Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

There's bloody 14 of them for this new thing
If AH couldn't be moderated then maybe the moderators needed to be changed. That could be said for an awful lot of forums here.0 -

Yeah it's not meant to be fun though.
Maybe fun is the wrong word. Enjoyment might be better in my opinion.
I was mod of a fair few forums and gave them up one by one as it became more of a pain in the arse than it was worth. I wanted to give back but not at the expense of my enjoyment of the site.
I don't believe this split will resolve the issue but I understand why it's getting a run out.
Edit, just to add, I did have a lot of fun when modding, behind the scenes and with posters in the forums

Get better mods then or update the charter.OldMrBrennan83 wrote: »There's bloody 14 of them for this new thing

Changed with who exactly? As AH stands, we had mods and admin threatened via PM with doxxing, threats of finding out where they lived, physical abuse, etc. I'm pretty sure I've read at least a few reported PMs from particularly charming posters where mods have been threatened with rape. Who in their right mind would sign up for that?0 -

If you work for a charity for 40+ hours a week with 0 pay, is that not considered a job?
Modding isn't a job yet plenty of posters on here want mods online 24/7 at their beck and call and at times it feels like a job 0 -

Tbf your opening.a can of worms there essentially admitting mods arent required to be neutral in disputes on subject matters they mod??
Surely accusations of favouritism is the endpoint of this policy?
A mods opinion is irrelevant on the topic being discussed when actioning a post if that is what you are asking?

No, it isn’t. You’d be a volunteer. Like a moderator.
You’re not paid but you can’t use that as a forcefield against criticism.0 -

No, that is volunteering. Not a job. And very few people working for 40 hours for a charity are unpaid. The charity industry employs tens of thousands, plenty of them well paid.0 -

I was only having fun because of it. They actually did do away with zero hours, fair play.0 -
I appreciate the time some have put into this but the way it has been done is not going to work and it'll just go the way of the Cafe.
Like I said last year....Outlaw Pete wrote: »...let After Hours rest in peace I say and just rename this forum 'Current Affairs' as to continue to call it After Hours is to do so in just name only, as the ethos and spirit of the forum that once was, has long since passed.
After Hours is a Current Affairs forum, to extract current affair topics from After Hours is absurd and misses the whole point of the forum and disrespect it's history and the mods that worked hard down the years to see that it's ethos was honoured.
Just look at the old logo and see what was chosen to be repeprsaentive of AH, a guy sitting on a barstool:
...now tell me which bar it is where people shoot the breeze and talk shite, but not about current affairs?? Come on, it's laughable.
We have a Politics forum and a Humanities forum, and a whole range of other forums for discussing current affairs in serious ways, devoid of all jokes and meandering, where users must be very civil to one another and that's cool. After Hours though, was (and still should be) Boards barroom, where users can discuss and debate anything and everything, current affairs or otherwise, in a manner which would not be appropriate elsewhere on Boards (and for good reason).
There have been a string of new landlords over the last ten years or so that don't seem to get that. Who want to appease the blow in patrons that came in here and didn't like the way things were being discussed. Like going downstairs in Bruxelles and saying 'What's will all the heavy metal music?'.
After Hours was sanitized, the tail was allowed to wagbthe dog, and it didn't work, and rather than admit that and put the heavy metal music back in the jukebox, further changes are being made in an effort to make it popular again, rather than admit the changes were one of the reasons the forum started to fail.
Heavy metal music = "frank exchanges of views on serious and at-times controversial topics" of course.
So, imo, you should have just renamed AH to be 'Current Affairs IMHO' as what's the point in making it a sub forum? Why allow frank current affair discussions there, and not here? You're trying to make After Hours some feel good forum for light hearted discussions but we already have Sunshine, Lolipops and Rainbows.
You all tried to fix something that wasn't broke. Admit that, put it back the way you found it, and make After Hours great again!
