Time to roll back to previous forum?

I suppose it would be pointless suggesting we all simply give the IT people a bit of time to sort things out. Perhaps things could have been resolved before launch day but, come on,  none of us is perfect and we don't now want to appear to be bullying staff, do we? 

But if they don't have a list to prioritise against and cherry pick the easy fixes first they will just add more bugs to keep us all entertained ( can't you tell I spent 30+ years in IT😏).

Which highlights one of the major problems with the site, you knew where that was but I hadn't a clue it was hiding in an area called 'Ask The Experts' and virtually the first thing you see is a note saying it is an area only for Mods to post in🤔

Do you know they don't have a list, of course they are aware of the shortcomings regarding the forum. Do you know that they have not harvested all the 'complaints' (relevant), have a list of order pinned on the wall. IT do not respond directly on here and never have, they follow orders as we all do in working life, give them a break. If there is a failing in feedback then it lies elsewhere.

It has already been stated that all feedback comments will be taken onboard, plus it has been stated that an IT person will eventually appear in the 'Ask the Expert' section, and meanwhile the moaning continues.

40+ years in sensibility

I have this morning received an acknowledgement from the CEO's PA pending a detailed response in due course to my Email detailing the principal but not a comprehensive list of shortcomings of the site. It will be interesting to see the nature of the response.

The percentage of people complaining should be taken from the number of regular posters!

There should also be an indication as to the percentage of members who have never posted.....then the theoretical figure of 1 million can be thrown out of the window!

I view the forum most days.

I use the site, normally to book a campsite, 3 or 4 times a year.

Hi everyone, and thanks again for your feedback.

As you can imagine, launching a website of this scale is no easy task and it’s inevitable that we will experience some teething problems. There are a huge number of complexities in delivering a project of this size and whilst we did extensive user testing, it was always going to be a challenge to capture every possible scenario.

Whilst we appreciate this has affected some of our users we wanted to let you know that it’s on our radar and we’re working hard to address all the issues discussed in this thread. We’ve been collecting all your feedback, bug reports and comments. We review and report each item and they have been added to our issues list for review and will be managed according to priority.

Please bear with us as we continue to update and improve the website.

But I thought that is what this was going to be ,a new improved website , so the new new one will be along soon !!!!

still ,it gives us something to look forward to 

Here's one from you earlier HD, which side of the fence are you on tomorrow I wonder

Must be something in the Xmas bonios'

"personally I don't have a lot of issues with the new forum, most of the problems are with myself not being fully conversant with resizing photos etc , but that's is not the fault of the forum ,but me ,the user

some of the other forums that I use have annoying little faults , but that's life"

Firstly I'm not on either side of the fence ,all I'm saying is we were promised an improved website , one could argue that this is improved (photo posting) ,but not so easy to navigate round , and now we are told that we have to wait again for an improved website , there is only so long someone can be patient

but I will still post and nice to have a follower
