Goodbye

I think this is the main problem some of us are on certain devices and it's all quite easy and some aren't. On top of that parts of the web site aren't up to speed so it's a double whammy.

The trouble with testing, as I see it, is that in situations like the general use of a forum it is very difficult to replicate the same conditions. The Mods had a short period when they could access the new forum as did some members of the Club staff. We reported back any findings we made but the problem was that it was not under proper operating conditions so was never going to a good test. Had the Club invited a couple of dozen regular posters to test the forum I expect they would have reacted slightly differently to regular posters because they were in test mode. However much you test some systems it's not until they are operating in the real world that you get proper feedback. Lets hope by this time next week many of the issue will have been sorted out. Having said whilst it might be a bit rough around the edges the forum is open to new posts which can be answered without issue by members.

Lucky to have this forum 😂 Sounds like something written by Uria Heep. Is the club membership free in your wonderland? 

 Only 3 days! Web designers worth their salt would never have considered launched a site in this state - its appallingly bad.

There is no chance this will be sorted in a week or two - to suggest such shows a complete lack of understanding of just how long fixing and re-testing bug fixes across multiple platforms can take.

Acres of white space; I can only see 2/3 posts on a page - a couple of major car multi-forums I visit show 15 per page! Should have bought off the shelf....

Agreed.  I think that best boy might have got it right,  for I am finding this forum much less much interesting, and far less user friendly now.  The other "talk" forum is far easier to use and follow.

And whats the point of staying when the management clearly have no concept of listening to the members?

The CC appears to be subscribing to the current trend in Retro.  Instead of upgrading to a modern 2017 forum using the latest forum softare, they have gone down the retro route, preferring to install software which would have been state of the art during the last  century.

While complimenting the CC Management  in embracing a Retro outlook to their software. I believe there is not a great amount of enthusiasm among their customers for this niche market

Just because it is difficult to test does not mean that it shouldn't be done. That is why systems developers get paid relatively high salaries. Besides a lot of the criticism is about the basic design of the forum & web site rather than the functionality. When I was working as a systems developer, if I had launched a system which was this badly received by the end users I would probably have been looking for a new job.

There is a plus side to everyone moaning about this new forum ,is that at least there not moaning about dogs 

I'm giving up as well.

It's straining my eyes, and patience, to read anything that is posted on the forums.

I'll pop back in the New Year and hope there's been an improvement to the problem.

In the meantime Happy Christmas and New Year to you all.

Makes me wonder if we are looking at the same site. I get 10 plus the sticky on the discussion page for this section (How to use Club Together) and 10 plus the OP on this tread.

If you are referring to how many you can see on your screen at one time. Even if you expanded it into the white space, you are never going to get anywhere near 15, unless the text was microscopically small. Might be OK if your using a huge monitor, but not on a pad.
