The Very First New Boards Thread!!

How do you feel? Are you finding your feet? Do the surroundings cause some nervousness and maybe even anxiety? That's ok. Leg End Reject and I are here to help guide you and make your transition (no not that kind of transition) more palatable.

Lay your head upon the warmth and comfort of this thread. Let it soothe your moans and whinges. Allow it to wrap itself around all your fears and what ifs.

We are here for you.

I think they are connected to things like how many posts we have, if we have a role, how long we've been members. That kind of thing.

I can't follow anything

Hmmmm….. touch version is a bit naff looking. And why am I seeing ads?? 😢

knucklehead6

Oh. Wait. They’re gifs.

Switch to the desktop version via your phone's browser settings and it's a better experience per se. Seems like there's a lot of kinks to work out yet

To follow threads use the bookmark version on desktop at the top right at the start of the thread page (indicated by a star on mobile), then you'll get updates for the threads you want to follow.

El Gato De Negocios

At first glance it's godawful but tbf, that can be said when alot of platform changes happen. Will give it a chance but at the moment, on android, it's pure gick.

anyway of following forums rather than individual threads?

May as well post something. I've just realized I don't really like new things or surprises.

They haven't got rid of "like"

I've seen HSE systems recover from cyber security hacks faster than this migration. Plus, when they returned, they aren't an awful eyesore like Boards is now.

Where is dark mode and how do you make it look like the old site?

New isn't always better!

Badly Drunk Boy

I suppose I'd better dip my toe in to see what it's like...

Badly Drunk Boy

Meh. Where are these points that ye mentioned? (I like stats and numbers!!)

M.T. Cranium

At first glance I don't see any type options such as style or size, wonder if that will remain the case or not. The new format still produces bold type if you block copy an existing bold type text. Imagine it's the same for italics and underlined.

Seems a bit faster in response time which is a plus, otherwise I had the general reaction of "wonder why they bothered."

I feel that I should now be adding a gif but I am not that gif-ted.

Oh so if you click on the three dots you can edit.

Good to see that the Soccer forum has completely disappeared

No it's under 'Groups' now as the access is private.

Groups — boards.ie - Now Ye're Talkin'

It's ok. I'm using the 'touch' site. It feels a little discombobulating because I'm not used to how it looks. It's a shame so many people gave the office a hard time over it. The frustration I could definitely understand when it was down but now it's back and there is still unhappiness.

It’s going to take a little getting use to, aitmDoF.

Boards users are, generally, older lads so they would never be happy with “change”. A lot of armchair IT experts on here could have done it twice as fast and twice as well.

Once they’ve “ironed out” the bugs it should be good as new.

Checks out new Thread smell.

Well, it's no Toyota Avensis Parts thread, that's for sure.

So much blank space!! Well on my desktop version on a desktop. Just keep scrolling...
