  Re: This New Forum Is A Downgrade. Reply Contact  I cant relate to many of the complaints written here. ALL i want to do is read and reply to posts,i dont bother with fluffy picture postings,or searching for stuff,(even though the search function is pretty poor),and all the other froo froo internet doohickey's. And whats this talk of less traffic??   This is the most populated board i am a member of.I cant keep up with all of the posts and different threads as it is.If this board has "less members and traffic" now then i would hate to see it at full throttle with even more members,it would be even more overwhelming than it is now! ~A tired dog is a well behaved dog~

  Re: This New Forum Is A Downgrade. Reply Contact There are some major issues with the forum. We all know it. Kate has been on top of things and letting us know what isn't working and what could be working better. Believe me, she is doing her best to get it corrected.  The previous software worked much better but we were looking to inhance the user experience with more options. Unfortuinately the person who brought in this format didn't spend any time with those of us who have used the forum in buliding. We hope to have the issue resolved but it might not be any time soon. Please hang on! Please Lord if I must lead only one life, let it be at the end of an Am Staff

  Re: This New Forum Is A Downgrade. Reply Contact But, I'm sure this software wasn't real cheap and I would imagine that any business would rather try to fix the bugs than have to toss a forum out and start over........ It matters to me to know that we are being heard, and even tho stuff isn't getting fixed YET, "they" at least are working on it, and trying to resolve the issues. Yes, the forum is slower than it used to be, but, some of that is likely due to natural attrition. A house without fur is not a home. Glenda

Reply Contact I can anser that-yes Since the original forum this is the second software we'vepurchased to make the forum a better place for our members.

  Re: This New Forum Is A Downgrade. Reply Contact I can't be the only one with enough Scotts blood in me to try to fix something if I can! As I recall, there was some "stuff" going on at the time of the change, and perhaps someone had a little more power than was wise? I do know that I was modding at the time and knew nothing about a new format, didn't beta test it like some others got the chance, didn't even know it was happening. I had to call Jaime to see what was going on.....and she told me she'd have to kill me if she told me! LOL! A house without fur is not a home. Glenda
