Welcome to the new Boards.ie platform - Version 1.0 :)

I'm getting close to it tbh.

I've seen the same problems flagged again, and again, and again (and bored myself stupid repeating myself with the things that particularly bug me), and nothing obvious seems to be getting fixed.

I have no doubt that they're all working 24/7 in the background, and maybe there's non-visible stuff that needs to get fixed before the visible fixes become obvious - but my god, it's taking an age, and I'm starting to lose faith.....

Of course not, they won't reply to critisim of the move nor will they reply to giving our data off to a non EU company.

But I feel that they have realised they have been duped themselves. From being one of the best run forums on the internet, looked after by many people for free in their own spare time to this mess must be horrible to take. I'd love nothing better than boards to retake it's former glory but in the meantime I want the ability to delete my account, all my PM's with personal details including addresses and phone numbers from talk to messages and my posts in private forums that could easily identify me discussing personal issues.

Please let me completely delete my historical boards presence for over 15+ years and let me create a new profile where I know what I'm signing up to.

I wonder what Bressie thinks of all this?

I know how to get to my bookmarked threads no bother that's not my issue!

Issue is I don't know which threads have had new post in them since I last went into them, the list here looks like they have all been unread. The number of new threads that I followed that had been updated with a new post had a handy number in top right on old version so could click here and bring me to all my threads and ones which had new posts were obvious..

There are so many basic functions not working or missing completely and progress to resolve these is almost non existent. Since the relaunch little has changed in terms of real functionality despite assurances they're working hard to resolve these issues. Maybe some small, behind the scenes issues, have been fixed / improved but the big issues remain. Not optimistic for any quick fix.

A lot of questions people are posting here about accessibility or features seem to be answered with "On the mobile site... the mobile site on ios looks like something from an old WAP phone i can't see anyway to view my followed forums on there either or indeed follow a forum.

I'm on the desktop site now trying to track down the few forums and threads i followed and i'll have to bookmark one thread in every forum to gain quick access to it, which still involves a good few clicks on the desktop to get to where i want to i.e the main page of a forum to see what's new there.

Just in case any of you missed it, here's the solution to the unwanted forum notifications (e.g. Richer Sounds - this was posted by Mark in the RS forum).
