Is it me ! Or because there's no stars

It seems to take so many more clicks to get where you are trying to go ...  I wanted to get to the last post on this thread and its taken me an age being sent back to page 1 etc etc.  I never noticed the stars have gone - and I think they were useful to gauge how experienced - or not a poster was.

Big problem is no matter what your device, you have to match your finger/pen/mouse operation in speed to the slow response of the site. It's the only way to avoid repetitiveness of posts etc.

You think what you have done is not working so you repeat your operation while the site thinks about it, then you see repeated posts. Not so bad on a fast connection but even mine is telling me 'waiting for caravanclub.co.uk' when refreshing the homepage, and I have fast fibre to the house.

Experienced in what though?

Not necessarily in caravanning or MHing, only in posting on the forum!

Hopefully the OP has seen that there are good number of replies here.  IMHO CT will continue to evolve along with contributions from old/regular & new posters.

I would think it is the dysfunctional nature of the site that dissuades posters. I have been a fairly prolific poster in the past but this current incarnation does little to encourage me.

Never was a regular poster but this is my last one as without delving too deep it's hard to see anything of interest, can we have a rollback please

Sadly for me my interest diminished some time ago. The forum was my first port of call each day and my wife always knew when I was on when I laughed out loud. Basically the 'fun' has gone.I used to love the exploits of "Ivor Booking' and other very humorous postings. There were discussions that provided a broad spectrum of views that were stimulating that have now become sanitised. I cant really comment on the new format as I rarely look in now and have only just seen the change. Why did my avitar photo go?

I think I may have a record! 

14 presses to open a page!

The merit of the star system was that it gave recognition to posters who put more work into posting and following discussions. If you participated more you would get more points and go up the star rating. I can't see what's unfair about that.

I'm glad to see the back of the stars as well but I'm not posting much or looking in as much as I used to because the forum isn't much fun to use on my phone (which is how I've always accessed it)

Getting an overview of topics is harder and latest activity is still clogged up with 'likes'

When the promised improved optimisation of the mobile site takes place I may be back more often. Until then the pain isn't worth the gain.
