The place seems to be a bit of a ghost town since the move, many people haven't come back
I wish the new site could display all the names of active users on a particular forum at the bottom of the page like the old version.
Is there away to see who thanks your posts, it's 99% of the reason I post in the first place
If you have to release a user guide for people to use an "upgraded" discussion forum then you have kinda lost the battle.
Still can’t find the soccer forum.
oceans of white space on right hand side
terrible formatting of page numbers and latest post
Wonder if there is some other reason for the ‘upgrade’ — like better ads or easier/better analytics.
Not a frequent poster by any mean but definitely checked in on some forums everyday. Weather, bargain alerts, and a few more. Tried to get the hang of the new site within a day of it going live and couldn't... still can't find most of the forums I was interested in. First time in over a week trying again. Definitely won't be checking it a often, they've ruined what used to be such an easy site to navigate and what's with the super white screen???
I would doubt any poster thinks that boards.ie is better now than before the changeover. It just worked before, it doesn't now, it wasn't an upgrade it was a serious downgrade. It's a real shame as it was a good resource for all kind of stuff.
"Don't see that anywhere"
Because they're not called comments, they're called bookmarks. Click your profile pic at top right and click Bookmarks.
Don't see that anywhere
Complete sh1tshow... I don't know how anyone could look at this platform as an improvement on the previous version. Did anyone review this or look for feedback prior to migration... Its like going back in time 10 years. If the people who run this site wanted to kill it then just turn it off.
I've been here for 15 years on a daily basis but I'm struggling to stay interested in coming here. Without sounding like a total wimp, I'm actually saddened at what the site has been turned into.
Anyway, rant over, back to real world problems like choosing what cheese to put on my burger.
Why the hell are my posts being attributed to another mod on woodcraft forum
Crazy stuff going on here...
Its a sad thing for boards and the community that this upgrade is turning so many members away, the core essence of what boards is
about seems to be dissolving, daily. I came in today for my usual modding fix on Woodcraft, where there was a great thriving bunch of posters,
who have barely posted at all over the last few weeks, I think its two a week this week. And to be honest, I find it so confusing to find it, I am asking myself,
why bother. I bother because I like the forum and those who post their regularly and infrequently, and its nice to be helpful to each other.
But quite frankly I am slowly losing the urge to keep coming back.
More like whatkraft did to Cadbury chocolate. Completely destroyed it
How do I stop getting notifications from this thread (I posted in it a few days ago) without also stopping notifications from all other threads in which I have posted? I have unclicked the bookmark thing, didn't work.
For now, use the Comments link in your or the user's Profile.
'Posts' are currently called 'Comments'. ......
Yeah lots of heavy users all gone in the last year. No one really made any comment on it. But might because they can no longer find anything, or get notifications.
Now how about the all my posts , or find all x users posts ?
I see the AH has it's pagination back! yay!
slowly getting better ...
Depends on who the poster is. If it's someone with a low post count or a relatively recent join date, then, yes, probably nobody cares. There's no shortage of new(ish) users who want to make dramatic exits, and we're all a bit weary of that.
However, if someone like Wibbs or someone we've seen post a lot to threads [with a decent reputation], then, yes, many posters would care. I can think of a dozen or more posters, I'd genuinely be sorry to see leave.
can we at least get back the 'drop down' menu please😐️
no self importance, just a very bad site who id say 95% of users agree with
I am spending a lot of the time i used to spend on boards, watching YouTube Videos, and I keep seeing this add for "forum" software. It seems fantastic, they will migrate all your forum data, do a test run, validate everything works, and give the users a smooth transition to the new site, it's called VanillaForms.
Not really, some people either liked "new coke", or were neutral about the change.
You're commenting on it so apparently you do care.
It’s always very amusing when posters who are puffed up with self-importance feel the need to let everyone know they intend to quit the site, as if anyone really gives a shïte.
the upgrade has been truly awful, so hard to find anything now, used to enjoy reading the soccer forums, cant even do that now,. terrible terrible terrible. good luck
New here. Funny timing, joined just at the new makeover. I believe there's no app for this. I looked previously anyway. Will have to learn the ropes here, am getting a message, "Body is 1 character too short? :)
Keep logging on hoping something has changed for the better but still a big disappointment from the way it used to be.
Will be switching over shortly to that other site.
The move to this platform is a "new Coke" moment for boards
nah, more like a fiat multipla,
now that was god awful car - in every way🙃
lol "Renault MIGRAINE" !!!!!
