Posted on 17/12/2016 10:04 by DavidKlyneI have a notepad by my computer and as I notice things that need attention I note them down and will in, due course, will send them to Rochelle. Starting from yesterday I thought the forum had become a bit quicker which is a good thing. As far as posting I have had no problems and I can add photos although rather ironically I found it easier to post photographs under the old system but I accept we need a system that assists all. What really concerns me is that the New Forum is all that people are talking about and posts and discussions elsewhere have all but stopped. Perhaps I could encourage people to use the energy they are currently using just to complain about the shortcomings of the new forum to get out and about in the other sections and bring some life back to the forum?

The new site has a lot going for it and as I have said in another post I quiet like it but CT is in is current form is unusable. If the Club wants us back then do something to improve the user friendlyness of following threads. The "new" tags are a waste of time plus they do not accurately reflect what has changed since last log on.

< After all we are lucky to have this Forum>
Lucky? It's not my idea of luck. Anyway, why should we be 'lucky'? We pay for it !!!!
I won't bother to look in here for a few months and then just drop in to see if it's still functioning. Neither CT nor the CC in general is sufficiently important to my motoroaming pleasure to justify making an effort with this amateurish, clunky and user unfriendly web site. Several professional and lively alternatives are readily available.
What a waste of our money when there are first class tailor made products available off the shelf.

I must admit that I've not used CT much since its upgrade, but so far I'm not too impressed with it. I do realise though, for me, it's partly because it's different and not what I've been used to for the last few years.
There are however, also quite a few glitches, and that's very frustrating at times. It's also not that user-friendly.
But it won't stop me using it, and I'll just have to get used to the new format, perhaps I'm getting older and less adaptable to change

I'm no expert in these things, but is it not possible to test a web based forum before launching it?
If they had done this, then they would have noticed things like the links not working, the delayed posting that causes duplicates, the difficulties with posting pictures stilll, the avatars not working, the spell checker not working, the 'latest post' in the index not being correct........
In short, they would have seen that it actually worked far worse than the poor quality forum that it replaced and they could have avoided the embarrassment of closing down the web site for several days and announcing this replacement with great fanfare.
IT people are renowned for releasing updates and expecting the users to do their job for them and find all the faults. This might be acceptable (but annoying) when it is released internally to staff.......but releasing it to the public (customers) is really not on.
Get a grip on your IT staff CC!
