Say Something Good about new boards, as boardsie who preferred old

[Deleted User]

Come on say something good.

Me: Noobs will get greater chance to be heard if they have anything useful to contribute. Older as well as chung wuns. For a brief period, " its who you know no boards not what you know" won't be a factor.

I quickly get board trying to maneuver the site. That must be a positive, no? It’s not a negative, yes?

Well...nah can't think of anything

To be fair, as they introduce the features it is getting better.

Too much wasted white space is still a big problem. Not sure if it can be fixed or whether that is the skin they are using.

Initially disappointed, i now think actually rolling out new functions/features over days and weeks might actually help me with my automatic outlook of 'change is bad'

It's so vanilla

The font is bigger, which is better for my old eyes. That's about it :(

I like change so I'm willing to go along with it and see how things work out.

Or..I've no life and this is all there is;)

It's so futuristic, it feels like a New Mobile Phone in my hand as I think of the Star Trek thingy-ma-jiggy..ahhh u know,.when they use to say:Beam Me Up Scotty.. feck sake do u not remember!? It was like an old flip phone before flip phones were invented,.do u remember now!?!?

Ahhhhh forget about it ffs 👿

I like the larger text and that your username doesn't show up on the browser when you're logged in. After that, nah.

Will there be a dark-mode for this upcoming finalisation of the new boards.ie website?. That would be a nice add-on, pretty please.

Emm, Oh yeah, no, Hmm, no. Ah, it's still called Boards.ie that's good. 🙄

Something ‘good’? Hmmm.

Thus far, this forum update has met my expectations perfectly, without any deviation from my anticipated disappointment and awful user experience.

One might take that as ‘good’, were one to have been graced with a vocabulary matching the standards most commonly bestowed through an education in the American colonies.

Something else ‘good’? It’s not quite as bad as MySpace or BeBo were in their dying throes.

sheesh

I think it really has captured the zeitgeist.

And it works which the other one didn't

look its fine what are we worried about at least it isn't facebook

Id love to as I am a huge fan I rarely post but I follow several threads avidly Mrs Sliabh reckons too much at times . But this latest incarnation leaves me underwhelmed if only I could get back my followed forums that would be a start. Or even set a new followed forum section that would be a start.

The new quote system is way better

prunudo

A positive you say, I suppose I'll have more time for other tasks as I won't be able, I mean can't spend time catching up on threads I used to previously follow and browse.

Another positive maybe that it might get better as features get added. But at present I find it unusable, it just doesn't flow, takes too long to quickly browse and catch up on followed threads.

Can't think of anything. Hardly be on boards anymore

ednwireland

its grand , I can post ,which is all i did on the old one.

not sure why people are making such a fuss.

HildaOgdenx

It might stop the multi quoting, that kills many a good thread.

The missus is no longer giving out to me for being on Boards all the time.

Sam Quentin

My threads are called Discussions and my posts are called comments cool ..

Also if I'm in the middle of writing a post ohhh I mean a comment,and I go back a page to check something..my half written comment is still sitting there ready to be completed and posted,. That's cool.

The death of the multi quote is to be welcomed

Plus way easier to attach stuff

GerardKeating

You can paste an image directly into a post, rather than having to attach it as a file first.

Riesen_Meal

It will get there, it's just going to take a lot of the time, the mobile site is what's awful and needs all the work, when you put it to desktop mode it seems a lot better to navigate....

But attaching GIFs and videos and the like is much easier thankfully and doesn't need a degree in vBulletin software

The J Stands for Jay

Mobile site is shite.

Anyway, good points...

1. I've stopped getting countless email notifications of replies to threads (and notifications of replies that were posted 2 weeks ago).
2. I typed "shite" in a reply and it wasn't censored.

Bloodymice

Am I the only one who can’t figure out the new layout at all? My followed threads are gone. I used to use ‘recent posts’ all the time - has that gone too?
