Don't let them get you down Greg, we appreciate the hard work you. Unfortunately it is human nature to complain about change. Give it a few weeks to settle down and as we get familiar with the updated system I expect the comfort factor to improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Squid Posted October 10, 2016 Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 Still sucks. Â The status updates are much worse. the look and feel of the site is terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no choice but to upgrade, so lets all stop complaining. If no one else has done it yet I thank you for the time and effort you've put into the upgrade. I have some quibbles with this or that and how it's working but I appreciate the work involved. I think people just get used to a particular format, a particular style, become familiar with how something works, and then get annoyed at having to relearn things. It's a fairly normal human failing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybercoma Posted October 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 The upgrade is infinitely better on my tablet and phone. I've not used it on my computer yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've done it a number of times and the quoted text doesn't seem to look like italics. It generally works for me, but I just tried in the status updates and it didn't. The WYSIWYG editor is new for the status updates, perhaps there are different editors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said, sites and the software used to build sites are gearing it towards tablets and phones more and more. On the PC it looks ok, but I had to shrink the text. Personally I don't like the looks of a lot of sites because of the tablet look, CNN's site and ABC news are perfect examples of the new looks and they look terrible and function even worse ..

Moonlight Graham Posted October 10, 2016 Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 I'm going to have to post a bit more before I decide how much I like the upgrade so far. But the first thing I notice is the status updates are obviously much more cumbersome. I also miss the latest created threads being shown on the right-hand side, that was a great little feature.

One change that I would like made, if possible, is to restore the option in the email notice of a post to go to the last nuread post. Also, make filtering of new topics in email easier. Other than that I feel your pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC_chick Posted October 11, 2016 Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 What's the difference between Recently Browsing and Who's Online. Â I notice sometimes a poster appearing in the latter shows as having posted '1 minute ago' but they are not in the Recently Browsing category.

The_Squid Posted October 16, 2016 Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 The chat screen sucks. Â It takes up very little of the actual screen. Â Is there a way to expand it? Â It might be 7 or 8 lines.... it should take up much more of the screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestCoastRunner Posted October 16, 2016 Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 (edited) I still find it a pain that I have to scroll down for the latest post on my phone. There must be a way to adjust that? I never used to have to do that. I was always presented with the last post every time. When an upgrade happens it shouldn't negate user experience. Edited October 16, 2016 by WestCoastRunner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
