a better experience! Cheers!

Really? I can't find any of the threads I was following because either they were included in the last two months of threads that were dumped across the entire community or with that gap hidden you couldn't even find the threads you were following because they have gotten rid of almost all of the subfcategories and buried them in Community Chat. Yes, the new format is pleasing and when they fix the features that they think they have included on the IPad but in reality are not there it will be nice. However they seem to have forgotten that Community is lost when you fragment it and bury it so that people cannot talk and share etc.

Positive Attitude??? Nothing I have been following, contributing to and enjoying can even be found!

I am looking for the promised "bread crumbs" that are supposed to assist us in finding  where we have already posted.

Really, i'm sorry for those whose lives seem to have been turned upside-down by today's events! But i must say that i'm finding the drama to be just a tad over-the-top! LoL

 

I'm sure things will work out just fine. I say try and give it a little time and a little patience. Unless a user is two yrs old, we're all probably able to process that not everyone's specific demands tonight can possibly be met, not on any board anywhere, especially not instantly! 'Hope everybody hangs in there and sticks around! Cheers!

I'm liking the new changes too! Especially from my iPhone which is what I use most of the time anyway. The only thing I don't like is that I lost most of my post count....it wasn't that high anyway because I read way more than post but it dropped down to under 100. 😟. I do like that I can use my emoticons from my phone though. So far, so good.....

I don't think it's a matter of anybody's life being turned upside down.  It's a matter of them having touted the positive about this change now for weeks and some of us, while seeing some positives, also feel a bit like we're adrift looking for posts, threads and posters we like to follow, as well as for our favorite threads and for some on-line friends...  It's annoying and disappointing and yes, I think we all hope they'll quickly iron out the defects.  Of course, I guess what remains to be seen is what is amenable to tweaking.  Hopefully quite a bit.

So happy for you . . you seem very proud of yourself.  What about the missing sub categories?  I'm enjoying fabulous chats with friends that have moved over to a FB group much better.

I agree! I'm liking the new format a lot. Hopefully the grumpy posts go the way of the old board! 👍🏻

Anyone see how to "quote" from an iPhone or iPad? I saw the option when I was on my computer but not seeing it from my phone...
