    Noticed this as well. Nobody bothered to set up redirects to the old links as part of the upgrade. Amateur hour.

    Is DeVore not associated with boards.ie anymore? Did he sell up at some point?

    Robots isn't blocking crawling so hopefully the googs self heals soon.


    As for boards, welcome aboard /r/Ireland.

    Not sure if its been mentioned yet, but there is no differentiation in the colour of the like button, so you're unsure if you've already clicked like or not. Also still can't see who's liked your posts.


    Was never really a fan of vanilla

    Yes he sold up quite a while ago and is no longer involved.

    This disorganised mess would never have happened if he was running the show.

    I'm not getting any email notifications of posts I used to follow like before.

    Did they purposely **** up the site so people would give up on it and leave? It's a mess can't do basic things that worked perfectly fine on it before and for some reason, I no longer have access to the soccer forum even though I have had it for years!

    Well done lads...

    Am I the only one who can't read posts on the touch site apart from the op? The page numbers are there, there just aren't any posts when you click on them. What a stinking pile of shite.

    Touch site is just unworkable with navigation click throughs that bare no resemblance to old touch (which was much better). So that's that killed off.


    Might try and stumble around with desktop version on mobile.

    Not including the poster's name or timestamp of the last post on the home page or looking through the list of threads is making this place almost unusable

    It genuinely feels like this is the beginning of the end for boards. They’ve messed up that badly.

    I'm pretty fed up. Any recommendations of alternative sites other than reddit?

    I've done my best to give it a few days and not be the guy who hates change for the sake of it. But this is utter, utter shite. My usage has already dropped to a fraction of normal.


    Which is a pity. I've been here for 15 years.

    I'd be actually genuinely interested to hear this. I hate Reddit tbh but would like to find another discussion site

    I find the user experience worse on mobile and desktop now. The search is even worse than before, the only way to effectively search boards remains through google and appending site:boards.ie

    How can you find all your posts ? that was by far the easiest way to jump back into threads and conversations you’ve been actively participating in... but I’m not seeing it.

    Click your avatar on the top right, then click the profile icon and view profile, scroll down to the bottom and click comments


    This link might do the same job: https://boards.ie/profile/comments/Strumms

    Given up on the touch site, ugly, not user friendly and overly complicated.


    I'm resigned to using the desktop site, totally get moving servers but honestly, if something ain't broke don't fix it

    I haven’t even looked at the desktop site yet. Getting by ok so far. Probably not finding as many new threads is fora that I’d like but that will come I’m sure

    It's too camp and showbiz-gossipy I find.

    After using boards daily for nearly 20 years I think this could be the end. I can't find my forums any more without having to click 3 times in different sections. I know I could create bookmarks in browser but it's not ideal.

    Boards admins seem to be on radio silence as I'm sure the majority can see what everyone else sees but are afraid to speak out.

    And also built on Vanilla too. I see **** has appeared in the last couple of days but will need time and new blood in order to grow.

    Where are the admins? Will anyone take responsibility for essentially killing boards. Look at the place...it's dead! I'm here 20 years myself, stayed when there were better alternatives... We need answers.

    Is there a plan to fix the thing so I can see who the last poster is and who started the thread?

    Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue

    Agree. The site is dead. Never seen such a low volume of posts on the front page. I’m a member 21 years through different usernames and this is the worst I’ve ever seen it. Forums that were hugely active are now barely ticking over. People have voted with their feet. Is there really no way this shíte can be rolled back before even more lasting damage is done ?
