You can sort by oldest/newest

On mobile? (Safari?)

Tried again, nope no options for anything after a search

It's impossible to use touch at the moment, there's no way to navigate.

On desktop, there's no "find all my posts" option. Kinda hard to figure out what I've posted and where.

This update is up there with when the AV Club moved to Kinja.

Edit - I also got a message that I've been moved up to level 3 - whatever that means. I see I still only have 1 star. So a fairly middling review for me I guess.

Aaaand I can't even follow this thread:-)

I have to bookmark the damn thing. Good stuff!

Yeah - so many unnecessary clicks for so many simple functions. I'm convinced the whole platform was designed for use on a mobile, by someone who probably doesn't even own a mouse ... or a laptop.

The usernames on each post are absolutely tiny. I have to squint to see who the poster was.

I echo what a lot of people said...bring back old boards.

While this thread is very helpful, could we also have a clean, dull and dry 'how to thread' started by a small knowledgable few who alone edit it? It might take some of the understandable but repeated angst from here?

Many thanks a song for you all posting here helping each other with 'how too's' and those working in the background today and tonight fixing you know...stuff.

That's going to be a question for @Spear and a thread for the Help Desk probably

What a fun feature.

... And that's how I learned @Flanders is available, so I can't tell them to screw themselves in homer-simpson voice.

Bad news, there is no Helpdesk. I don't know why it's gone, or if it'll be back. Same goes for dispute resolution.

Well hot damn.

I'll remand my complaints about formatting and the droplist to the back of the queue. To say nothing of modutils (and frankly, it's better if nothing is said, but I hope it got a good facelift)

New Home

This just happened - anyone else?

Didn't they try this before and fail??

Sigh.

Is this the end of Boards? I remember the refresh from the original format but I don't think it was half as bad as this...

I really hope not but whoever okayed this cluster needs to take a long hard look at themselves.

The Cush

I think I'll get to like it in time, once the bugs are ironed out.

The search functionality is a bit of a mess, e.g. searching for Starlink, the search isn't sure if there are 53 or 63 references and will only display a few links.

Lots of issues mentioned through the thread, these would be a few I would highlight.

• Miss the search in thread function
• How to link to a specific post, like you could do with post numbers previously. Post numbering I know is on the way as noted post #1, hope it comes with the post url.
• Posts, old and new, with date and no time of posting, would like to see this return, in 24hr format as already posted.

I don't understand what people are complaining about. Yes, it's littered with bugs, but they'll gradually be ironed out. It already looks a lot better than it did when I was last online, twelve hours ago. I think I like the overall 'feel' of it.

I'm using a PC, btw, which is the correct way to view a website.

Gas altogether TBH.

And said one person was in charge of sort the hole transfer.

That is just crazy to expect that of one person and get it right.

No idea how the 10k post limit even because a thing. One thread in the supplements sub-form on bodybuilding.com has over 5m posts on it.

You must be feckin' joking!!

The only positive thing I've found on this over the Touch site is that I can post a pic as opposed to a link.

Everything else is a disaster. There was nothing wrong with the "my threads" and the "my forums" buttons at the top of the Touch page. Now I have to go around the houses to try (mainly without success) and find what I'm looking for.

Also it gives me a pop-up every thirty seconds or so while I'm typing telling me my draft is saved which is very annoying (see bottom of screenshot).

I posted the above at 01:55 but it's only appeared at 02:19 after I checked the page. It's also posted a blank for some reason.

new site is pretty shocking…

how do you subscribe to a forum- not seeing it obvious in touch or desktop site?

also the date of posts are hard to see - and no year! important so you know if a post is very old and not worth replying to…
