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

Exactly the same problem I can’t find any of my followed stuff, it’s a crap house atm

Agree as well, but it's not going to happen - they can't afford it anymore. We're stuck with this mess.

Isn't it just as well neither M.O. is compulsory and we can each use Boards the way we prefer? Your interpretation, of the psyche of people who don't want notifications all day about threads, is way off the mark.

As someone who is exclusively a mobile user, this new update is completely unusable for me. I have given it many tries over the last few weeks and I don’t find it user friendly or easy to navigate, and I’m becoming increasingly frustrated with it.

I have gone from someone who read and contributed several times a day to someone who barely checks once a week because I can’t find my threads or forums and don’t have the patience to spend my time repeatedly trying to figure it all out. It really shouldn’t be this difficult.

The old layout was far superior, at least from a mobile perspective. I haven’t lost all hope yet but I have no interest in posting regularly again until these issues are ironed out.

And that's the irony.. Part of the original reasoning for a migration was that the VB install had become unstable and reached the end of what they could do with it.

As you say, here they are now doing the same thing again as they try to shoehorn what was basic functionality of the old site into this significantly cut down (but cheaper - which it turns out is what matters) alternative. The difference is that they don't own this platform and have to operate within the limits set by the vendor, and/or deal with the issues when that vendor changes something on the back end.

Whoever decided to go ahead with this badly miscalculated IMO

The bookmark this discussion is a good one Niamh. Thanks!

Niamh mentioned a new option under the comments box that should answer that for you.

Can we get some more options on pagination instead of just next / previous.

We were previously able to click the first page, last page and then the next few and previous few.

The box is checked by default. If you post in a discussion now, without doing anything else, it will automatically be bookmarked. That wasn't the case before the tickbox was there

Thanks Niamh, good to hear it is on the list to return. I think without it great posts in quieter forums get missed by the community, that has been the case for me anyway and my browsing time is down as a result. It was always a great way of discovering new forums and topics and was my first port of call on Boards so hopefully we see its return soon
