"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

Forum runs slower, scrolling is slow and choppy. Yes, confusing to get through. I use an android tablet if that matters

Today is the first time I've seen the new format. So far it's a bit confusing but I plan to give it an honest try before passing judgement.

I like the new setup. I posted previously in another post that it was fine. After that, I wrote a lengthy post in another thread and lost all the work-it didn't post. Oh well. TT will get the bugs worked out and everybody will like this in the long run. It's the web, folks; you gotta go with the evolution.

I don't see any improvement with the change. I am not interested in spending a lot of time figuring out how it's supposed to work. I'm outta here. Maybe I'll be back in a few weeks to see if it's any better. Adios.

It's very difficult to navigate now, I can only see my own profile by searching for myself. I can't find my friends list anymore. Please someone help. I'm on the mobile version, not sure if that makes a difference.

A major step I the right direction though obviously some glitches to be ironed out. Pleased with progress so far.

You can page through the forums now, so at least one bug has been fixed.

On an iPad individual threads take up a lot of space, so you have to do a lot of scrolling. Have to see it on a regular computer. Also, the old format made it a little easier to tell how many replies a given thread had. It will take a little time to get used to the new format, but it does look better on screen and does still seem to work.

What I miss are:
1. the "more" option at the head of each post to see where the person who write the entry was from.
2. the number of forum posts one has made along with their username.
3. the ability to embed pictures in forum posts.

As I made my previous post I noticed that it said I made the post 5 hours ago. There may be a time conversion issue. I am in the Eastern Standard Time Zone of the United States, that is UTC - 5 hours.

Is that now not possible?

My bug report:
Having to resubmit forum/group responses over and over
Joining new groups but not being able to post in them
Having to reload pages
Slow loads on pages
Complaints:
No feed on updates to the groups that I belong to
-Include this in "my feed". I liked how we could see the exact topic within the group and when it was last updated when first logging on. This has kept me very active in my groups and might effect how interested I am in remaining active
Make "my feed" more than just friend activity

Not impressed with this version . Colour scheme is pathetic.
Print size is too small and I can't adjust it.
No latest post selection button .
If it stays as is I won't be here much longer.

New format it is, yes. An improvement? Not at all. The previous version was much easier to navigate, quicker to download, more overseeable. Please give us back the old version!
