"New Improved Format"

DesertRatOriginal Poster

Nov 12, 2016

I am finding this new format for the Forums very difficult to follow. It is very confusing. Is anyone else having similar problems? The games are no longer fun because they are becoming so difficult to use. Are these changes really necessary. Remember the old saying; "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." I would like the owner to explain these changes and why they are necessary. I see that we have a few more bells and whistles but I was wondering if they just couldn't be added to the old format and not create a whole, new format. It's like throwing the baby out with the bath water. DesertRat

It took me three tries to post this new topic. That is unacceptable. I kept getting messages to send a report. Why am I now listed as a Textile?

Like most changes there is going to be a learning curve but I'm not having much of a problem moving around or posting. It does require some experimentation to get to some things but I attribute that to just learning slightly new page layouts. I think the pages are more crisp. With some more use of the new and improved, most of us will be okay with it.

When you sign in at the top of the page is a message inviting you to test the beta test site. I hated it. Couldn't.t get back here for two days.

For a couple of days I was unable to get onto the Forums part of the site but I could use the groups which is the main thing I do on this site. But I haven't seen what has been improved yet so it is mostly like a political statement which is a lot of hot air and nothing else.

The new site should be an improvement for many things, but NOT the main Forums. The new Forum layout is just one big joke, and is a step back into absolute chaos.

For instance, on your post above, it shows your first post as Textile, then as supernudist, then it changed to UltraNudist after I posted this originally. I think I've submitted at least 5 bug reports now. John aka cobeachbum

Not one improvement has ever been made to the Forum pages, with any site upgrade.

[/quote]I'll stay with the old format as long as I can. The new Forum is definitely absolute chaos. That is not what I paid for.

I have not yet seen this 'New improved format' and I will be sticking to the devil I know but a couple of times the login hasn't gone as it should have as I just get some text to log in and not the whole page.
