Is it me ! Or because there's no stars

Totally agree.  No stars, like others have said, its a sorry excuse for a forum.  Hate having to click on "I Agree" every single time I want to enter the site and I still can't download photos.  On lots of other forums, I can download photos at the snap of my fingers, but this forum has to be so complicated.   I used to like looking at my history of postings so I know where I can look back and see what others have said and contribute more, as in a chat room.  Oh, and the icons, are in a sad state of repair 

Great I'm really warming to the new site, only small gripe and that is the slow refreshing of the index page of the forum (waiting for www.caravanclub) from elsewhere on the site, and its not my end as I have 70Mb download speed. Navigation is 'different' but once use to it, it is fine. Text OK, colours OK, I'm happy

I think the new navigation has put a lot of posters off the new site and could be the reason for it being quiet.

Now that the CC new forum has been up and running for a good number of days, In My Opinion it is not really much worse than the old one. It's just a case of finding the workarounds to the various glitches ( I've found quite a few good workarounds already ). 

One thing is for sure. There is no point of anybody voicing their disappointment in the new forum software on this forum as nothing will change. The decision has been made.  End of. 

The CC Management have decided upon and implemented a forum which they believe is entirely suitable for their customers. 

So posters can either do as I have done, use the forum as supplied by the CC management and find workarounds.  My preferred choice !

If still unhappy, forget this one and use other caravanning forums to discuss their hobby, there are plenty of them on the net..

I don't think that it is due to Christmas and I think that the loss of stars is a good idea, stops some (not all) people posting for the sake of it. I used to open'discussions' and see at a glance what was going on, what was being posted and decide if I wanted to contribute. Now I find that I have to keep swiping and wade through so much  I can't see anything at a glance anymore, and I just can't be bothered. I have been reading and contributing from the beginning but now it is very rare that I even look at it. I have noticed today that there seems to be many long standing members missing now. All that seems to have improvedis that pictures can be posted easier, a high price to pay. No good moaning about things, the powers that be don't listen so I won't be bothered to use it in future.

If you remove all the comments about how poor the new forum is I think there is less posting.  Personally it's nothing to do with stars I've just lost interest and probably post a quarter of what I did prior to the changes. 

I'm pretty sure I won't be posting anymore stories or photo.s.

My posting on CT always goes down this time of the year, usually because I'm busy with extra concerts and practices.  This year it's been made worse by the fact that I've been ill since October with a cough and cold, which has left me very tired.  I'm still coughing, even after a course of antibiotics to help cure the chest infection.  Off back to the Dr's this afternoon.

I do not think it has had time for some to get to grips with the new site yet ,also it is xmas/new year and a lot of people are still doing "better" things, and as for the lack of stars it has stopped a lot of "likes" blocking the pages,so it may look as if there are less posts

... and it's not even worth a

You get nothing for it now

Are the problems with forum navigation based on different devices? 

I use a Desktop and IPad equally and find it no worse than the previous version. I never used notifications, or looked at "my recent posts", so maybe I am not a typical user.  I added photos on the previous version and do so know. No problem

Nothing to do with stars, or lack of, maybe a bit to do with Christmas, but overall, a lot more to do with new website for me personally. Too much hard work using Apple devices, it is slow, clunky, a dozen clicks are required to achieve most things. Hence, I visit very little now, and tend to post mainly in CL section, trying to give them some support. It is no longer an enjoyable way to pass time on here, and I suspect a good few other regular contributors are finding things the same. Other forums are far easier to use.
