New website

Bye.....Oh I forgot you won't be looking again

Seems ok to me. Might be nice to have page buttons at the top as well as the bottom? We probably should be having this conversation under "How to use club together"

I fail to see the problems that EJ and blue have about the site. I certainly am not computer literate by any means yet I have managed perfectly well. 

In the short time I have used it it seems to be pretty good so far. It may be helpful to list what members think are the good and poor bits. Some of the poor bits may be able to be addressed by the Forum Manager that way?

My views are:

Good:

Adding photos easily in threads.

spell checker that works.

Poor:

Not enough threads visible on the page.

No list of your recent threads available on the right of the screen so you can follow your recent discussions easily rather than remembering which thread and which section they were in.

Loss of stickies & an inability to find them even when you know their previous URL

I think it is far to early to comment too any degree. However, my reactions have been generally favourable. Yes a few things could be better, and may indeed be tweaked in the future. The photo uploading,  whilst still a little cumbersome, is a 1000 times better than on the old site. However, now the star system is defunct, there is no quick way to gauge how long someone has been posting. This makes blues comments difficult to evaluate.

Why oh why must we still have to scroll to the bottom of a page to move through pages in a discussion?  The page links should be at top and bottom of each page.  It's not exactly difficult to implement.

Perhaps it would be more helpful if you listed your concerns as Roy suggests, at least then admin can look at the information you provide and hopefully tweak. This is quite a big change and I doubt with the best will in the world everything will be absolutely right on the first day.

Just found out that the stories section has not migrated well as it appears none of the photos I have uploaded to my stories are visible on the new forum. There are photos there but they are not mine!  The text is there though so that at least is something. This is a real sad loss if the Club cannot fix it. Regards, Roy

PS, The Meeks who have written 285 stories have non of them listed under them as authors. Since they were very much supported by the Club in their ventures I find this very strange. 

Well said David. This is a great chance to get things much better and I feel we should all help to get the best we possibly can. Lets hope the Manager is going to follow this thread and that other members add the good points and those that perhaps need looking at. Regards, Roy

I am finding the new forum a bit slow and intermittently hanging for a couple of seconds  every so often. Looks like a bit of work still needs to be done tuning the system. 

All other websites are working perfectly.
