The new discussion website is absolute rubbish. It's so user unfriendly, god knows how to navigate it. I certainly will not try looking at it again. If the idea was to prevent members easy access to express their views you have in my opinion certainly succeeded. Bring back the old easy accessible site!!!

 TG. If you click on  "motorhomer from Perthshire" under your avatar you can see your latest posts. The latest posts on discussions show by time and date when you click on the discussion you want to read....it take a few days to get used to the set up. wink

 Thanks brue, I'm sure it will take a few days to get used to the new ways, all help and advice gratefully received as I'm playing catch up on you guys.

FYI Tammygirl

After typing in highlight your text then click on Bold or Italic & you will see word/s come up next to the P. If I remember correctly Rochelle's post mid December said something to do with HTML format.

Can I mention the actual new CC site hre?  Not thevdiscusion site but the new look main site?

I still find it dificult to find a site either using the map or by typing in a location.  And why do I have to give dates when I just want to browse.  The C&C Club site allows yu to simply type in a loctaion and then lists ALL sites, CLs, LIsted and Club sites on the map.  Much easier to use when you just want to plan where and not necessarilly when.

ALSO if a Clubs site has no toilet block faciities could this be made clearer at the outset?

The drop down menus at the top of the page are annoying, as the drop dowen as you pass the mouseover and obscure the page undereath.

All this is meabt to be constructive.  I like the look of the site it is just a but frustrating at times.

You don't have to use the filters or put in dates for sites, just tap the search button. I have to agree the C&CC site offers an easy straight forward search facility, but in the early days of their new web development the site searches and booking were so bad that it had to be closed down and re-jigged. I presume improvements will be ongoing with the CC?

I'm afraid that it's like a lot of web sites.......it's a play-thing of the IT department.

As is so often the way, they have produced a 'new' web site that looks a bit sleeker than the old one, but hasn't actually corrected any of the faults and, because it's new, takes time to get used to the new layout......for no advantage.

Still no spell checker (on iPad at least), still no PM facility, blank pages have been replaced by duplicate posts, many avatars don't display, the link buttons take numerous presses before they work, 'last post' information doesn't display correctly.......in what way is it improved?

And why am I even bothering to post this? All the CC staff have cleared off on holiday after foisting this upon us......

"Search by map" is shown in red letters on the search and book page. I don't know whether it's fully functional yet but it's easily found.
