barkwindjammer Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Just my opinion, for what its worth, I thought the previous style of forum was a heck of a lot easier on the eyes, mebbe I'm just getting old ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterC Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 I tend to agree. I miss the drop down allowing to mark forum as read and return to board index. It now take an extra click and mouse moving to achieve the same. Another forum I visit has also upgraded a few weeks ago and just about getting used to it now but it is no better for the user. I accept sometimes you have to take the next step and upgrade the software, but it just doesn't look right. PS I'm now 60 so allowed to be grumpy!

Moderator Goff Posted September 7, 2009 Moderator Share Posted September 7, 2009 You can still mark the forum as read. I you click general (or whatever forum you want to go in) on the dark blue bar to the right is the option to mark as read It is a new layout, but it is very easy to use once (like everything else) you get used to it and it is very user friendly.

Gas up - Let's Go! Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 I'm as nervous as a tomcat going to the vets after the first night I've kept my owners awake, whenever upgrades take place.... Call it 22 years of experience, call it grumpy old git, whatever you call it there are always problems, whether these are just daft 'undocumented features' or real 'christ we need to regress this out' pant staining F'cups - either way I think this one has been pretty painless on the whole. I'll confess I realy didn't like the new layout, and I too have lost my lovely St Georges Cross, but then I've lost everyone's flags ! Getting used to it now, and the new link locations. Progress! it just means change, but hopefully for the better !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may well be a kick of the ar$e from Scotlandshire, but we don't tent to put upgrades down our pants south of the wall. Our software is up to the job, the firmware is always in a serviceable condition too...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
