Hello,

As you are all aware, we launched new pages several months ago. It was an expensive design by a company (Psd2html.com) that came with promises of being user friendly and responsive. Needless to say it turned out to be neither. :(

Soooo, we are working on new pages to replace them.
We have just launched the "All Threads" page as a test.

Please be aware that the change is to ONLY ONE page - the ALL THREADS PAGE.

**The rest of the forums pages (the black pages) were never redone. We will be working on those over the next few weeks.

Changes to the All Threads page include:
-The main change is it's responsive so will look better on your cellphone, ipad or desktop
-We replaced the icons at the top of the table with buttons that make their purpose more obvious
-We made the background light gray to be easier on your eyes
-We made the entire cell clickable (instead of just the Thread Title in the blue link)

We welcome your constructive feedback on this page as we work to improve the forums section.

If it is now on, your page looks rather incomplete.

Perhaps, it is time to charge some for being here and in that way scammers and people that flood the fora with their same diatriba with several profiles would pitch in to pay for the site grin

I am willing to pay.

It looks so sterile...no character to the forums page at all. blues Change can be a good thing but I'm not sure the format chosen for the forums will entice folks to participate...just my two cents. conversing

thumbs up


The landing pages of both the blogs and forum are awful on a mobile phone ..


One thread or blog button takes up the entire screen in landscape view but then when you rotate your phone, there's only half a screen down the LHS.


I'm not sure why Last Poster/Blogger is not apparent at first glance nor why, when I make it to the main forum page and click on All Threads, it takes me back to the dreaded Landing Page.


Perhaps it would be beneficial (and more cost-effective) to devise a poll for members to give their opinions PRIOR to making changes.


I suspect many would click on the 'It Ain't Broke, Don't Fix It' button laugh

I did check the posts/threads of the Mods before replying because the page looked rather "hijacked" to make sure it was them.
