In answer to the points made above.......yes, the site is still usable. Worse in some ways than it was before. Better in some ways (if you can be bothered re-sizing photos to post them - for me, that means I still can't post photos, so even that gain is wiped out).

But really......when the 'new, improved' web site and forum have been promised for at least a couple of years......and finally arrives a year or two late.......and, at the very, very best, is only 'no worse' than the previous version......I have to say, that is a reason to complain. Despite what the ardent CC supporters (ridiculously, in my view) try to say.

Surely you mean, can't be bothered to post photos, rather than can't. That was my attitude on the old site as it involved booting up my PC and using a cloud based programme. 

Now it takes literally seconds to resize using an app on the iPad, and then the photos can be easily added from my own device. No cloud based programme required. It also means we can add photos to any stories we post. This is definitely a significant improvement.

Is it just my computer but when typing in 'compose a reply' the cursor is a few seconds behind my typing!  undecided

Just occasionally this occurs, but normally OK.

What I do find a bit annoying, is if I hit the backspace delete arrow on my iPad, it sometimes takes out a whole line or more before it stops.

If it is so bad, why are you naysayers still here, can it be the delight of self affliction or maybe the inability in having to learn a new navigation system. It's getting to be troll like behaviour scattered all over the place.

That old saying "We like things the same old way because its comfortable" springs to mind, trouble with that thinking is it throws up barriers to new ways and become unnaceptable pshycologically.

The CC will never return to the old site, just  accept it with its oddities, slowness in editing, slowness in responding, slowness in refreshing and 'newness' and things will eventually improve as things are improving elsewhere on the Webite. CT is way down the line for updates and rightly so, just use the phone if it is important and enjoy life laughing

Excellent appraisal of the "improvements"  in the new claimed  "State of the Art CC forum". 

Ok It's usable - Just--. But the software has failed miserably to come up to the standards of proper Forum Software, both in functionality and accuracy. 

How the handful of ardent CC supporters can claim that this updated forum is state of the art,    I am at a loss to understand.  --  Only explanation is that Specsavers are issuing free "Rose Tinted Spectacles". 

Cheers.......................K

I keep that too, Why if people are so very upset with this new Ct, why do they keep posting on it? Are they forced to use it? Like you I think they like complaining and trolling, no other explanation fits? does it?

Mind you its exactly the same posters who complain about club sites then keep on using them, what? why?

Hang on, have I just read the expression "ardent supporters" of the CC from two completely different posters? Are they so unsure of their point of view that they have to belittle other with condescending expressins like that?

Surely "this is a friendly forum and such comments are not welcome"!!!  Laughing smley.i
