Time to roll back to previous forum?

I am writing this is Word and about to use it in a post to try and answer DD’s question. Um, it seems to work?

One more annoyance is the "Like" button that when used pitches me back to the start of the thread for some perverse reason.

I feel that the best way forward is to revert to the old forum whilst the decision regarding which of the commercial software forum packages is to be adopted. 

With all due respect to the people that have prepared this new website I do feel that forum software design is best left to others. 

I  am  slowly { as  befits  a  dinosaur  !! }  getting to  grips  with  this  new  version

BUT  I  must  admit  the  loss  of  the  "Recently  Used"  panel  to  the 

right    of  the  page  is  sad,  slows  me right  down  in  my  short  visits.

Also  I  would  still  like  the  page  numbers  to  appear  at  the  top  as  well  as  the  bottom  of  a  page.

 

Grumbles  pretty  well  finished,  thank  you  !

P.S.  the  "you  can  upload  up  to  5  photos"  bit  is  really 

offensive,  'cos  I  can't

DM, I've just liked your post without it taking me back, it did take me to the beginning of the page your post was on. I scrolled down to find the reply box. No problems

couldn't agree more with the general consensus - a shambles.

My last 30 years were in IT - and NONE of the projects I was involved with were this bad!! (in positions from analyst to programmer to PM...)

The whole site crashed whilst I was trying to purchase from the shop - so I went elsewhere.  Yes IT dept - your incompetence cost the club profits from that too.... 

Test, test and test again - a well-used mantra but oh so true.  They should have also done regression testing to revert if necessary - but I don't have any confidence that this will have happened.

I think we're stuck with this one!!  Now where's that application form to join a well-known other caravanning club?

I haven't posted a lot on this new forum (but there again I never did on the old one).

As far as I can tell it works OK for me.

I can read posts. I can like posts. I can reply easily. I can quote and reply. I can add photos and insert thumbnail links to external videos.

All of that I've done easily on a Windows 7 Desktop, and on an IPad.

is it really all that bad ?

Goldie, I'm also using windows 7 with Firefox and an Android table and have not had a problem doing the things you say. Its the following of threads and new posts that is a major problem. The current system of showing these doesn't work and it is certainly not an improvement on the old system.

peedee

You are absolutely right John, fortunately we were able to continue using Scout base.

It shouldn't matter a jot what computer/tablet/phone and software you use the problem is this version is just not fit for purpose and it is up to CC Ltd to solve the problems.  It shouldn't be up to us to tell them what is wrong with their system
