I'm sure as soon as this old dinosaur works out how this improvement works, there'll be another that will send me into a tail spin. For about 5 minutes.

From a personal point of view:- U have a simpler page, with not so much distractions on it. Definitely better ! The cell phone version will take some getting used to, not an improvement, remember the touch screen can be widened with ur fingers.

rizlared: Go back to the way it was in 1998, that was clean, easy to use and worked, it didn't need changing.
All you needed to do was create a script to handle Phones/Tablets


thumbs up

galrads: I liked the last international (all) forum home page. Much easier to see where you want to go and without all the big type. The last all forums page let you know straight off eh the last visitor was/is. You don't have to scroll as much or do a next page and wait for updates on cell phones especially, iPads too.

Return to the last all forum page format and fix and enable hot-links again will bring more people in the forums again imo.


I've found that once ive navigated my way to the familiar All Threads page, clicking on International Forums (halfway down on the RHS) takes me straight back to that page after reading or posting.

Ive also saved that page on my phone's homescreen to sidestep the forum landing page.


I only encounter that if I log in.conversing

Moderator: 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.



This new format forces the advertisements right in you face. thumbs down

Exactly. They asked for feedback, but all they got was a lot of moaning.

I realize that you are only making changes specific but I just have a question. I use my Android cell phone 99% of the time. I am unable to participate in the music threads for video, or pics so I can post along with the other's. Is there a way for me to use videos/pics from my gallery?

Thanksbouquet

Kinda like the new format with the location at the top and in your face.

However, can the main page also have a column to the right with the location selected by the host? That way if it is another USA Donald Trump post created by someone in the USA, then members located in the rest of the world can just ignore those posts, because they are usually either posts from haters or lovers with the same old same old each forum.

Now if someone in Ireland makes a post about DT, I would definitely read what they have to say.

Evidently so far those responding to the OP MOD don't like the changes much. I like a format where I can see at a glance what activity and users participating in the threads are like over the last day or so etc (like before) rather than having to scroll around and see all the advertisements bigger and more frequently. Having the ability to go to the current page in a thread directly from the all thread page is a plus too.

Gotta agree with you and feedback be it good or bad is what the mod is looking for so there we go. wave
